Description
Save money and make your own Copycat Starbucks Bacon and Gruyere Egg Bites at home. These taste identical if not even better than the original. I've included cooking methods for sous vide, oven, microwave, instant pot and more.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup finely chopped cooked bacon
- 1/3 cup freshly grated gruyere
- 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch (I use this brand)
- 2 teaspoons tapioca starch (I use this brand)
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Directions for a makeshift Sous Vide water bath:
- In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, half of the parmesan and gruyere cheeses, butter, vinegar, cornstarch, tapioca starch, hot sauce and sea salt. Pulse until smooth.
- Add the bacon to the bottom of the wells of a silicone egg bite mold. Then top the bacon with the remaining parmesan and gruyere. Gently press down the bacon and the cheese into the bottom of the mold.
- Fill each well of the egg mold with the egg mixture.
- Put the lid on the silicone egg mold and place it in a large pan (I use a 6 quart dutch oven).
- Fill with water to right below the lid of the silicone mold. Over high heat, bring the water to a boil. Once the water is at a rolling boil, reduce the heat to medium, cover and let steam for 12 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the silicone egg mold from the water, remove the lid, and let cool for 5 minutes before removing the egg bites from the mold.
