Starbucks egg bites recipe kale and mushroom

Starbucks Inspired Recipe. This is the dish that started my Sous Vide journey. I had scoured the internet for this recipe on multiple occasions, without success. This is my first attempt at creating a recipe, and it comes very close to the original! I step up the texture with a greater dose of the veggies. Also, I usually have to add salt to the ones from Starbucks, but these are perfectly seasoned. I tripled the ingredients and am now looking forward to a week of yummy breakfast. I had to pulse the kale in two batches, to prevent it from being minced. But, everything else was the same as making a small batch.

These Copycat Starbucks Portabella & Kale Egg Bites are probably the healthiest breakfast I’ve had in forever! I put my Weight Watchers spin on to lighten them up a bit. 🙂 The Portabella and Kale are a copycat of their latest version – they also have Bacon & Gruyere and Egg White & Roasted Red Pepper.

Starbucks makes their egg bites in a sous vide machine but guess what – I don’t have one of those! But I did figure out a couple of tricks to make these Starbucks egg bites in your oven and they are just as delicious and creamy!

What’s in Starbucks Kale & Portabella Egg Bites?

Starbucks Kale & Portabella Mushroom egg bites have cottage cheese, eggs, Monterey Jack cheese, portabella mushrooms, Swiss cheese, kale, parsley, hot sauce, garlic and black pepper. I trimmed down the cheese and eggs a bit to make them more Weight Watchers friendly!

Do Starbucks Egg Bites have dairy?

Yes – lots! There’s cottage cheese, regular cheese and eggs!

How to make Starbucks Egg Bites

Well – they’re easy enough to make – but you have a couple more steps than “regular” baked egg bites:

• Preheat your oven and place a baking dish with 2 inches of water on a lower rack. This will create a nice steamy oven!
• In a skillet, saute your mushrooms in water – yes water! No oil = healthier!
• Add the garlic & kale – stir and turn off the heat! The kale will wilt quickly but not cook through. The color is so bright!
• In a blender, add the eggs, cottage cheese, cheese (I swapped Jack and Swiss for Babybel Light), hot sauce, parsley, salt & pepper. Blend on high for 30 seconds until light & frothy!
• Spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray – I used the LARGE muffin tin size for these so they’re a little bigger!
• Pour in the egg mixture across the 6 muffin spots.
• Add in spoonfuls of mushroom & kale.
• Bake at 300 for 30 minutes until the centers of the bites are set.
• Remove the pan from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Carefully remove with a rubber spatula and enjoy!

Can Starbucks Egg Bites be frozen?

You can store them in the fridge for 3-4 days – or freeze them for a couple of month. When you reheat, I would recommend steaming them in the microwave (I love this steamer!). This will keep the eggs from getting rubbery.

Tell me about Weight Watchers

My version of Starbucks Egg Bites has a couple healthy swaps: egg + egg whites instead of whole eggs, water instead of oil for cooking the mushrooms and Mini Babybel Light instead of Jack & Swiss. The points on these for TWO are:

• Green – 4 pts
• Blue – 2 pts
• Purple – 1 pt

I love that it’s good for weight loss because I’ve been on Weight Watchers since the beginning of the year. I actually got my first weight loss charm last week!! They send them when you lose a certain number of pounds – today was just 5 but still psyched to get it! On WW, there are a lot of “free” foods which you can have as much of as you like – and this recipe is 0 on ALL PLANS! So eat up!!!

Instructions 

• Recipe makes 6 egg bites, you can easily double or triple the recipe.

• bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the center of the egg bites are just set.

• Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then use a spatula, carefully remove them from the muffin tin. Enjoy!

  Are egg bites from Starbucks healthy?

  Sous Vide Egg Bite: Egg White & Red Pepper These protein-rich bites are like mini frittatas (that kind of look like dumplings) and are made with cage-free eggs , cheese, spinach, and peppers. The sodium is a little high (500mg) so I wouldn't recommend making it a daily choice, but on the fly, it's not bad.
