Egg White Bites

This handheld meal prep breakfast will make getting your morning protein in that much easier. Delicious and satisfying, these DIY Starbucks Egg White bites are a staple in my house.

Our original DYI Starbucks Egg Bites recipe was one of our most made recipes on the blog.I was receiving a ton of messages from people asking for the Starbucks Egg White and Red Pepper Recipe, so I had to make it happen! And here it is! Lighter but just as tasty as the original. Same process, just a couple small adjustments.

Updated recipe!

I have spent a lot of time playing with this recipe to make it perfect and I think I am there. Egg whites act differently than whole eggs in how they cook, which resulted in me having to make some adjustments with cooking time and how the mixture is combined. The result is a much more consistent and delicious outcome.

Let’s Breakdown the Ingredients!

As simple as this recipe is to make at home, there is a use of one particular ingredient that is very versatile in recipes: cottage cheese. 

Cottage cheese lends a tangy flavour, tons of moisture, tender texture and lots of protein to recipes. Adding cottage cheese into any recipe will help with not only the texture but helps to make it extra fluffy, which is a key part of making these Starbucks DIY egg white bites.

Tips for Nailing these egg white bites.

1. When making these egg bites, it is important to use full-fat cottage cheese to add structure to ensure they don’t collapse.
2. When blending up the egg white mixture, it is important to not blend at high speed to avoid incorporating too much air into the mixture, which will cause them to deflate. Start by blending the cottage cheese and mozzarella together before adding in the egg whites. This incorporates less air, while at the same time combining the cheeses.
3. When baking, using Silicone Mini Muffin Pan is crucial to this recipe. It makes cleaning and demolding the egg bites easier.
4. Only fill the muffin tins 3/4 of the way to the top.
5. Use a 13-inch baking pan and fill it up with water to create a humid environment in the oven for the egg bites to bake.

This is your chance to get creative! You can add spinach and red pepper, bacon and cheese, sausage and roasted garlic – basically any ingredient you love.
