A creamy, cheesy egg bites recipe inspired by Starbucks, perfect for a savory breakfast treat that’s quick, easy, and customizable.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup whole milk (or dairy-free alternative like oat milk)
  • 4 slices cooked and chopped bacon (or turkey bacon or omit for vegetarian)
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)
  • Butter or cooking spray for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease your muffin tin generously with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Cook and chop bacon: Fry the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and chop into small pieces. Set aside.
  3. In a blender or food processor, combine 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/4 cup whole milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Pulse until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.
  4. Transfer the blended egg mixture to a bowl. Fold in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar, 1/4 cup shredded Gruyère (if using), chopped bacon, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives. Stir gently but thoroughly.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling about 3/4 full to allow rising (makes 6 servings).
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and tops are slightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  7. Let the egg bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing. Serve warm or store for later.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for smoother blending. Don’t overbake to avoid rubbery texture. Blend cottage cheese well for creamy texture. Tent with foil if tops brown too quickly. These egg bites freeze well for meal prep.
