This recipe replicates the creamy, custard-like texture of Starbucks egg bites using a sous vide cooker. Quick to prepare and perfect for meal prep, these egg bites are a delicious and comforting breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, preferably room temperature
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk or heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Pinch of salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Fresh chives, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your sous vide water bath to 172°F (78°C).
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine eggs, softened cream cheese, and milk or cream. Blend until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
  3. Transfer the egg mixture to a bowl and fold in shredded cheddar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Lightly grease four 4-ounce (120 ml) mason jars or silicone molds to prevent sticking. Pour the egg mixture evenly into each jar, filling about three-quarters full.
  5. Place lids loosely on jars (finger-tight) or cover silicone molds tightly with foil.
  6. Submerge jars in the preheated water bath, ensuring they are fully covered. Cook for 60 minutes.
  7. Remove jars from water bath and let cool for 5 minutes before loosening lids. Garnish with fresh chives if desired and serve warm or refrigerate.

Notes

Use room-temperature eggs for better texture. Blend cream cheese and eggs thoroughly for a silky smooth mixture. Do not overfill jars to prevent overflow. Cook sous vide at 172°F for exactly 60 minutes to avoid rubbery texture. Reheat gently in microwave or steam to maintain creaminess. Variations include adding sautéed vegetables, cooked bacon, or swapping cheeses. Dairy-free options available using vegan cream cheese and plant milk.
