Copycat Starbucks Egg Bites Recipe

If you are searching for a quick, easy, and delicious on-the-go breakfast, then these Starbucks egg bites are for you! They are simple to whip up and are easy to store in the fridge for the week to keep your body fueled until lunch. I don’t know about you but I just crave eggs for breakfast! Maybe because I’ve had chickens in the past and loved using up their eggs. Either way, I just think they are a great way to start the day. If you want more than just eggs for breakfast, you’ve got to try these delicious and fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes, these amazing German Pancakes, and this easy Protein Smoothie.

Copycat Starbucks Egg Bites

If you have ever run to Starbucks for your morning coffee, you’ve probably tried one of their egg bites. And they are really good right? Well, this copycat recipe is even better! It’s basically a combination of my Denver omelet breakfast muffins and a yummy breakfast casserole. They are super quick and easy to make too, and are WAY more than just scrambled eggs. So what makes them so good? In my opinion, it’s the cottage cheese and Gruyere cheese! The cottage cheese gets mixed into the eggs until it’s silky smooth, and the gruyere adds a salty nutty flavor that you will go crazy for. The best part about these breakfast bites is you can make them on Sunday night and have a yummy breakfast ready for your whole week! Yay for meal planning!

Ingredients

I personally prefer this recipe to the Starbucks version now. These are SO good, and you can customize them however you like. I love adding spinach to mine, and switching up the type of meat. I share more tips on how to make this recipe your own below in the tip box. You can find the measurements in the recipe card.

Eggs: You will need 8 eggs for this recipe. I always use large grade A eggs in my recipes. Cottage Cheese: Adds body and so much flavor to this recipe! You can use cream cheese instead, more about that in the tip box below. Salt and Pepper: I like freshly cracked black pepper and salt to add a little more flavor. Gruyère Cheese: This is what makes this soooo delicious! It’s rich and nutty and perfectly salty to liven up this copycat Starbucks egg bites recipe. Bacon: Who doesn’t love bacon with their eggs?! If for some reason you don’t, you can add sausage or another protein instead.

These egg bites are super easy to make! If you can make scrambled eggs, you can definitely make these bites. Justmake sure you have a muffin baking dish on hand. Then you mix the batter, add your cheese and bacon, and bake! It is so simple and a perfect breakfast for a meal on the go.

Don’t Over Mix: Don’t over blend! You want the mixture to be smooth and frothy, but over-blending will incorporate too much air and your egg bites may end up falling as they bake. Cottage Cheese Replacement: If you don’t like cottage cheese or just want to switch things up, you can use five ounces of cream cheese instead. It’s just as delicious and makes them so smooth and silky! Switch Up the Recipe: Make this recipe your own by switching out the gruyere cheese for cheddar, pepper jack, swiss cheese, or Monterey jack cheeses, or feta! Saute some onions and peppers to mix in, or add chopped ham and chives. You can add whatever you think would be yummy! Other ideas are green peppers, red bell pepper (or roasted red pepper), tomatoes, green onion, and mushrooms.

In the Refrigerator: Store leftover Starbucks egg bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30-50 seconds. In the Freezer: Egg bites can be frozen by placing baked egg bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and placing in the freezer until frozen solid. Then transfer to an airtight freezer bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge, or thaw in the microwave by heating in 30 second intervals at 50% power until warmed through.
