Egg White Bites with Roasted Red Pepper (Starbucks, But Better)

Starbucks egg bites are delicious. And expensive. Make them at home for a fraction of the cost. Fluffy, protein-packed, with sweet roasted red peppers and creamy cottage cheese. No fancy sous vide machine. Just a muffin tin and a water bath. Make a batch on Sunday. Eat all week. Let’s bake.

Ingredients

Makes 8-10 bites.

• 8 large egg whites (or 1 cup liquid egg whites)
• ½ cup cottage cheese
• ½ cup roasted red peppers, finely chopped
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives or parsley, chopped
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a muffin tin (silicone works best).

Step 2: Blend the Base

1. In a blender, combine egg whites, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Blend until smooth and frothy.

Step 3: Add Mix-Ins

1. Stir in roasted red peppers, Parmesan, and chives by hand.

Step 4: Fill and Bake (Water Bath)

1. Pour mixture into muffin cups, filling ¾ full.
2. Place muffin tin in a larger baking pan. Fill outer pan with hot water (1 inch deep).
3. Bake 20-25 minutes until set and slightly golden.

Step 5: Cool and Store

1. Let cool 5 minutes. Remove from tin.
2. Eat warm or refrigerate. Reheat 30 seconds in microwave.

Storage Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 days. Freeze for 2 months. Reheat in microwave for 30 seconds or toaster oven. Swap roasted red peppers for spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or broccoli. Add cooked turkey sausage for extra protein. Water bath = creamy texture. Don’t skip it. These beat Starbucks every time. Make a double batch.
