Description
At its core, this recipe is a protein-forward breakfast dish designed to mimic the sous-vide style egg snacks popularized by major coffee chains. Unlike a traditional baked egg muffin which can often turn out rubbery or dry, these bites are defined by their moisture content and airy structure.
Ingredients
1 ¾ cups egg whites (about 8 large egg whites)
½ cup low-fat cottage cheese
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1–2 tablespoons chopped chives
¼ teaspoon salt
â…› teaspoon black pepper
Optional: pinch of garlic powder or onion powder
Instructions
Blend until smooth
Add egg whites, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and any optional seasoning to a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy (this is the secret to the Starbucks texture).Stir in cheese & chives
Pour mixture into a bowl and gently stir in Monterey Jack, Parmesan, and chives.Fill molds
Lightly grease your molds. Fill each about ¾ full.Cook
Steamer (best match): Steam for 15–18 minutes until just set.
Oven method: Place molds in a baking dish, add hot water halfway up the sides, and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 20–25 minutes.
Cool slightly & remove
Let rest 5 minutes, then pop them out.
Notes
These egg white bites are perfect for meal prep and taste just like the Starbucks version! For the creamiest texture, be sure to blend the egg whites and cottage cheese until completely smooth. They store well in the fridge or freezer and reheat quickly for an easy, protein-packed breakfast on busy mornings.
