Make your own Starbucks egg bites in the oven.

Why not make your own velvety, delicious, and super cute egg bites in the oven and skip the Starbucks egg bites drive-thru? And (happily) for just a fraction of the cost!

When Starbucks added a hot breakfast item to their menu called Sous Vide egg bites, I instantly knew they would be a hit with consumers. They are velvety, delicious, and – honestly – super cute with their little bite-size plus adorable paper tray. However, for the menu price of almost four and a half bucks… the price isn’t so cute.

Yes, you can make these at home.

No fancy Sous Vide is required. The secret in preparing these Starbucks egg bites at home is having a silicone tray in the right size. I found mine on amazon and there are many options to choose from, including ones that are in the classic circle shape that Starbucks uses. I prefer the finger-food size of mini rectangles.

A rule of thumb when you’re looking for a silicon tray for this recipe is:

  • One egg makes two egg bites
  • A twelve compartment silicon tray uses six eggs

So, how do you feel about saving almost $53.00?

Okay, let’s just do the math. $4.45 spent at Starbucks gives you two Sous Vide egg bites (aka one egg), which would be the equivalent of spending $53.00 on a dozen eggs (12 eggs x $4.45). Plus gas money!

Yikes! Let’s hope they are organic and range-free chickens of royal lineage to be that expensive!

Of course, I cannot prove that Starbucks only uses one egg per serving but I do know that my recommended silicone tray is virtually the same size and that is the amount of egg mixture it uses.

Additional benefits of making your own egg bites

  • You can add the ingredients that YOU want
  • Season the way YOU like it
  • Perfect for meal planning because YOU can make these in bulk
  • Your silicon tray is versatile and can used to make brownies, muffins, banana bread, and polenta bites

Now that I think about it, I should buy another one.

Can you freeze them?

Absolutely! In fact, making these Starbucks egg bites in bulk is a great use of meal prep and planning. You can even get to a point where you don’t even think about it. As you plan out meals for the week, chop/dice/mince extra when meal prepping specifically for these egg bites.

Can you reheat them?

Absolutely! I like to freeze extra egg bites in plastic bags and let them thaw in the fridge overnight. Then, it’s a matter of either popping them in the microwave for thirty seconds or using the “reheat” function on your oven for ten minutes.

Are these KETO?

There are so many “diet plans” out there that it’s hard to answer everyone’s questions on if they are healthy/paleo/whole30/keto/gluten-free, but let me try. My recipe would definitely fall under the “KETO” or “low-carb” camp. They are also gluten-free!

Ready for the recipe?

Print, bookmark, and share this recipe with your family and friends as you start to familiarize yourself with how easy it is to make these Starbucks egg bites. Before you know it, you’ll be the expert training everyone else!

Can you think of a favorite ingredient that YOU would add to these egg bites?

Enjoy your breakfast!

Eat well my friends.

      Super! Honestly, use the recipe as a guide but feel free to use whatever ingredients you have on hand (aka leftovers!). I’m always mixing it up. Potatoes, rice, cold cuts, bacon, etc. Have fun with it!

    While these are delicious in their own right, I’m sorry. They hold NO comparison to sous vide eggs.

      Hi Wendy, the consistency is definitely different than sous vide eggs, that’s for sure! Sorry if you were looking for an identical match — yet I’m so glad you found them delicious in their own right! When I create a sous vide version, I will email the recipe to you. Thank you for your comment!

Of course, you could just use two raw circles. One for the base and one for the top. Just cut some slits on the top crust so that some ooey-gooey delightfulness can do its thang.⁠
