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 full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked, crumbled bacon
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • Optional: chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or silicone egg bite molds. If using a muffin tin, place it inside a larger baking pan.
  2. In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, and pepper. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir the crumbled bacon and shredded Gruyere cheese into the blended egg 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, carefully pour hot water into the larger baking pan until it comes about halfway up the sides of the muffin cups. This creates a water bath for even cooking.
  6. Bake for 20-25 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 carefully removing them.
  8. Garnish with chives if desired.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, ensure your cottage cheese is full-fat.
  • You can substitute other cheeses like cheddar or Swiss for Gruyere.
  • Add cooked spinach or diced ham for variations.
  • Store cooled egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat gently in a microwave or toaster oven.
