What is in Starbucks Egg White Bites?

Starbucks Egg White Bites are loaded with ingredients that we can’t even pronounce. That is why I knew I had to make this copycat recipe simple. The ingredients we use include egg white, cheese, cottage cheese and simple seasoning and they taste amazing.

Red Peppers, green onions, and chopped spinach adds flavor and color to the egg white bites. You can easily change these ingredients and add in diced ham or bacon.

Ingredients

• Egg Whites – We usually buy a carton of egg whites instead of cracking a bunch of eggs
• Cottage Cheese – Adds protein to the egg bites and creates a creamy texture
• Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese – Shred the cheese instead of using pre-shredded cheese

Flavor Variations

We love this simple copycat Starbucks Egg-White Bites Recipe but we also love that we can change it to what we have on hand.

• Add Meat – Add in diced ham, chopped bacon, or crumbled sausage for a hearty egg bite.
• Change the Cheese – Cheddar Cheese, Mozzarella Cheese, feta cheese, colby and pepperjack make great options. You can even use Gruyere to make Gruyere egg bites.
• Use Different Vegetables – Use what vegetables that you have on hand. Mushrooms, diced onions, green bell pepper, red bell pepper or chopped broccoli are great options.
• Hot Sauce – I like to add a little extra spice to my egg white bites so I drizzle with hot sauce. Hot sauce gives it so much flavor and spice.
• Sous Vide Egg Bites – It is not necessary to make sous vide egg bites, but you can with this recipe.
• Fresh Herbs – For even more flavor you can change the seasoning or add in garlic powder or other spices you prefer.

How to Make Starbucks Egg White Bites

• Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12 cup muffin tray generously with a non-stick cooking spray. I like to place the muffin pan on a baking dish or baking sheet lined with parchment paper in case the egg bites spill over while cooking.
• Step 2 – Combine the egg whites, cottage cheese, salt and pepper together in a blender.  Blend until smooth.
• Step 3 – Then pour into a bowl and stir in the shredded Monterey Jack cheese, roasted red pepper, fresh spinach and green onions.  
• Step 4 – Pour this mixture evenly into the greased muffin tins.  Fill each tin approximately ¾ of the way full as the eggs will rise as they cook.
• Step 5 – Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are set (not jiggly).  
• Step 6 – Remove the pan from the oven and let the egg bites rest for 5-10 minutes.  Gently remove the egg bites from the pan with a spoon and then they are ready to serve and enjoy!

Recipe Tips

• Muffin Pan – We recommend spraying the muffin cups completely for ease of removing the egg bites. We like using a silicone mold to pour the egg mixture in.
• Fill Muffin Cups – Evenly fill the muffin cups with the egg mixture. The egg mixture will rise as it cooks.
• Bake Egg Bites – Cooking times will vary so bake until egg has set. Do not overcook the egg bites.
• Meal Prep – These are the perfect breakfast to meal prep with. You can store in the refrigerator or in the freezer. They heat perfectly and are delicious.
• Liquid Egg Whites – We used liquid egg whites as it is easy to measure, but you can also crack an egg to use the egg white.

How to Know When Egg Bites are Fully Cooked?

You will know that the egg white bites are fully cooked when the edges are golden brown and the egg is set.

The center of the egg should not jiggle when you shake the pan. Allow the egg white bites to rest for about 5 minutes and then remove them from the pan.

What to Serve with Egg White Bites

• Fresh Fruit Salad – Delicious and easy to make fruit salad. Use what fruit is in season for amazing flavor.
• Bacon – Fry some bacon or buy already cooked bacon to reheat.
• Sausage Patties – Prepare sausage patties or buy already cooked sausage for an easy side.

Can you Freeze Starbucks Egg White Bites?

These copycat Starbucks egg bites are perfect to freeze and enjoy for a quick breakfast. Just place in a freezer bag or an freezer safe container. If stored properly, these egg bites will last up to 3 months.

When ready to serve, I suggest letting them thaw over night in the fridge and then reheating in the microwave for a really quick breakfast option. They reheat in the microwave for about 1 minute.

You can even make these to take while traveling. They are great for vacation and more.
