Make the fluffy sous vide Starbucks egg bites at home in your oven!
Do you love the bacon and gruyere Starbucks egg bites? I do too, but I was sick of paying their expensive prices.
I knew I could make them at home for cheaper, but I needed to figure out how to get them smooth and fluffy. After some testing, I realized that if I blended eggs with cottage cheese and then steamed the egg bites in my oven, they turned out perfectly rich and fluffy.
How do you steam in an oven?
In order for these oven baked egg bites to be extra fluffy you need to partially steam them. You can created a steam bath in your oven by pouring boiling water on a baking sheet.
Place the egg bites on the middle rack in the oven. Then, place a baking sheet on the lowest rack in the oven.
Pour boiling water on the baking sheet and close the oven. As the egg bites bake they will also be filled with steam.
