Starting your morning right just got easier (and tastier) with these copycat Starbucks egg bites. Filled with savory bacon and gooey cheese, they're the perfect grab-and-go breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup 4% cottage cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 3 cooked bacon strips, chopped

Directions

  1. Arrange an oven rack at the lowest rack setting; place a second rack in middle of oven. Place an oven-safe skillet on bottom oven rack; preheat oven and skillet to 300°. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil.
  2. In a blender, puree the first 4 ingredients until smooth, about 20 seconds. Line 6 muffin cups with foil liners. Divide Swiss cheese and bacon among the muffin cups. Pour egg mixture over top.
  3. Wearing oven mitts, place muffin tin on top rack. Pull bottom rack out 6-8 in.; add boiling water to skillet. (Work quickly and carefully, pouring water away from you. Don't worry if some water is left in the saucepan.) Carefully slide bottom rack back into place; quickly close door to trap steam in oven.
  4. Bake until the eggs puff and are cooked to desired degree of doneness, 25-30 minutes. Serve immediately.

These are quick, easy and delicious. I make them ahead for easy breakfasts. You can swap in Gruyere for the Swiss cheese and use ham instead of the bacon or add in small-cut veggies. I like to also bake these in small Mason jars for a fun single-portion presentation. Serve with avocado slices and fresh fruit for a healthy breakfast. —Maria Morelli, West Kelowna, British Columbia
