This copycat Starbucks egg white bites recipe is a must-try. You’ll be surprised how easy it is to recreate these protein-packed bites at home, saving money while enjoying the same great taste. Say goodbye to long drive-thru lines and hello to homemade goodness!

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.

How to make egg white bites With Red Pepper

You will be surprised how quickly these egg white bites come together. With just a handful of ingredients and minimal hands-on time, you can enjoy homemade copycat Starbucks egg white bites without leaving the house!

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.

Popular substitutions & additions

• 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.

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.
