Red Pepper Egg Bites (Starbucks Copycat Egg White Bites)
These roasted red pepper egg bites are flavorful, cheesy, and a copycat of your fave Starbucks egg white bites. They're high protein and great for meal prep.
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 2 cups egg whites (or a 16 ounce container)
- 3/4 cup full fat cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (see notes)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup roasted red bell pepper patted very dry and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup spinach finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons green onion sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 12-tin muffin pan by spraying with oil or use a silicone muffin pan (what I recommend for the easiest removal).
- Add egg whites, cottage cheese, monterey jack and feta cheeses, hot sauce, cornstarch, salt and pepper to a blender. Blend on high speed for 30 seconds.
- Add veggies evenly to the bottom of each muffin tin. The spinach tends to float to the top, so I recommend layering them in this order: spinach, green onions, roasted red peppers.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into muffin tins on top of the veggies.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes. Allow to cool in muffin tins for 10-15 minutes before removing and storing in an airtight container.
Notes
- Use cornstarch, if possible. It can be omitted if you don't have it or don't want to use it, but it keeps them from getting super watery and the texture is significantly better.
- Be careful not to overfill the muffin tins. I recommend sticking to filling 1/2-2/3 of the way. If they're overfilled they tend to puff up out of the muffin pan and cook unevenly.
- Use a silicone muffin pan. This helps prevent sticking and makes it easier to remove the egg bites cleanly.
- Customize the mix-ins. Swap the red peppers for mushrooms or other vegetables depending on what you have on hand.
