How to Make Starbucks Egg Bites
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup (220 g) cottage cheese (full fat)
- ½ cup (60 g) shredded Gruyère (substitute with shredded cheddar)
- ¼ tsp kosher salt (more to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper (more to taste)
- 4 slices turkey ham (substitute with ham or bacon)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Spray a (silicone) muffin pan with cooking spray or grease it with oil. Place a rack in the center of the oven and add a second rack beneath it. Fill a large baking pan with water and place it on the lower rack to create steam.
In a blender, add the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until just combined, but do not overmix. Alternatively, you can whisk all the ingredients together in a large bowl.
Chop the turkey ham and add it to the egg mixture along with the shredded Gruyère. Use a spatula or fork to mix it well.
Fill each muffin mold about ⅔ full. If you like, sprinkle more diced ham on top.
Bake in the middle rack of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is set. Let them cool before serving.
