Make light, fluffy, high-protein egg bites at home that taste just like the popular Starbucks version. These are simple to prepare in a muffin tin and perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (optional, for flavor variation)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin or silicone muffin molds.
  2. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This step is key for achieving the fluffy texture.
  3. If using bacon, stir the crumbled bacon into the blended egg mixture.
  4. Divide the shredded Monterey Jack and white cheddar cheeses evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  5. Carefully pour the blended egg mixture over the cheese in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  6. Place the muffin tin into the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove the tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  8. These are great served warm or cooled for a grab and go breakfast.

Notes

  • For the best texture, do not overfill the muffin cups; leave a little room for them to rise.
  • You can substitute the bacon with chopped spinach or diced ham for different flavor profiles.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave for a quick savory muffin snack.
