These Sausage Cheddar and Jalapeño Egg Bites are a healthy alternative to the Starbucks sous vide egg bite that you can make in your own kitchen! Just grab a silicone egg mold and a few simple ingredients and you can make these egg bites in the Instant Pot or on the stovetop!

Save the trip to Starbucks and make these soft, fluffy, and flavorful egg bites at home!

Last year I discovered that it was possible to make a copycat version of the Starbucks egg bites right in my own kitchen. Since then I have been trying many egg bite flavor combinations.

I wanted to make one with sausage so I grabbed some of my favorite Jones Dairy Farm pork sausages and came up with this egg bite recipe! The base is a simple mixture of egg, cottage cheese, and salt. Then, I mixed in some sausage, cheddar cheese, and jalapeños for lots of flavor.

Let’s make Sausage Cheddar and Jalapeño Egg Bites!

Step 1: Cook the Sausage

First, heat a frying pan over medium heat. Then, add frozen sausage to the pan and cook over medium heat until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 2: Blend the Egg Mixture

Next, place eggs, cottage cheese, and salt in a blender. Blend on high until a smooth even mixture remains.

Step 3: Prep the Bites

Then, spray a silicone egg bite mold with oil. Next, add chopped, cooked sausage, sliced jalapeño, and cheddar to each egg mold slot. Finally, pour the egg mixture on top of the other ingredients until each egg mold slot is completely full.

Step 4: Steam the Bites

If using an Instant Pot, add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot. Then, lower the egg bites into the Instant Pot on a metal rack. Set to steaming for 10 minutes and then immediately release the pressure.

If cooking on the stovetop, add 2 cups of water to a stockpot. Then, lower the egg bites into the pot on a metal rack. Leave the lid of the pot and bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot and simmer for 12 minutes. Then, remove the lid and remove the pot from the heat.

Step 5: Enjoy!

Allow the egg bites to cool almost completely. Then, remove from the mold and enjoy!

How long will these egg bites keep in the fridge?

Once prepared, you should store your bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. You can reheat them in the microwave or in a steamer basket on the stovetop.
