- Add cottage cheese, gruyere cheese, cornstarch and salt to a blender, blending on high until well combined and creamy. Add eggs then blend until just combined.
- Grease a 12-count metal muffin tray with cooking spray, then add overtop of a 9x13 baking sheet. Divide bacon among muffin tin cups, then divide egg filling among the cups.

Oh Starbucks egg bites, why are you so hard to replicate?! 🤣 I've tested these babies SEVEN TIMES since 2018 and I think I've finally nailed the right texture.
If you can't stop ordering these at Starbs, my version will hopefully help save you some dough!
Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Perfect copycat: They taste just like the kind you'd get at Starbucks, without the high price tag.
- No special equipment required: They're baked in the oven, so you don't need a sous vide machine!
Ingredients and substitutions
- Cooking spray – you could also grease the pan with butter or margarine.
- Bacon – use turkey bacon for a lower-calorie option.
- Eggs – fresh eggs are best but you can try using carton eggs instead.
- Cottage cheese – you can try using cream cheese but your bites won't have the same texture.
- Gruyere cheese – swap out for another cheese of your choice like gouda, cheddar or Swiss.
- Cornstarch – potato starch or a bit of flour can be used instead.
