Bacon Gruyere Egg Bites
Copycat Starbucks' bacon gruyere egg bites at home! With only 5-ingredients and a blender, you'll have the perfect protein-packed breakfast for meal prep.
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- ¾ cup cottage cheese, I use whole milk but 2% works too
- ¾ cup shredded gruyere and sharp cheddar (divided), I like a 1:1 ratio of both cheeses
- ½ tsp hot sauce, I use Frank's Red Hot
- 5 slices cooked bacon, chopped
Equipment
- silicone muffin liners (or use a silicone muffin pan)
Instructions
- Position oven rack to the middle and pre-heat to 350 F. Line a muffin pan with silicone liners and set aside.
- To a blender, add eggs, cottage cheese, ¼ cup shredded cheese, and hot sauce. Blend until completely smooth.
- Pour into prepared muffin pan, filling each about 3/4 of the way to the top until all the egg mixture is used.
- Top with bacon and remaining shredded cheese, distributing evenly amongst egg bites. Gently press them down into the egg bites if needed.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 18-23 minutes or until egg bites look completely set. They shouldn’t jiggle when you gently shake the pan.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-minutes in the pan. Remove the egg bites from the pan (but keep them in the silicone liners) and cool on a wire rack. You can eat them warm or wait for them to cool to room temperature.
Notes
- Depending on your hunger, a serving size is 2-3 egg bites.
- Let these cool to room temperature before storing in the fridge. They'll stay good for up to five days. Re-heat for 3-5 minutes in the air fryer at 350 F, or in the microwave for 45-seconds.
