Make these fluffy, high-protein egg bites at home using cottage cheese for a creamy texture. They are perfect for quick, grab-and-go breakfasts and ideal for meal prepping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 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 standard muffin tin or silicone egg bite mold.
  2. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This step is key for fluffy egg bites.
  3. If using add-ins, divide the shredded cheese, bacon, and spinach evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  4. Carefully pour the blended egg mixture over the fillings in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. For a texture closer to sous vide, you can place the muffin tin in a larger baking dish and add hot water to the dish to create a water bath (bain-marie).
  6. Let the egg bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  7. Serve warm, or cool completely before storing for meal prep.

Notes

  • For a true Starbucks copycat texture, use a blender to ensure the cottage cheese is fully incorporated.
  • These egg bites are excellent for low-carb and keto diets.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
