Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (2% or full fat)
- 1 cup eggs (about 5 large eggs)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full fat recommended)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup mix-ins (e.g., cooked bacon crumbles, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped spinach)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use silicone liners.
- Combine the cottage cheese, eggs, Greek yogurt, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This step is key for fluffy egg bites.
- If using mix-ins like bacon, cheese, or spinach, stir them into the blended egg mixture in a bowl. Do not blend the mix-ins.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the egg bites cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
- Serve warm or store them for meal prep. These are fantastic as a low carb egg bites recipe.
Notes
- For a Starbucks sous vide egg bites copycat texture, you can use a pressure cooker with a trivet and water bath, cooking on high pressure for 8 minutes, followed by a 5-minute natural release.
- These egg bites freeze well. Cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
- To make them keto egg bites, stick to low-carb additions like bacon, cheese, and non-starchy vegetables like spinach or broccoli florets.
