This recipe replicates the creamy, custard-like Starbucks egg bites using a sous vide method for a quick, easy, and indulgent breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 strips cooked bacon, chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup milk or heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Butter or nonstick spray for greasing ramekins

Instructions

  1. Preheat your sous vide water bath to 172°F (78°C).
  2. Lightly grease each ramekin or silicone mold with butter or nonstick spray.
  3. Cook and chop the bacon if not already done.
  4. In a blender or food processor, combine eggs, cottage cheese, and milk or heavy cream. Blend until silky smooth, about 30 seconds.
  5. Pour the egg blend into a bowl and gently fold in shredded cheddar, cooked bacon bits, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if using.
  6. Pour the mixture into prepared ramekins, filling about 3/4 full.
  7. Place each ramekin inside a vacuum-sealable bag or zip-top freezer bag using the water displacement method to remove air.
  8. Cook sous vide for 60 minutes, ensuring bags are fully submerged but not touching container sides or bottom.
  9. Remove bags from water bath, take out ramekins, let cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days.
  10. Serve warm or cold. To reheat, microwave for about 30 seconds or warm gently in a steamer.

Notes

Blending eggs and cottage cheese until smooth is crucial for creamy texture. Use water displacement method if no vacuum sealer is available. Cooking time can be adjusted by 5-10 minutes for desired firmness. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. Variations include vegetarian options, cheese swaps, and dairy-free alternatives.
