These roasted red pepper and feta egg bites are steamed in a silicone mold instead of baked in the oven. This method makes these Starbucks copycat egg bites soft and fluffy.

When you eat these sous vide egg bites breakfast you feel like you are eating a fluffy souffle. You can also freeze and reheat these egg bites and they will still have the same soft texture.

Let’s make some red pepper and feta copycat Starbucks egg bites!

Roasted red pepper and feta egg bites can be prepared in both the Instant Pot and on the stovetop. Either way, you will need silicone egg bite molds and a metal rack.

Most of these egg bite molds have seven slots. This recipe for healthy egg bites makes one seven bite batch.

You will also need a blender in order to blend the batter together. Other than the blender and the silicone mold you will either need an Instant Pot or large pot for steaming the egg bites.

Time to cook these healthy roasted red pepper and feta egg bites!

Step 1 – Prep

Firstly, slice the roasted red peppers into small pieces. Then, crumble the feta into small crumbles unless you purchased pre crumbled feta.

Prepare your Instant Pot or regular pot by pouring 1 cup or 2 cups of water into them. Finally, spray your silicone egg molds with a spray of oil.

Step 2 – Blend

Then, add eggs, cottage cheese, and salt to a blender. Blend until a smooth mixture remains.

Step 3 – Assemble

Next, pour the egg batter into the silicone egg mold cups until they are 3/4 of the way full.

Then, add some peppers and feta to each egg bite and mix in gently with a toothpick.

Step 4 – Steam

If you are using an Instant Pot to cook your egg bites, lower the egg mold on the metal rack into the Instant Pot. Then, close the pot and set the lid to sealing.

Then, set the Instant Pot to Steam for 10 minutes. The Instant Pot will come to pressure and then steam for 10 minutes.

Once the timer goes off, manually release the pressure. Remove the egg bites from the Instant Pot and allow them to cool before enjoying.

If you are using the stovetop method, lower the egg mold on the metal rack into the pot. Then, turn on the heat to high.

Once the water at the bottom of the pot is bubbling, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot.

Then, allow the egg bites to steam for 15 minutes. Next, turn off the heat and remove them from the pot. Allow the egg bites to cool slightly before eating.

Can I use just egg whites?

If you want to make these roasted red pepper and feta egg bites with just egg whites, you can swap the 5 full eggs for 1 cup of egg whites.

How Many Bites are made in one batch?

This healthy Starbucks copycat egg bite recipe makes 7 bites!

Can I freeze these egg bites?

Yes! You can freeze these egg bites and reheat them later. Make sure your egg bites cool completely and then place them in an airtight container to freeze. Reheat the egg bites in the microwave.

    This looks great! Do you put the lid back onto the mold before putting it into the Instant \Pot?

      Hi Lisa, It totally depends on the brands of cottage cheese, feta, and red pepper you use so I would recommend plugging the info into a calculator on your own. https://cronometer.com/ is a good one

    Game changer! I’ve dreamed of making egg bites that have the same texture as Starbucks! I typically hate egg bakes so when I made these for my husband and I for easy breakfasts to go we were astonished at how good they were! These are a weekly staple in our household. We keep changing up the cheese for variety. So far Fontina is our fave!
