Starbucks Bacon Egg Bites
The perfect on-the-go breakfast, these ultra silky smooth Starbucks bacon egg bites with a custard-like texture that melts in your mouth. Make these easily in your oven without any special equipment needed!
Servings: 12 egg bites
Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon, diced
- 8 whole eggs
- 1 16 oz tub cottage cheese
- 2 cups shredded gruyere, divided
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2-3 teaspoons hot sauce more or less depending on your preference
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
- Nonstick spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray. Get the diced bacon cooked to crisp and set aside on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
- Using a food processor (recommended) or a blender, blend the cottage cheese for about 1 minutes or until it's whipped smooth with no curds. Into the same food processor, add in the eggs, 1 1/2 cups gruyere, hot sauce, salt/pepper, and cornstarch. Blend until combined and smooth.
- Get a pot or kettle of water boiled on the stove and pour it into a casserole dish placed on the bottom rack in the oven, enough water to come halfway up the pan. Close the oven immediately to capture the steam inside.
- Divide the egg mixture evenly among each cavity in the muffin pan, filling them almost to the top. Add a generous pinch of cheese to each muffin, using a spoon to push the cheese to the center. Top each cup with a generous amount of bacon.
- Place the egg bite tray into the oven on the center rack (with the steam tray remaining in the oven on the rack below). Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are set and no longer jiggly.
