Make fluffy, high-protein egg bites at home using your oven. This easy recipe is perfect for meal prep and tastes just like your favorite coffee shop version.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
  • 1 cup egg whites
  • 4 large whole eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or Cheddar)
  • 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (optional add-in)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped spinach (optional add-in)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use silicone liners.
  2. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, egg whites, whole eggs, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, about 30 seconds. This step helps create the fluffy texture.
  3. If using add-ins like bacon or spinach, divide them evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  4. Carefully pour the blended egg mixture over the add-ins in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture in each cup.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The egg bites are done when they are set in the center and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  8. These are great served warm or stored for quick grab and go breakfast options later.

Notes

  • For a texture closer to the Starbucks sous vide version, you can bake the muffin tin inside a larger pan filled with about an inch of hot water (a water bath).
  • These egg bites freeze well. Cool them completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for the cottage cheese for a slightly different texture, but ensure it is thick.
