These Copycat Starbucks Egg Bites are just like the Starbucks sous vide egg bites, but you can make them at home for less money and with better ingredients. You can make these low carb egg bites in your Instant Pot or on the stovetop.

Starbucks sous vide egg bites without the Starbucks price tag

I’ve shared about this a lot on Instagram so some of you might already know that I really love the Starbucks egg bites especially the bacon and gruyere ones.

Something that I do NOT like is the price point of these bites at Starbucks. They cost almost $5 for two tiny egg bites. I set out to create some copycat Starbucks egg bites so that I could enjoy them at home at a lower price point!

At Starbucks they call their egg bites “Sous Vide Egg Bites” and I thought I could never make these at home because I don’t have a sous vide machine. Then I was clicking around on Pinterest one day and found people were making these egg bites in their Instant Pots and on the stovetop.

Make the bacon and gruyere sous vide egg bites just like Starbucks

My favorite flavor of Starbucks egg bites are the bacon and Gruyere ones. I like basically anything with bacon and cheese so these are no exception.

I got LOTS of requests for the red pepper and feta egg bites SO you know I had to make a recipe. You can grab the recipe for other egg bite flavors at the links below!

What kitchen tools will I need for this Starbucks egg bites recipe?

  • Frying pan
  • High speed blender
  • Liquid measuring cup
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Silicone egg bite mold
  • Instant Pot or large stock pot or dutch oven

What ingredients will I need to make these homemade egg bites?

  • Bacon
  • Eggs
  • Milk – I used half and half, but you can use heavy cream or lower fat milk
  • Cream cheese
  • Salt
  • Gruyere Cheese
  • Cooking spray to spray the silicone egg bite molds

Cream Cheese substitutes

If you don’t want to use cream cheese for this recipe, you can use 3/4 cup cottage cheese instead!

Can I use just egg whites instead?

Yes! Swap the 5 whole eggs for 1 cup of egg whites. Then, follow the rest of the instructions as they are written.

How do I make Copycat Starbucks Egg Bites?

Instant Pot Instructions for Egg Bites

Start making this Starbucks egg bites recipe by cooking the bacon in a frying pan. You will want the bacon to be fully cooked, but not too crispy.

Then add eggs, cream cheese, milk, and salt to a high speed blender or food processor. Combine until fully combined and smooth. Check and be sure that all of the cream cheese has been blended in.

Chop the bacon and place a few pieces in each cup of a silicone mold. Pour egg batter into the silicone molds as well. Finally sprinkle shredded Gruyere cheese into each egg cup as well.

Pour 1 cup of water into the instant pot. Lower the silicone mold into the instant pot on a trivet. Close the valve to sealing and set the instant pot to the steam setting for 10 minutes.

When the 10 minutes are up, manually release the pressure and open the instant pot. Allow the egg bites to cool for 5-10 minutes before removing from each mold. Enjoy immediately or store in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Stove Top Instructions for Egg Bites

To make the Starbucks egg bites on a stove top you will still need the silicone molds and a blender, but this time you will use a large stock pot or dutch oven to cook them. Prepare the egg batter by blending together the eggs, cream cheese, milk, and salt.

Pour 2 cups of water into the large soup pot and place the trivet that comes with the molds into the bottom of the pot. Place some bacon and cheese into each egg mold cup and pour batter on top. Carefully place the filled egg molds on top of the trivet.

Turn the heat on to high for about 3 minutes until the water boils. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium. Allow the egg bites to steam in the pot for 12 minutes.

Turn the heat off and remove the lid. Allow the egg bites to cool for at least 10 minutes. Remove the egg bites from the molds and enjoy!

Other Mix in options

Keep the basic egg mixture listed below and update this recipe with different mix in options!

  • Fresh spinach, red bell pepper and feta
  • Green onions, parmesan cheese and ham
  • Turkey breakfast sausage, chopped tomatoes and cheddar cheese

Can I freeze this Starbucks egg bites recipe?

Yes! This recipe freezes perfectly! Allow the egg bites to cool completely and then place them in an airtight container to freeze. Enjoy within 3 months of freezing.

    Thanks for sharing this! I also love the starbucks version but not the price. I have made these twice now with precooked packaged bacon just as a time saver but found them to be the perfect softness as you mentioned avoiding getting the bacon too crispy. Also, I forgot to pick up the heavy whipping cream so I substituted (1:1) it with plain greek yogurt instead. Aside from being a little frothy after blending in my NutriBullet, it worked for me!

    Have you ever doubled the batch and put two molds on top of each other in the instapot? I haven’t tried, because I was worried they wouldn’t cook through.

    Reply
    • Madeline Tague says

      Posted on 10/11 at 12:13 am

      Hi Allyson, I wouldn’t double it in the same batch. They need room to expand as they cook. Unfortunately, I think you would need to do multiple batches.

      Amazing recipe, so helpful! I’ve made these 3 times and love them so much. We have a cow dairy allergy so we substitute the cream cheese for soft creamy goat cheese, we use soy milk instead of regular milk and goat cheddar or Gouda or manchego instead of cow Gouda. They come out perfect with the most amazing creamy texture! You’ve come up with the perfect ratios! We have a Yedi like an instant pot and find that we have to cook them for around 22 minutes on high pressure steam otherwise they are still a little runny inside (even with the regular dairy recipe). Could just be our machine! Anyway, love these thank you!

    Just made these for the first time. I used stovetop method because I do not have an InstantPot. They are delicious but the turkey bacon and shredded cheese sunk to the bottom, which I expected. I mixed everything in a Vitamix and then added the cheese and bacon right before I put in the pot to steam, thinking it was less time for the heavier ingredients to drop. What can I do to ensure that the ingredients don’t drop to the bottom? I also added another cup of water to the pot and am glad I did. It all steamed away. Also, it is the cream cheese (I used whipped so there was no blending issues) or cottage cheese that makes the bites fluffy? Or is it the steam? I want to attempt a no dairy version for my son. Thank you.
    Can’t wait to try other varieties.

      Hi Kathy! My toppings tend to drop as well. I don’t think theres much you can do about it. If you’ve every had the ones from starbucks its a similar situation. All of the toppings are at one side. YES I need to update this recipe to share about hte 2 cups of water for stovetop. It’s definitely very hard to make these dairy free and delicous. I have tried SO many methods. Basically you can make them without dairy but they will not be as fluffy and a little dry. If you try to use coconut cream instead of dairy milk they get greasy. I wish there was an option, but you can still try they just arent as tasty.

Served with sautéed spinach . . . my husband loved them too! Amazing! Thanks!!!

    I tried these today and they turned out great but I had to cook them an additional three minutes in my stock pot. I calculated the grams of carbs based on what’s in the recipe and it’s really only about 4 g of carbs for 2 bites so I’m wondering if the number of carbs you mention is actually for the entire recipe rather than for two bites?

      Hi I sorry sometimes my calorie calculator has a glitch. It’s a third party service so I don’t control it. Please see updates count. Its still not perfect because this batch actually makes 3.5 servings and this only lets me put in whole numbers. I recommend using your own calorie counting app like chronometer if you’re strictly counting 🙂

    I just bake these in the oven, (no cream cheese and using veggies or breakfast sausage as well as bacon and cheese) but will try it with steam to see if they get fluffier. I’ll put a pot of boiling water in to see how that turns out.

    Baking bacon in the oven is easier and less messy, ones you can make a larger batch. I do make my own bacon bits and store them in the fridge. I cut 4-5 pieces at a time of thick sliced bacon into 3 sections then cut each down the middle and then cut into whatever size pieces you wish. I fry them in a tall pot but they don’t splatter as much as frying in a pan. You can do large quantities, it just takes time and lots of stirring so you get uniform browning after the fat renders. Bonus, you get all that bacon fat to use in your potato salad (yes, I mix it into my miracle whip with my spices and milk), cornbread or to fry eggs in! Added treat for the dogs, I mix a little in with their food occasionally, they love that!

    I have made this recipe several times. This has been my go to and life saver for breakfast meal prep! It is so easy to just throw in whatever fillings we have in the fridge. I’ve used the precooked turkey sausage crumbles with mozzarella, bacon and shredded smoked Gouda but even plain they are delicious! I’ve even subbed the cream cheese for cottage cheese (left out the milk) and they were still fluffy. All of her recipes so far have been amazing. You won’t be disappointed.

      I love this recipe just made my first batch and will definitely repeat. I want to make a double batch and freeze for on the go. Any good suggestions for reheating?

        yay so glad!! And my favorite ways to reheat are an air fryer, toaster oven or in the oven under the broiler. Just a couple minutes until they are warmed through. you can also microwave just gives a slightly soggier texture.

    Better than Starbucks! I didn’t have the special equipment though – so I used a rectangular crockpot and a lightly buttered12 piece mini muffin tin. They turned out perfectly – tender and delicious! I followed your recipe using whipping cream, 3 ounces cream cheese (all I had) and a different cheese (similar to gruyere). I reheated the crockpot for bit on high. Added the tin to the crockpot with the cheese and bacon. Then poured in the eggy liquid (had extra so next time I’ll just use 3 eggs and a bit less cream). They didn’t puff up, so you can fill the cups to the brim. Then I poured boiling water 3/4 up the sides and cooled on high with the lid on for approximately 40 minutes – tested with a knife. I’ve made the egg bite recipes using cottage cheese – but they’re not as good as these! Thanks for the recipe. We loved them 🙂

    These are even better than the ones at Starbucks! So easy to make and saves a bunch of money. Plus, you can fill with whatever combo you like inside. A++

    I’ve been meaning to try this recipe for a while and decided today is the day. As the were cooling, my husband tried one and immediately said “oh wow! this is great!”. The texture and taste are so similar to the the Starbucks egg bites, maybe even better. Another bonus, they were so easy to make. Well done, Madeline! I’m excited to have these to eat throughout the week.

    What is best way to reheat left over egg bites? Or from frozen?

    Reply
    • Madeline says

      Posted on 3/23 at 10:11 pm

      If frozen, I would defrost first either in fridge or in the microwave. Best way to reheat is in the air fryer or under the broiler in the oven to keep them from getting too mushy.

    Would you mind updating this to include instant pot duo plus models? They have a sous vide option on there and “steam” is no longer a button on this model so not too sure how to follow your recipe with the newer model 🙁

      sorry!! I’m not sure myself because I don’t have the new model. I would check with the manual. Also, in the future if you have a question you can just leave instead of leaving a 4 star review considering I have no control over the fact that a company change their devices functions.

    Better than Starbucks. I made them both ways and both were excellent. I used Smokey Salt and Havarti instead of regular salt and gruyere. The appearance, texture, and flavor were superb—quite a delicacy and company-worthy. Highly recommend. Thank you so much for sharing this receipe.

    Love the recipe! Could you tell me why some egg bites, in the same mold, cook up beautifully shaped and some overflow the mold and when turned over look like the bottom of a snowman melting away…LOL!!! All the mold sections are filled to the exact amount. Any suggestions would be appreciated. 😊

      Hi Melissa,

      Thats super odd, are you changing the ingredients at all? sometimes a very oily cheese will make mine separate, but other than that I have not run into this issue.

    These taste good but when I opened my lid the eggs had poofed up so much while cooking that it looked like someone sprayed a,mess of expanding foam in the molds and closed the lid. Any suggestions as to why? They were cooked 10 mins on the steam setting

      Posted on 8/8 at 5:14 pm

      sometimes they just expand like that and I cant pinpoint why. I think it has something to do with brands of ingredients or age of eggs. They always shrink back into the molds and are normal size. Shame you had to leave 3 stars.

    Yum! Just made these, so good! I have tried other recipes trying to copy the Starbucks version and these are the best. I used 1/2 swiss cheese and 1/2 gouda cheese instead of gruyere (it’s so expensive) and added a couple dashes of hot sauce, also used 1/2 and 1/2.

      did you follow the ingredients exactly and did you use the steam bath? If you changed any of those things that could be to blame. Additionally ovens can be veryyy off so I recommend getting an in oven thermometer (theyre super cheap) and see if perhaps your oven runs hot.

    Only recently discovered Starbucks egg bites then found this recipe. Used whole milk since my grocery store wants us to believe there is a shortage of half and half and heavy cream right now, olive oil spray, bacon, and Gruyere. 10 minutes on the egg setting on my IP. Absolutely delicious!!

      Hi there! They are meant to have a soft texture, so I think they can sometimes appear undone when they are done. They will look puffed up and sometimes even wet when finished but when completely cooled they are more solid. If you truly think they are not cooked, add 5 mins to the cooking time. Hope this helps!
