Make these easy, high-protein egg bites in the oven. They are a perfect copycat version of popular coffee shop bites and ideal for quick, grab-and-go breakfast meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (2% or full fat)
  • 1 cup egg whites
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/4 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped spinach (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin or a silicone egg bite mold.
  2. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, egg whites, and whole eggs. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. This step creates the fluffy texture.
  3. Pour the blended egg mixture into a large bowl. Stir in the shredded cheese, bacon (if using), spinach (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix gently to combine the add-ins evenly.
  4. Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set in the center and lightly golden on top.
  6. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  7. Cool completely before storing for meal prep.

Notes

  • For a smoother, Starbucks copycat texture, ensure you blend the cottage cheese and eggs until completely smooth before adding mix-ins.
  • These egg bites are low carb and keto friendly when made without starchy vegetables.
  • Store cooled egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.
