A quick and easy recipe for creamy, silky egg bites inspired by Starbucks, featuring Gruyère cheese and roasted red peppers. Perfect for busy mornings or meal prep with a rich, velvety texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup small-curd cottage cheese, well-drained
  • 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese, preferably aged
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted red peppers, drained
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Place a kettle or pot of water on the stove to boil for the water bath.
  2. Lightly grease 4 to 6 ramekins or silicone molds with butter or non-stick spray.
  3. Drain the cottage cheese and roasted red peppers using a fine mesh strainer to remove excess liquid.
  4. In a blender or food processor, combine 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.
  5. Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl. Gently fold in the shredded Gruyère, chopped roasted red peppers, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if using.
  6. Divide the egg mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins or molds, filling about 3/4 full.
  7. Place the ramekins in a deep baking dish. Carefully pour boiling water into the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the egg bites are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  9. Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath and let cool for 5 minutes.
  10. Sprinkle fresh chopped chives on top and serve warm.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for a smoother texture. Drain cottage cheese and roasted peppers thoroughly to avoid watery egg bites. Baking in a water bath prevents cracking and keeps egg bites tender. Avoid overbaking to maintain creamy texture. If tops brown too quickly, tent with foil. These egg bites reheat well in microwave or oven.
