Easy Egg Bites Recipe

Don’t you just love it when your fridge is full of leftovers after a big family dinner? Me neither. That’s why I created this easy egg bites recipe. 

I don’t blame you if you’re a fan of the Starbucks sous vide egg bites. They’re delicious. 

The slow cooking, water bath method gives them a lovely, creamy texture. However, few home cooks have easy access to a sous vide machine. 

Better than Starbucks

I also thought this could be a great way to use up leftover simple ingredients.

So I started working on a copycat Starbucks egg bites recipe.

It’s an easy recipe that adapts well to different flavor combinations. And it’s a perfect breakfast to make on the weekends and store in a large freezer bag for busy mornings during the week.

It’s also a great make-ahead camping recipe. Just warm the egg bites up in a cast iron skillet over the campfire.
