copycat Starbucks egg bites recipe - featured image

A creamy, cheesy, and tender egg bite recipe that mimics Starbucks’ famous breakfast bites, made with just five simple ingredients and perfect for busy mornings or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional add-ins: black pepper or paprika, chopped spinach or herbs, bacon or ham bits

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease your muffin tin or silicone molds lightly with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a blender, combine 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup small-curd cottage cheese, 1/4 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Blend on medium-high for about 30 seconds until smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese with any optional add-ins like chopped spinach, herbs, or cooked bacon bits.
  4. Pour the blended egg base into the bowl with the cheese and stir gently to combine.
  5. Fill the prepared muffin cups about 3/4 full with the mixture.
  6. Bake on the middle rack for 25 to 30 minutes until the tops are set but slightly jiggly in the center. A toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean.
  7. Let the egg bites cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm or store for later.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for smoother blending. Blend cottage cheese thoroughly with eggs for creamy texture. Bake low and slow at 300°F to avoid rubbery bites. Do not overfill molds to prevent overflow. Let egg bites rest before unmolding. For dairy-free, substitute cottage cheese with silken tofu and cheddar with vegan cheese.
