Why you’ll love these Starbucks egg white bites

  • Makes a great grab-and-go snack or breakfast. Egg white bites can easily be packed and enjoyed on the way to work, at the office, or during outdoor activities with your kids, making them a convenient option for busy mornings.
  • Meal prep friendly. You can make a batch on the weekend and refrigerate or freeze them for later use.
  • No special equipment needed. Starbucks makes their egg white bites by using a sous vide which is a method of cooking food by vacuum-sealing and immersing in warm water. We can mimic that technique by placing silicone cups in a hot tray of water in the oven.
  • Packed with flavor and nutrition. Due to the cottage cheese and egg whites, you’re looking at a double-protein packed egg breakfast that tastes amazing and keeps you full. The addition of roasted red peppers and feta takes things to the next level!

Ingredients to make egg white bites

  • Egg whites: Provides the base and structure of the egg bites. Egg whites have a mild flavor and fluffy, light texture when cooked, giving these egg bites an airy consistency.
  • Mozzarella cheese: Adds a creamy texture and savory taste, enhancing the overall flavor.
  • Cottage cheese: Not only does cottage cheese pack in a lot of protein, but it also adds moisture and creaminess and gives a hint of tanginess that complements the other ingredients.
  • Crumbled feta cheese: Adds salty and tangy flavor to the egg white bites. It has a wonderful crumbly texture, contrasting with the softness of the other ingredients.
  • Roasted red pepper: Brings in a smoky and slightly sweet flavor, adding a pop of color and tender texture, creating a pleasant contrast with the creaminess of the cheeses and egg whites.
  • Spinach: Spinach adds a fresh and earthy taste. When cooked, spinach wilts, adding a slightly chewy texture.
  • Salt and black pepper: Salt enhances the overall flavor, while pepper adds a subtle touch of heat and depth.
Ingredients for recipe: cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, roasted red pepper, salt and pepper, egg whites, spinach, and ricotta.

How to make egg white bites With Red Pepper

Blend the egg white and cheese mixture

  1. To a blender, add the egg whites, mozzarella cheese, cottage cheese, and feta cheese.
  2. Blend until smooth and bubbly.

Bake egg white muffins

  1. Divide the pepper and spinach into each of the silicone cups.
  2. Pour the egg white mixture on top, filling them close to the top. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Pour boiling water into the baking sheet.
  4. Bake until the top of the egg whites are firm to the touch.

Tips for making the best red pepper egg white bites

  1. Use liquid egg whites for ease and convenience. You’ll need a 16-ounce container of liquid egg whites for this recipe, which is approximately equal to the egg whites of 15 shelled eggs.
  2. Grease the cups well. To avoid the egg bites sticking to the muffin pan or silicone liner, generously coat the pans well with non-stick spray.
  3. Let them cool slightly before removing them. Give the egg white bites a few minutes to cool in the molds before popping them out. This helps them to firm up slightly and prevents them from breaking apart.
  4. Use frozen spinach if that’s all you have. Thaw frozen spinach and squeeze as much moisture out as possible so the bites cook properly.
  5. Avoid overfilling the muffin cups. Fill them about three-fourths of the way full because the eggs will expand as they bake, so leave a little room at the top so they don’t overflow in your oven.
  • Make a meat version: If you prefer higher protein bites, add cooked and crumbled ground turkey, beef, or chicken. You can also add diced turkey deli meat for an easy protein boost.
  • Bump up the veggies: These egg white bites are excellent for using up odds and ends in your fridge. I recommend avoiding vegetables high in water content, like mushrooms and zucchini, or sautee them first in a skillet to remove some moisture.
  • Make it spicy: Kick up the heat with diced jalapeno peppers, a pinch of red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of sriracha in the egg white mixture.
  • Throw in all the garnish: Amp up the flavor by adding fresh herbs like cilantro, dill, parsley, or green onions into the egg mixture.
  • Use your favorite cheeses: If you’re out of mozzarella and feta cheese, try cheddar cheese and Swiss cheese, for a different flavor profile.

How to store & reheat egg white bites

Store these copycat Starbucks egg white bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, reheat them in the microwave for 15 seconds or until warmed through.

How long will egg white bites last in the fridge?

Egg white bites will last in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Can I freeze Starbucks egg white bites?

Yes! These bites are a great meal prep idea. Individually wrap each bite with plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. Wrapping them individually helps prevent them from sticking together. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or reheat them in the microwave for 45 seconds.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use whole eggs instead of just egg whites?

Yes! You can certainly use whole eggs. However, remember that using whole eggs instead of just egg whites will result in a slightly different texture and flavor. To make 12 egg bites, you would need 8 whole eggs.

I don’t have silicone cups. Can I use a muffin pan?

Silicone muffin pan or individual silicone cups makes removing egg white bites so effortless. You can still make them in a muffin pan, but you have to grease the pan incredibly well, and you may need to run a butter knife after they bake to loosen the edges.

Can I make mini-egg white bites?

Absolutely! Use mini muffin tins or silicone molds to create smaller portions of the egg white bites. Adjust the baking time accordingly since they will cook faster. But they will make a wonderful addition to a brunch lineup.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 16-ounce carton egg whites
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup whole milk cottage cheese
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup finely diced roasted red pepper
  • ¼ cup finely chopped spinach
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray
  • Boiling water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Place a silicone 12-cup muffin tray on a baking sheet and coat with non-stick spray.
  • In a blender add the egg whites, mozzarella cheese, cottage cheese and feta cheese and blend until smooth and bubbly, about 30 seconds.
  • Divide the pepper and spinach into each of the silicone cups. Divide the egg white mixture on top, filling them close to the top, and season with salt and black pepper.
  • Place the baking sheet in the middle rack of the oven. Pour boiling water into the baking sheet about half of the way full up to the silicone liners.
  • Bake until the top of the egg whites are firm to the touch, 30-35 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing the silicone mold.

Notes

Storage: Store egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, reheat them in the microwave for 15 seconds or until warmed through. 
To freeze: You can also freeze individually wrapped egg white bites, in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight or in the microwave.
Tips:
  • Grease the muffin cups well to prevent the egg bites from sticking.
  • Let them cool slightly before removing them to allow them to firm up.
  • If using frozen spinach, thaw first then squeeze as much moisture as possible so the bites cook properly.
  • Avoid overfilling the muffin cups. Fill them two-thirds of the way so there is room for them to expand as they cook.

    These eggbites are so soft and delicious! They are my favorites breakfast/ quick lunch/dinner now. Thank you for sharing your recipe!!

    1. Yumna says:

      Of course, so glad these have become part of your morning routine!

  2. Emma says:

    Hi! These egg bites turned out great but I have a question. How many egg bites are in a serving? I made your 1x recipe and got 12 egg bites out of it but the recipe says it is 6 servings. So, does that mean 1 serving is 2 egg bites or is the 1x recipe only supposed to make 6 egg bites? Thank you!

    1. Yumna says:

      Hi there, the serving size is 2 egg bites.

  3. SALI says:

    Made these for the first time and omg! Really tasty and quick and easy to make! Will be adding them to my weekly meal prep rotation! The only change I made was replaced half the mozza with half sharp cheddar. Highly recommend!

    1. Yumna says:

      Thanks so much!

  4. Amira says:

    If we deduce the cheese ingredients, would that change the cooking time?

  5. Jess says:

    I made these for meal prep this week and they are SO good! I made mine with 12 eggs, and included the yolks of 4 of them. I just made sure the weight came out the same as a 16 oz container of egg whites. I didn’t have the cheeses in the recipe, so I used gouda and parmesan, and I added a few strips of low sodium bacon. Thank you for the recipe!!!

    1. Yumna Jawad says:

      I’m so glad to hear that you tried it and enjoyed them – so perfect for meal prep!!

  6. Barbara says:

    These look perfect! Is two per person is a serving?
    Can’t wait to try them!

  7. Krisha says:

    This is my 10th time making this recipe and they come out so light and fluffy. I work at a school and brought these in one day- they were gone before I knew it and then I had several requests for the recipe. Even better than the real thing because you can customize by adding whatever veggies you have and mix it up!

    1. Yumna J. says:

      So glad you liked them, Krisha!

  8. Sabeen says:

    Can we use a whole egg, rather than only egg whites?

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Sure!

  9. Caroline says:

    Loved these! I added a little Parmesan too.

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Yum!

  10. Ashley Foster says:

    I’ve been meaning to make Copy Starbucks egg bites forever! I was skeptical but OMG these are perfect! I added mushrooms as well and love them!

    1. Yumna J. says:
