Nonna’s Tip
The oven must be preheated, and the water must be boiling hot. Do not open the oven at all for at least 25 minutes so you can let everything steam and get creamy. My oven is super slow. Therefore, my egg bites took 30 minutes.
Variations and Substitutions
These delicious and low-fat egg bites are so customizable! Don’t forget to let me know in the comments which variations you try.
- Add some breakfast meat like ham or 🥓 bacon to your egg bites.
- Instead of bell peppers, try another combination of vegetables like tomatoes and basil or kale and mushrooms.
- Feel free to leave out the cheese or use a dairy-free equivalent instead.
- Give your egg bites a spicy kick 🌶️ with some red pepper flakes and Monterey jack cheese.
- Feel free to add in herbs like dill, rosemary, or thyme to customize how your egg bites are flavored.

Copycat Starbucks Egg-White Bites
Ingredients
- ½ cup egg whites
- 1 pinch salt
- ⅓ cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese, or any you like
- 1 small bell pepper, finely diced
- ½ cup spinach, finely chopped, to taste
- boiling hot water, boiled mine on the stove
- avocado oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. In a blender add the eggs, salt, cottage cheese, the mozzarella cheese and blend for 20-30 seconds. Add the silicone muffin tin on top of a baking sheet and spray down your muffin tin. Mine is silicone and mess-free but you can use any.
- Add the bell peppers and the spinach to the bottom of every muffin cup and add your egg mixture 1/2-3/4 of the way. I like to give it a gentle stir with a chopstick but it’s optional.
- Carefully place the baking dish with the muffin tin on top in the oven on a lower rack. Add boiling hot water up to the 1/2 way mark of the baking tray.
- Close the door and bake until set for at least 25 minutes without opening it. Mine took exactly 30 minutes but keep an eye on it. Let them rest for 5 minutes and enjoy.
- These can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and microwaved if needed. You can also let them cool and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. Defrost in the fridge and heat in the microwave if you are freezing them. Enjoy.

So good and a true copycat! I substituted the cottage cheese with high fat Greek yogurt and added water to match the consistency of cottage cheese. I did half mozzarella and half Gouda. I also used the whole egg instead of the egg whites. Also, I used silicone muffin liners and they worked great. Great recipe!
That sounds so delicious, Alison!! LOVE it!! Thank you for sharing. What a great version. Appreciate your review! ❤️
How many egg bites are in a serving?
Hi Lorie what do you mean? This recipe makes 9 egg bites.
How many does this recipe make? Helps when calculating cooking time. I made 6 with mine but your plate has 8
Hi Ruth that will depend on how much you fill them. Mine made eight because I don’t fill them as much. It will also depend on the size of the egg.
Hi,
I can’t see what you put the muffin pan into. Where does the water sit?
You put the muffin tray on top of a baking dish and fill the baking dish with hot water
A half a cup of egg whites is all you need for 9 egg bites???
Yes, you don’t fill them all the way 🙂
Love love love! Thank you! Any suggestions for decreasing the water content when re-heating?
Hiii, I like reheating mine in a pan on the stove which should be better for moisture.
These are seriously delicious!! So much flavor. I cooked my peppers and onions before I added them because that’s what I prefer! I just used a regular non stick muffin tin and sprayed it pretty good with Pam and they came out super easy. This will be a weekly recipe for a quick breakfast on the go!
Hi Abigail, so happy to hear that hun 🙂
Do u have an estimate of the calories per unit of your recipee?
Hi Juan, yes we are just working on that and it should be fixed this week with the nutrition info 🙂
Can I use
A regular tin muffin pan instead of the silicone? Thank you.
You can but mine always stick 🙁
