Are you obsessed with Starbucks' Egg Bites but wish they were a little easier on your wallet and gluten-free? Well, darling, grab your apron because you’re about to recreate that oh-so-popular Gluten Free Copycat Starbucks Egg Bites Recipe in your own kitchen. They’re creamy, cheesy, and packed with all the good stuff. Bonus: no need to queue up at the drive-thru anymore!
Why Make Your Own Gluten Free Copycat Starbucks Egg Bites?
Let’s be real – we love Starbucks, but at $5+ a pop, those little bites of heaven can start to add up. And if you’re gluten-free, the appeal is even stronger since finding quick, protein-packed, gluten-free snacks on the go can be tricky. But making them at home? Easy, peasy, and you'll get to throw in a cheeky pinch of smoked paprika for good measure.
Plus, they’re incredibly versatile. Want bacon in there? Of course, you do. Spinach for a bit of green? Absolutely. Not to mention the Gruyère… because who doesn’t want to feel a little fancy while eating breakfast. If you're looking to stay on the high protein breakfast train then don't forget to chek out our veggie frittata recipe too. Or our absolute favorite fancy brunch dish, Shakshuka!
Make This Gluten Free Starbucks Egg Bites Copycat Recipe Even Simpler
If, like me, you want to eat these every day then you might want to make them ahead and freeze them. I use this electric egg maker which steam cooks them to perfection, then cool them and freeze in Ziploc Bags. I heat them up again in my airfryer.
Ingredients:
6 large eggs
1/2 cup cottage cheese (for that silky texture, darling)
1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (because we’re fancy like that)
1/4 cup cooked bacon bits or ham (optional, but who doesn’t love a bit of bacon?)
1/4 cup baby spinach, chopped
1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
Salt and pepper to taste
A pinch of smoked paprika (for a cheeky twist)
Olive oil spray for greasing your muffin tin or silicone moulds
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 300°F. Yes, it’s a bit lower than you might expect, but we’re going for that soft, creamy Starbucks vibe!
In a blender, whizz together the eggs, cottage cheese, and Gruyère until smooth and frothy. This is where the magic happens, folks!
Grease a muffin tin or silicone moulds with olive oil spray. You want these bites to slide out as smoothly as you’ll be eating them.
Divide the bacon (if using), spinach, and bell pepper evenly between the muffin cups.
Pour the egg mixture over the toppings, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Sprinkle a bit of smoked paprika over the top for that extra kick.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are just set and slightly golden. Don’t worry if they puff up—they’ll settle down once cooled.
Let them cool for a few minutes before popping them out and tucking in. These little beauties are perfect for meal prep, so make a batch and enjoy all week long!
There you have it! Gluten-Free Copycat Starbucks Egg Bites with a cheeky twist—smoked paprika, because why not? Whether you’re looking to save some cash or just want a make-ahead breakfast option, these little bites are sure to become your new favorite!
