Keys to Making Easy High Protein Copy Cat Starbucks Egg Bites

Now that we have addressed the problems that unfortunately happen when we make egg bites at home, how do we fix them? It all comes down to two things.

1. The ingredients
2. Method you use when prepping the batter

Both of those go hand in hand so lets see exactly what we need to do.

Problem: Eggs become deflated after sitting out

Solution: It is so infuriating when you’d make egg bites to just have them become very flattened & suspect after sitting out. That is where this tip comes in that will have you singing halleluiah after you try it! Fill a rimmed baking sheet with roughly 1/4-inch of water and then place pan on the bottom rack of your oven WHILE the oven is preheating. This will create moisture in the oven that will prevent your egg bites from being too puffy & shriveled at the end. They will still naturally deflate the tiniest bit but no where near the usual!

Problem: Questionable texture after the egg bites cool

Solution: When you apply heat to an egg to cook it you are changing the structure of the proteins inside it. Which makes the proteins uncoil inside and come together. Therefore our batter is MORE than just eggs, the little bit of half & half, as well as Greek yogurt gives it the right moisture, and smooth texture after being blended well.

Problem: Reheating eggs the next day makes them dry out

Solution: The same thing that helps the texture when they cool also is what helps them not dry out, the combination with the half & half PLUS the Greek yogurt gives the blended mixture the right moisture.

Different Flavor Combinations to add into the above

Sausage Egg and Cheese

After you prepare the mixture above you will pour into your greased muffin tins then slice up 8 already cooked breakfast sausage links and sprinkle them on top of each egg cup & bake as normal

Bacon Egg and Gruyere Cheese

You will ad in 1/2 cup or the whole cup of cheese for this recipe as Gruyere shredded cheese. Blend as normal. After, break apart 6 already cooked bacon, and sprinkle it on top, pressing it into the tops of the mixture slightly then bake as normal.

Mediterranean Veggie:

This is my personal favorite. Cut up 1/4 cup of very tiny bite sized zucchini, red pepper, spinach & red onion. Toss veggies in a bowl to mix well. In the original mixture only do 3/4 cup of shredded cheese, blend mixture as normal, pour into greased muffin dish. Then sprinkle the veggie mixture onto each egg cup, pressing down into the egg. Sprinkle the eggs on top with crumbled feta & bake as normal.

Plain Jane (Ainsley’s favorite)

It is just what it sounds like hahah the combination above and that’s it. Ainsley just loves egg & cheese. Also if you did crumble few pieces of bacon on top she will go for it lol. These will be the least thick of them all because there is no other ingredients.

What Tools Do I Need to Make Easy High Protein Copy Cat Starbucks Egg Bites

You don’t need much to make these egg bites, but the following:

High Powered Blender: I know this can be such a high ticket item, however I CANNOT say enough about this blender. I have had mine for over 6 years now and it still works amazing! Well worth every penny.

Muffin Tin : This recipe makes 12 egg bites, so finding a good quality non stick muffin tin is important

optional: silicone muffin liners ( I don’t like to use these because depending on the kind you get they can be finicky to get out of the liners without sticking. I just like to grease the pan really well.
