Use a full-fat cottage cheese like my favorite one, Kalona Supernatural. Try to use a block of cheese instead of already shredded cheese. The cheese will melt better and the egg bites will be creamier!

The first time I ate a Starbucks egg bite I was in heaven. Typically, I grab them with my morning coffee when we are traveling and I want a high-protein easy grab-and-go breakfast.
The Starbucks egg bites are tasty and convenient, but I knew they most likely contained ingredients I wouldn't typically eat at home. I set out to make an egg bite in my kitchen that I could keep in the freezer and grab when I wanted a quick bite with my coffee.
Plus, the best part was that I knew that this would be a great way to make an entire batch for what the Starbucks egg bites would cost for only two of them.
This Starbucks copycat recipe is terrific for busy mornings and offers a healthy breakfast in seconds for you or your family. While most of the time you won't have leftover egg bites, these are easily made ahead and stored until you need them. These homemade egg bites fit into a low-carb diet or a keto diet.
You will need the following ingredients to make these healthy egg bites:
Ingredient Notes:
I always prefer to use a full-fat cottage cheese for any of my cooking or baking recipes. There are no added ingredients and the taste will be richer. My favorite brand is Kalona Supernatural.
See the recipe card for quantities and the full recipe.
Additions & Substitutions
There are many ways to switch up the taste of these egg bites, including my recipe for bacon and gruyere egg bites.
Additions:
Spices - Add some red pepper flakes or even a dash of Tabasco sauce to spice up the egg bites. You could also add garlic powder, chili powder, or dried herbs.
Green Onions - Add some chopped green onions for a slight crunch and an onion flavor.
Green Peppers or Red Bell Peppers - If you like bell peppers, adding either green or red bell peppers will give the egg bites another flavor.
Spinach - Use spinach along with some mozzarella cheese for a delightful bite.
Mushrooms - Saute some mushrooms and add in some garlic combining them with parmesan cheese for another flavor combo.
Protein - Crumbled bacon, Canadian bacon, or sausage would all work well in this recipe.
Substitutions:
Cheese - You can substitute gruyere cheese, swiss cheese, or mozzarella cheese for the cheddar cheese in this recipe.
Cottage Cheese - Substitute ricotta cheese or even Greek yogurt for the cottage cheese. I prefer a full-fat cottage cheese and use either Kalona or Good Culture 4% Cottage Cheese.
While there are many variations with this egg bite recipe, it is easy to turn these egg bites into a healthy frittata like this easy Smoked Salmon Breakfast Fritatta.
How To Make Healthy Starbucks Egg Bites Recipe: Step-By-Step:
Here are some quick visual instructions. Remember that full instructions with the exact ingredients are in the printable recipe card:
Step 1: Spray a mini muffin pan with a cooking spray or coat with olive oil and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place all of the ingredients except the chives into a blender or Nutribullet.
Step 2: Blend the eggs, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Divide the egg mixture into the prepared pan filling the cups no more than ¾ of the way to the top. Sprinkle with chives.
Step 4: Bake for 20 minutes or until the eggs are slightly firm to the touch. Let them sit for a few minutes before removing them from the pan.
Confidence Tip
Using a silicone muffin tin is much easier than using any other type. See the Equipment below.
Store - Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freeze - You can freeze these by putting them into an airtight container or freezer bag. Store these for up to 2 months. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight.
Reheat - You can easily reheat these egg bites by putting them in the microwave on a defrost setting or if defrosted, you can reheat them at1 5-second intervals.
Equipment
These egg bites work best in a silicone muffin pan. While the one I have at home is not sturdy, it bends all over the place, I do like this one on Amazon as it will be simple to take in and out of the oven. If you already own a silicone muffin tin that isn't sturdy, you can use a wire rack or baking sheet underneath it while it is cooking in the oven.
Recipe Frequently Asked Questions
Are Starbucks egg bites unhealthy?
Starbucks egg bites can be both tasty and convenient. While they may not be the healthiest choice on the Starbucks menu, they can certainly be a part of a balanced diet in moderation as long as you pair them with other healthy options and watch your calorie intake.
How does Starbucks get their eggs so fluffy?
Starbucks uses a French 'sous vide' technique to create a velvety texture that's full of flavor. However, these egg bites can be made in the oven.
Using simple ingredients, these delicious egg bites can be made without fancy equipment and by using only a blender and a silicone mini muffin tray. Change up this healthy egg bites recipe with different veggies or different cheeses to make the perfect breakfast or simple snack.
