Baked Copycat Starbucks Egg Bites
Starbucks sous vide egg bites are a favorite breakfast treat. However, they tend to be a little pricey, so I found a way to bake them at home. Wanna try it?
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Cottage Cheese
- 1/4 cup Cream Cheese or 2 ounces
- 1/2 cup Half and Half
- 4 Eggs large
- 2 Egg whites
- 1/2 cup Colby Jack cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup Gruyere or Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 2 slices Prosciutto chopped or sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare ramekins by lightly coating with butter or pam. If using an 8X8 inch brownie pan, coat it with butter or pam as well.
- Blend cottage cheese, cream cheese and half & half together until smooth. Add eggs and blend till smooth.
- If prebaking prosciutto: place prosciutto pieces and cheese in the bottom of each ramekin. Pour egg mixture over prosciutto and cheese. If not prebaking the prosciutto: place pieces on top of the egg mixture. Place ramekin half full with water in the center of pan. This keeps them moist while baking.
- Bake in oven for 23-25 minutes for the ramikins, or 25-28 minutes if baking in an 8X8 inch brownie pan.
- Let stand about 5 mins.
Notes
Mixing these in the blender is best. A food processor doesn't add enough air to make them light and fluffy.
You can add any ingredients you like, such as bacon, chopped ham, spinach, or even jalapeños. Be creative with the cheeses as well. The egg bites will puff up like a soufflé while baking, but will set once they have cooled down. These will be good in the refrigerator for a week and can also be frozen. To heat a thawed egg bite: place in the microwave for about 30 -60 seconds. My ramekins are 3-1/2 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep. This mixture makes 9-10 egg bites.
