Ingredients in Bacon Egg Bites

• Eggs: A particularly clean source of protein, eggs are loaded with nutrients and can help improve your cholesterol profile.
• Cheddar cheese: While the recipe includes cheddar, I really love to play with different cheese when making these. Monterey Jack cheese, Gruyere cheese like the OG Starbucks recipe, or even mozzarella.
• Greek yogurt & cottage cheese: The yogurt and cottage cheese make a delicious high protein substitute for cream cheese or heavy cream. Since they’re blended together, you can’t taste the tang of the yogurt or the texture of the cottage cheese.
• Bell pepper: You can use any color pepper that you prefer. Red bell peppers have the sweetest flavor.
• Green onions
• Turkey Bacon: Look for cleaner brands that have no nitrites and are low in sodium. I prefer Applegate.

Recipe Tips

• This recipe works great in the oven using a muffin pan, but I prefer to use the silicone egg bite mold in the Instant Pot.
• Be sure to grease your egg molds or your egg bites will stick.
• For meal prep, these freeze really well. I like to freeze them individually on a cookie sheet, then they can be transferred to one big container for storage.
• These are great served warm or straight from the fridge. To reheat, wrap them loosely in a napkin and microwave for 30 seconds.
• You can bake these in the oven without the water for steaming, but the bites will have a drier texture.
• I don’t use much salt in my recipes. You might like to add salt and pepper to your bacon egg bites!

How to make Bacon Egg Bites in the Instant Pot

Oven Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375° F.
2. Spray a muffin pan with cooking oil then set aside. Chop your cooked turkey bacon, bell peppers, and green onions, then fill each hole about half way with equal parts of each.
3. Add eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and cheese to your blender. Blend on high until completely smooth. It will take about 30 seconds.
4. Pour your egg mixture over the bacon, bell peppers and onions. Fill each hole about ¾ full.
5. Place a pan dish of water on the bottom rack of your preheated oven, then place your muffin pan on the top rack.The dish of water will help you bacon egg bites stay moist and have a texture closer to the Bacon Gruyere Sous Vide Egg Bites from Starbucks.
6. Bake for 20 minutes then remove them from the oven being careful of the steam when you open the door. Allow them to cool for about 5 minutes before flipping your pan over and removing the egg bites. Serve immediately or transfer to the fridge for storage.
