Starbucks Egg Bites
Equipment
- 12-cup muffin tin
- Blender or food processor
- Large baking dish
- Measuring cups
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese full-fat
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese freshly grated
- 6 strips bacon cooked and crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons butter for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Generously butter a 12-cup muffin tin, making sure to coat all surfaces thoroughly.
- Cook bacon until crispy, then drain on paper towels and crumble into small pieces. Set aside.
- In a blender or food processor, combine eggs, cottage cheese, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Blend for 60 seconds until completely smooth and frothy.
- Divide the crumbled bacon evenly among the muffin cups. Top with grated cheddar cheese and chopped chives.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bacon and cheese, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin inside a larger baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the muffin tin.
- Carefully transfer to the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before gently removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm.
