Steps To Make Copycat Starbucks Egg Bites:
Want To Save This Recipe?
Step 1: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and generously grease a 12-slot muffin tin with cooking spray. In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, and salt until you achieve a velvety-smooth mixture.
Step 2: Now, assemble the magic: place half a strip of bacon in each muffin slot, top it with gruyere cheese, and pour in the egg and cottage cheese blend evenly. The steam bath is the secret sauce—create it by carefully pouring boiling water onto a baking sheet on the bottom oven rack.
Step 3: Wearing your trusty oven mitts, slide the muffin tin onto the middle rack, close the oven, and let the alchemy happen for 25 minutes. Once done, let the bites cool slightly, pop them out of the tin, and savor the homemade Starbucks experience.
Tip:
Elevate your Starbucks-inspired Egg Bites by adding a burst of freshness to the cottage cheese. Before blending sprinkle in an amount of finely chopped chives, dill or any herbs you fancy. This simple adjustment will infuse each bite with the fragrance of a garden and an added layer of deliciousness. It’s an impactful change that will turn your egg bites into a gourmet breakfast treat. So go ahead and embrace the enchanting flavors of herbs and let your taste buds revel, in joy!
