Starbucks egg bites are delicious. And expensive. Make them at home for a fraction of the cost. Fluffy, protein-packed, with sweet roasted red peppers and creamy cottage cheese. No fancy sous vide machine. Just a muffin tin and a water bath. Make a batch on Sunday. Eat all week. Let’s bake.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat and Prep
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a muffin tin (silicone works best).
Blend the Base
In a blender, combine egg whites, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Blend until smooth and frothy.
Add Mix-Ins
Stir in roasted red peppers, Parmesan, and chives by hand.
Fill and Bake (Water Bath)
Pour mixture into muffin cups, filling ¾ full.
Place muffin tin in a larger baking pan. Fill outer pan with hot water (1 inch deep).
Bake 20-25 minutes until set and slightly golden.
Cool and Store
Let cool 5 minutes. Remove from tin.
Eat warm or refrigerate. Reheat 30 seconds in microwave.
