Instructions To Make Copycat Starbucks Egg Bites

Preheat the Oven:

Set your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Fill a baking dish ¾ full with hot water and place it on the bottom rack of the oven. This will create a moist environment, giving the egg bites a sous vide-style finish.

Prepare the Veggies:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add diced red bell pepper and chopped spinach (if using). Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the peppers are slightly softened. Set aside.

Blend the Egg Mixture:

In a blender, combine eggs, Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese/ricotta), salt, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard powder, and black pepper.

Blend until the mixture is smooth.

Prepare the Muffin Tin:

Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling about ¾ of the way.

Add Fillings:

Spoon a small amount of the sautéed pepper mixture and diced ham (if using) into each muffin cup.

Top with shredded Gruyere or white cheddar cheese.

Bake:

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg is set. The egg bites should be firm to the touch.

Let them cool slightly before running a knife around the edges to release them from the tin.

Cool and Store:

Serve immediately or allow them to cool completely.

Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Finish Up:

Discard the water from the water bath.

Serve and enjoy!
