Steps To Make Starbucks Egg Bites
1. Mix It All Up And Bake
Firstly, as these egg bites are baked in the oven, you need to preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, spray the muffin tin with cooking spray to ensure the egg bites don’t stick.
Mix the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, and whisk thoroughly. The more you whisk, the fluffier the egg bites will be! Then, fold in the Swiss Cheese.
Add the mix to the muffin tins until ¾ of the cup is full with the egg mixture. This way, there will be some room left for the egg bites to expand while baking. Then, top each bite with some of the crumbled bacon and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Once done, take them out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before digging in1
