Ingredients You’ll Need for Starbucks Copycat Egg Bites Recipe For A Fluffy High Protein Breakfast At Home

To whip up these delightful egg bites, gather the following ingredients:

6 large eggs
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
1/2 cup cooked spinach (or other vegetables like bell peppers or onions)
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking spray or oil for greasing mold

Let’s Make It Together

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Stir in any additional ingredients, such as cooked spinach or seasonal vegetables, for extra flavor and nutrition.
Grease a muffin tin or silicone mold with cooking spray or oil to ensure easy removal.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared molds, filling them about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
Place the mold in a baking dish and add water to the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the molds, creating a gentle water bath.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and cooked through. You should see a light golden top.
Allow to cool slightly before gently removing from the molds.
Serve warm or store in the refrigerator for convenient meal prep throughout the week.
