Make these easy, high-protein egg bites using cottage cheese for a fluffy texture. This recipe is perfect for quick, grab-and-go breakfasts and simple meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (2% or full fat)
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (optional add-in)
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach (optional add-in)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin or silicone egg bite mold.
  2. Combine the cottage cheese and milk in a blender. Blend until completely smooth. This step is key for a smooth texture.
  3. Add the eggs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the blender. Blend again until just combined. Do not over-mix.
  4. If using add-ins like bacon or spinach, divide them evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings in the muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of each bite.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the egg bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.

Notes

  • For a true Starbucks copycat texture, use a blender to make the base mixture very smooth.
  • These egg bites store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and freeze well for meal prepping. Reheat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for the cottage cheese for a slightly different texture, but the cottage cheese provides more protein.
