Make fluffy, high-protein egg bites at home using your oven. This easy recipe is perfect for meal prep and tastes like your favorite coffee shop version.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or Cheddar)
  • 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (optional add-in)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped spinach (optional add-in)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or use silicone liners.
  2. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This step is key for fluffy egg bites.
  3. If using add-ins like bacon or spinach, divide them evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  4. Carefully pour the blended egg mixture over the add-ins in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture in each cup.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  8. Serve warm or cool completely for meal prepping.

Notes

  • For a true Starbucks copycat texture, use a blender to ensure the cottage cheese is fully incorporated.
  • These egg bites are excellent for low carb and keto diets.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.
  • You can substitute cottage cheese with plain Greek yogurt for a similar high protein result.
