How to Make Egg White Bites
While Starbucks egg white bites are made using the sous vide method, you can recreate them at home using a blender, muffin pan, and baking sheet. Here’s the process:
- Blend the egg whites and cheese: In a blender, combine egg whites, cottage cheese, shredded Monterey jack cheese, feta, butter, cornstarch, and hot sauce. Blend until smooth.
- Add the veggies: Place chopped roasted red bell pepper, spinach, green onions, and a pinch of salt and pepper in each cup of a muffin pan.
- Pour into a muffin pan: Divide the egg mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling them two-thirds full.
- Place the muffin pan on a baking sheet: Position the muffin pan on top of a baking sheet and fill the sheet with boiling water.
- Bake: Bake at 350°F for 20-22 minutes.
- Cool and enjoy: Once baked, let the egg white bites cool slightly before serving.
