Oven Baked Starbucks Egg Bites
Make the fluffy sous vide Starbucks egg bites at home in your oven!
Do you love the bacon and gruyere Starbucks egg bites? I do too, but I was sick of paying their expensive prices.
I knew I could make them at home for cheaper, but I needed to figure out how to get them smooth and fluffy. After some testing, I realized that if I blended eggs with cottage cheese and then steamed the egg bites in my oven, they turned out perfectly rich and fluffy.
How do you steam in an oven?
In order for these oven baked egg bites to be extra fluffy you need to partially steam them. You can created a steam bath in your oven by pouring boiling water on a baking sheet.
Place the egg bites on the middle rack in the oven. Then, place a baking sheet on the lowest rack in the oven.
Pour boiling water on the baking sheet and close the oven. As the egg bites bake they will also be filled with steam.
- 12 slot muffin tin
- Blender
- Measuring cups and measuring spoons
What ingredients will I need to make this Starbucks egg bites recipe?
- Spray oil
- Eggs or egg whites
- Cottage cheese or cream cheese
- Salt
- Bacon
- Shredded gruyere cheese
Can I use cream cheese instead of cottage cheese?
Yes! You can use an 8oz brick of cream cheese instead of the cottage cheese for this baked egg bite recipe.
What else can I mix into these baked egg bites?
My favorite flavor of the Starbucks egg bites are the bacon and gruyere sous vide egg bites so I usually make those. There are so many other egg bite flavor combinations you can make.
- Roasted red pepper and feta
- Broccoli cheddar
- Spinach, tomato, and goat cheese
- Mushroom and herb
Can I make Starbucks egg white bites?
Yes! To make these egg bites with egg whites just swap 2 cups of egg whites for the 9 full eggs and follow the rest of the instructions.
Let’s make Oven Baked Starbucks Egg Bites!
Step 1: Prepare egg bites
To begin, preheat oven to 350F and spray a 12 slot muffin tin with a spray oil. Add eggs, cottage cheese and salt to a blender.
Blend until a smooth mixture remains. Then, add 1/2 strip of bacon cut in half again to each of the muffin slots.
Add the cheese to the muffin pan on top of the bacon. Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the muffin pan, filling each pan evenly.
Step 2: Prepare a steam bath in the oven
Next, carefully prepare the steam bath by placing a baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven. Boil water on the stove top and carefully pour the boiling water onto the baking sheet.
Step 3: Bake the egg bites
Then, place the muffin tin on the middle rack of the oven. Close the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven. Turn off the heat and allow the baking sheet to cool before removing it from the oven.
Allow the egg bites to cool slightly then remove from the muffin tin and enjoy!
Storage and reheating
Store the egg bites in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in an air fryer or under the broiler in the oven until golden brown.

These were ok, but I wouldn’t make them again. I have made a different recipe for ones made in a mold in instant pot that turned out much better. These did not come out clean, fell apart some, and were a little too salty.

Excellent flavor! Comes together nicely. Make sure the egg mixture covers the bacon and cheese. Mine came out okay, but they were top heavy and the bottoms of the muffins were empty. Still tasted great! I would tap the muffin tin on the counter top a few times before baking!

Thanks for that update Anita!! I agree that sometimes the mix ins aren’t evenly distributed. Banging on the counter is a good idea to try

Made these and they were perfect. Curious how many calories are in one?

Madeline says
Hi Brittany! It totally depends on the brands of cottage cheese, gruyere, and bacon you use so I would recommend plugging the info into a calculator on your own. https://cronometer.com/ is a good one

Yep! You can freeze them in an airtight container and keep them for up to three months. They can be reheated in an oven or microwave.

I made these for a women’s brunch and they turned out fantastic and I received many compliments on them. They are so easy to make and the recipe lends itself to many variations (I made these but also some vegetarian options). Thank you for the recipe and for the time you put in to test and make it just right. Delicious!!

I have to say, the texture turned out pretty great on these – great combo of cottage cheese and the water bath! They freeze and reheat *fairly* well, only a slight texture change. I think next time I’d make 16 bites because batter for 12 overfilled each cup and they puffed up and cracked/browned a bit too much during baking. I might also use silicone or line the tins because removal was really messy… or should I wait until they are fully cooled?! Anyways, room to play but this is a great template.

glad to hear they almost fit your standards! I personally use silicone liners for easy removal

I have made this recipe a few times now, this last time I skipped the steam portion just because I was short on time and they were still fluffy and delicious. 10/10. These literally last 2-3 mornings in my house.

Can these be reheated in the microwave from the refrigerator? How long to microwave? I want to make these for a meal train I’m doing.
Reply
Madeline says
Hi Karen! Yes, these can be reheated in the microwave. Start with 30 seconds and then add more time if needed.

I’ve been making these weekly for awhile now and they are a major hit every time. My “filling” is whatever I happen to have on hand that week but they are consistently delicious. I think the key is to not overfill the muffin tin with filling/cheese. I even used sour cream once because I didn’t have cottage cheese and that was yummy too! I reduce the salt by half for our personal taste. Thanks for a great recipe, it’s a keeper in our house.
