COPYCAT STARBUCKS EGG BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 6 or more cups in a regular-sized muffin tin generously with nonstick spray.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Then whisk in the cheese, cottage cheese, salt and pepper. Alternately (suggested from readers), you can combine the eggs and cottage cheese in the blender, and then stir in the cheese, salt and pepper. This results in a fluffier texture without the cottage cheese being visually present.
• Pour the mixture into the muffin tins- filling each about ½-full to leave room for the egg to expand while baking. Top with bacon bits.
• Bake 30 minutes, or until the eggs are completely cooked. Remove from the oven, take out of the tin and serve warm.

Steps:

• Make filling:.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, gruyere, Monterey jack, bacon, hot sauce and salt.
• Form Eggs:.
• Using a very small bowl (a custard cup, or a 5 oz ramekin will work well), press a 10- inch square of plastic wrap into the bowl, so the wrap is fully adhered to the sides of the bowl. There should be about 2 inches of plastic wrap left hanging over the edges of the bowl. Spray the plastic wrap in the bowl as well as the overhang, liberally with nonstick spray. Spoon the egg filling into the bowl, leaving 1/8'' at the top. Form an air-tight bundle around the eggs; lift the sides of the plastic wrap on all sides just enough to twist the plastic wrap so that it encloses the egg. There should be no air in the bundle. Tie tightly with kitchen string, or a length of plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining filling, remembering to spray the plastic wrap each time.
• Cook Eggs:.
• In a large pot, bring 6 inches of water to a simmer (185 - 200°F.) There should be tiny bubbles rising to the surface; carefully drop all the egg parcels into the simmering water, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, the centers should be completely set. Remove the egg parcels from the water with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels. Let sit for a minute until cool enough to handle. Using sharp scissors, cut the parcels directly under the kitchen twine; peel away the plastic wrap, the egg bites are ready to serve.

COPYCAT STARBUCKS EGG BITES - BACON & GRUYERE

Steps:

• Recipe makes 6 egg bites, you can easily double or triple the recipe.
• Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees F and place a baking dish that is filled with 1-2" 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, cook bacon however you would normally make it. I use my air fryer for 10 minutes at 350. I like to undercook it a little for this recipe so it's NOT crispy. Once cooked, pat grease off with paper towel and roughly chop.
• Grate gruyere and monterrey jack but save back 1/4 cup of grated cheese (all one, mix of two - whatever)
• Add the eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, hot sauce, parsley, salt and pepper to a blender and blend on high for 30 seconds until light and frothy.
• Spray a muffin tin with a little non-stick spray and fill the tins with the egg mixture. add in bacon and remaining cheese and split between the tins. 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!
