Make Starbucks-style bacon gruyere egg bites at home with this easy blender recipe. Enjoy a silky, custardy texture perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked, crumbled bacon
  • 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • Optional: chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or silicone egg bite molds.
  2. In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in the crumbled bacon and shredded Gruyere cheese into the blender mixture.
  4. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups or molds, filling each about two-thirds full.
  5. If using a muffin tin, place the tin inside a larger baking pan. Carefully pour hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the muffin cups (this is your water bath).
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the egg bites cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing them.
  8. Garnish with chives if desired.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, ensure your cottage cheese is well-blended with the eggs.
  • You can substitute Gruyere cheese with cheddar or Swiss cheese.
  • These egg bites are excellent for meal prep. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave or a toaster oven.
