What You Will ❤️ About Egg White Bites
- Fast! These egg bites are a quick breakfast that is perfect for those busy mornings. Meal prep on Sunday and have breakfast all week!
- Cheesy! You might not realize, these copycat egg bites have two kinds of cheese in them!
- More veggies! The in-store version is pretty skimpy on the veggies and cheese – but making them at home – pack them full!
- Less Money! These egg bites are so much cheaper when you make them at home! You can make 6 jumbo bites for almost the same price as 2 tiny ones!
Copycat Starbucks Egg Bites Recipe Ingredients
This copycat recipe pulls the simple ingredients straight from the Starbucks website! I’ll provide substitutions for this delicious breakfast if you need them.
- Egg Whites – you can use whole eggs but these are the most low-cal version because they only use egg whites.
- You can also use liquid egg whites that come in a carton.
- You need 1.5 cups of egg whites – which takes 12 whole eggs (separated) – or the carton version
- Cottage Cheese – I used low-fat cottage cheese (2%)
- Hot Sauce – add more if you like a little spicy
- Coarse Sea Salt
- Monterey Jack Cheese & Feta Cheese – these are in the Starbucks version but use your favorite cheese. The egg whites are fairly bland so cheese like Co-Jack, Mozzarella or Cream cheese would work well.
- Roasted Red Pepper – you can roast a red bell pepper in the oven but I just bought a jar of roasted red peppers and diced them up very finely
- Fresh Spinach – you only need 1/4 cup, kale would work as well
- Green Onions – this really added a nice crunch in the egg bites!
How to Make Egg White & Roasted Red Pepper Egg Bites
There’s no need for fancy equipment like a sous vide cooker or silicone molds when you make egg bite recipes at home. Grab your blender and a muffin tin and you’re ready to make this easy breakfast recipe.
- Recipe makes 6 large egg bites, you can easily double or triple the recipe.
- Pre-heat oven to 300º and place a baking dish that is filled with 2″ water on the bottom rack. This will create a humid environment and help the eggs cook evenly and make them light & fluffy like Starbucks!
- While oven is preheating, grate jack cheese and dice veggies.
- In a blender, add egg whites, cottage cheese, hot sauce and salt. Blend on high for 30 seconds until light and frothy.
- Pour egg mixture into a large bowl and add jack cheese, red pepper, spinach, green onion and feta. Stir until combined.
- Spray a jumbo muffin tin with a little non-stick spray. Using a scoop-style measuring cup, fill the muffin cups with the egg mixture. I used a “texas sized” muffin pan and they were approx half full
- Bake in the oven for 25-27 minutes, or until the center of the egg bites are just set.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then use a spatula, carefully remove them from the muffin tin. Enjoy

Tips, Tricks & FAQs
The Egg White & Roasted Red Pepper have 170 calories for 2. I used a jumbo muffin pan so they’re a little more – but you could use a regular muffin tin for something about the same size as Starbucks sous vide egg bites.
Yes – my friend Tasty Traveler has an egg bite recipe with Instant Pot instructions!
Heck no – no need for those silicone egg bite molds! You can use a muffin tin and get the same results. The water in the oven helps them steam and get juicy like the Sous Vide machine does.
Nope! I found just as much success by placing another pan with 2″ water in the oven while it preheats. This creates a steamy oven that keeps the egg bites moist.
This is the perfect make ahead breakfast! Make up a batch of this easy egg bite recipe ahead of time and enjoy all week. Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate up to a week – or freeze up to three months. Reheat in the microwave for 1 minute.
Recipe Variations
- Whole Eggs – not a fan of just egg whites, use whole eggs
- Protein – you can always add crispy bacon bits or diced ham
- Greek Yogurt – don’t have cottage cheese, swap with Greek yogurt or Sour Cream
- Cheese – swap the Jack and Feta with Mozzarella, Provolone, Ricotta cheese, Swiss Cheese or a mild cheddar cheese
