Copycat Starbucks Egg White Bites

Love the Starbucks egg white & roasted red pepper bites but sick of the price tag? This easy homemade recipe saves you money, tastes even better, and is shockingly easy to prep.

With only seven ingredients, a blender, and less than 30 minutes, you’ll have this tasty high-protein breakfast prepped for the entire week. Did I mention my recipe skips the water bath and “sous vide” method too? You’ll still get the same perfect texture as Starbucks, but without the fuss.

Key Ingredients And Swaps

• Cottage cheese: Cottage cheese adds some extra protein, but it’s also important to achieve that perfectly soft texture Starbucks is known for. I recommend using 2% or higher milk-fat for the best results. Explore more cottage cheese recipes.
• Monterey jack: Any shredded cheese works, including cheddar, gouda, and mozzarella.
• Roasted red peppers: Opt for roasted red peppers already prepared in a jar. Just make sure to pat them dry before dicing — any excess moisture can lead to soggy egg bites that don’t set.
• Corn starch: This is super important to get the right texture, so don’t skip it.
• Hot sauce: The egg bites aren’t spicy, this just adds a little acidity and tang. I prefer Frank’s red hot.

How To Store And Re-Heat

Let your egg bites cool completely to room temperature, then transfer to a sealed food container or bag.

Keep them refrigerated for up to four days. My favorite way to re-heat them is in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes at 350 F, or until heated through. You can also microwave for 30-45 seconds.

More Mix-Ins

Feel free to add more mix-ins to make these egg bites your own! Here are some ideas:

• Veggies: add diced bell pepper, fresh jalapeno, baby spinach (maximum 1/4 cup chopped), broccoli, zucchini, or cauliflower.
• Cheese: swap Monterey jack for cheddar, gouda, or mozzarella, or add a sprinkle of feta or goat’s cheese to the egg cups in addition.
• Meat: add cooked ground sausage, diced bacon, or diced turkey bacon.

Don’t add more than 1/2 cup total of your mix-ins, or your egg bites won’t set. Be especially cautious adding extra vegetables, since they will release extra moisture in cooking. And be sure to chop everything nice and small!
