How to Make Starbucks Egg Bites At Home

Less than a handful of simple steps are all you have to follow to make these delicious egg bites.

Step 1: Prep the Veggies

Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a mini muffin pan.

Then, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion and mushrooms for 2-3 minutes, then add the bell peppers and spinach.

Cook until tender, then stir in the green onions. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Step 2: Blend the Egg Mixture

In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, eggs, egg whites, chili flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Assemble the Egg Bites

Pour the blended egg mixture into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about ⅔ full. Add a tablespoon of sautéed veggies to each cup and sprinkle with grated Monterey jack cheese.

Step 4: Bake the Egg Bites

Bake the egg bites for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked and set. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the countertop before serving.

My Expert Tips

1. Use Full-Fat Cottage Cheese: It gives the egg bites their creamy, velvety texture.
2. Customize Your Fillings: Swap in bacon, ham, or your favorite veggies for endless variety.
3. Cool Before Removing: Let the egg bites cool completely before removing them from the pan to avoid breaking.
