Tasty Homemade Starbucks Egg Bites

Have you tried the Starbucks egg bites? After one bite, I was obsessed - Starbucks egg bites are without a doubt delicious! However, this low carb breakfast may not be sustainable daily - Have you looked at the price? It is $5 for two teeny tiny bites!! Sometimes, even those two egg bites aren't enough for your rumbly stomach. As a university student, $5 actually goes a long way and when you consistently buy them, it quickly adds up.  Like the majority of us, I try to save as money as much as I can. With that being said, I found a very easy alternative that I would like to share with all of you! It required simple equipment such as a muffin tray and an oven. I got my inspiration from this recipe but I added my own little twist to incorporate my favourite toppings and I am excited to try different combinations! 

My Recipe 

• Coat your muffin tin pan well with non stick spray to prevent the egg mixture from sticking 
• Whisk 6 eggs give or take and ensure a smooth consistency (You can include butter or milk but I choose milk!)
• Top with some spices (I added salt and pepper, thyme, and everything but the bagel seasoning!)
• Add some of your favourite veggies into the mix (I choose to use red onion, mushrooms, assorted bell peppers, tomatoes, and green onion.) 
• I added Tex Mex cheese but it tastes good with other cheeses as well or even without cheese
• Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin pans 
• Bake in the over for 30 minutes at 380 degrees 

Please keep in mind that this is not the only way you can make these homemade Starbucks egg bites! One of the advantages to creating these at home,  is that you can be flexible to your changing cravings! As you can see, I switched up the recipe that I found online to satisfy my own cravings and you can do that too! For example, I choose to keep it primarily vegetables but if you enjoy meat, you may also add ham, bacon crumbles or other alternatives to top off your egg bites! I strongly encourage you to tailor it to your own  likings! 

Starbucks Egg Bites vs Homemade Egg Bites

A noticeable difference between Starbucks egg bites and homemade egg bites is the texture. Starbucks is more dense whereas homemade is more fluffy. In addition, homemade egg bites are freshly made from scratch and you have full control of which ingredients go into the creation. However, Starbucks egg bites are frozen and they pop them in the oven to heat up. Plus, if you like saving our planet, homemade Starbucks egg bites allow you to minimize waste by eliminating the additional packaging that comes with each pair of Starbucks egg bites. 

Final Thoughts 

In my opinion, I think that homemade egg bites, tailored to your unique tastebuds, are the better alternative. They are fresh, cost effective and a fun activity to do in your spare time. I did it as a Sunday brunch idea and I loved it as I was able to spend time with my wonderful family while making extremely delicious food!
