Ingredients and substitutions

• Olive oil or butter – any neutral oil can be used, as well as any type of butter or margarine.
• Eggs – you can make these both with eggs or just egg whites. You may also use liquid egg whites or a vegan egg alternative, if desired.
• Cottage cheese – you may also use cream cheese instead. A dairy-free cream cheese can also work, too!
• Bacon – any type of bacon can be used. Cold cuts, such as ham, chicken, turkey, etc. can also work as a great substitution. This could be switched out with tempeh, if preferred. This may also be omitted and exchanged with spices like smoked paprika, BBQ seasoning, etc.
• Gruyere or aged cheddar cheese – store-bought, prepackaged, or hand shredded all work great. Any preferred sharp, shredded cheese can also be used.
• Roasted red peppers – store-bought or home-roasted both work well. You can also use any preferred veggies, like sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, etc.
• Spinach – any preferred leafy greens can be used, such as kale or swiss chards. This may also be omitted or substituted for different veggies.
• Monterey jack cheese – store-bought, prepackaged, or hand shredded all work great. Any preferred shredded cheese can also be used.

Nutrition in Starbucks vs. my version

In one egg bite, Starbucks' bacon and gruyere is made up of 160 calories, 10g of protein, 3g of carbs, and 12g of total fat. To compare nutritional values, my version has fewer calories, less carbs, and less total fat, plus almost double the amount of protein.

For the egg white and red pepper bites, Starbucks' has 85 calories, 8g of protein, 5.5g of carbs, and 4g of total fat in one. To compare, my version has more protein and less carbohydrates. Though both egg bite recipes are delicious, this homemade version is great if wanting something customizable, a great source of protein, and a bit of a healthier option.

Storing and reheating

To store, allow your egg bites to cool completely then store them in an airtight container. You can keep these in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. When ready to be eaten, you can enjoy them as they are or can reheat them in the microwave for 30 seconds or until hot.

Freezing egg bites

To freeze, allow them to cool completely once cooked. Place your egg bites in a freezer-safe container or into a freezer bag. These can be frozen and stored for up to 1-2 months. To thaw, put them in the fridge overnight. You can pack them up for lunch or can heat them up the next morning for a delicious breakfast. When ready to be eaten, heat them in the microwave for 30 seconds or until hot and enjoy!
