Egg Bites like from Starbucks
Egg Bites are one of the most popular, quick, and even pre-prepared breakfast options in America. While their flavors can vary widely, their shape always resembles a cupcake. Today, I’m sharing a recipe for this beloved American breakfast, inspired by the most popular coffee shop in the U.S.—Starbucks. It’s simple, quick, and absolutely delicious—I promise!"
Cook Time
30 minutes
Ingredients
- Eggs 5-6 pcs
- Bacon slices 3-4 pcs
- Cottage cheese 180 g
- Shredded cheese 50 g
- Salt/ Pepper to taste
- Olive oil to grese muffin tin
Instructions
- Start by chopping the bacon into small pieces and frying it in a dry pan until crispy. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C)
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, cream cheese, salt, and spices. blend with an immersion blender until smooth
- Grease a muffin tin with oil. Add bacon and grated hard cheese to the bottom of each cup. Pour the egg mixture on top, leaving some space at the edges
- Place the muffin tin on the top rack of a preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes. For a steam effect to keep the cupcakes fluffy and prevent them from drying out, place a baking sheet filled with water on the bottom rack
- Allow the finished egg bites to cool slightly before removing them. They can be served immediately!
Notes
- Egg bites can vary greatly in flavor depending on your personal preferences. For example:
Replace whole eggs with egg whites for a lighter option.
Swap grated cheese for cream cheese for a creamier texture.
Instead of fried bacon, try endless alternatives such as baby spinach, chopped bell peppers, sautéed mushrooms or onions, fresh herbs, or diced tomatoes.
These egg-bite are perfect for preparing in large batches. They stay as tender, soft, and delicious even after reheating as when freshly baked. Plus, they can be frozen and used as a convenient semi-finished option when the fridge is empty.
You can make them using either silicone or metal molds.
