You will love this money-saving idea!

A two-pack of egg bites at Starbucks is $5 at my location. Save money by making them on hand and can use the ingredients you prefer. I personally love their tasty bacon gruyere cheese flavor, so today I’ll be sharing how to make a similar homemade version. They onlinee out creamy, and cheesy, plus are easy to make!
My mother-in-law makes these each week, and she was nice enough to share with me her method. I know some people prefer to go with cottage cheese, but she prefers cream cheese, and so far I am loving these!

The secret to creating these is the Instant Pot egg bites mold!

This mold from Amazon.online fits conveniently right inside the Instant Pot and creates seven perfectly shaped egg bites at a time. All you have to do is set the STEAM function to 10 minutes and let your Instant Pot do the work.

While this silicone mold can help replicate the wildly popular Starbucks sous vide egg bites, you can make so many more delicious creations in it! Make muffin or brownie bites, meatloaf bites, hot cocoa bombs, cheesecake bites, and more!

easy egg bites in the air fryer

More tips on how to make copycat Starbucks egg bites:

  • What about using the air fryer to make egg bites? I tested this method too! I used this same recipe using the silicone mold and used the air fryer to cook them instead at 340 degrees for 11 minutes. Use a toothpick inserted to see if they are fully cooked. The outside texture on the bottom gets more crispy browned, but they taste very similar to the Instant Pot!
  • Want to use the oven instead? Here’s how we made egg bites using a muffin pan in the oven as featured on our keto site Hip2Keto.online!
  • Feel free to change up the cheeses if the cream cheese isn’t desired. Cottage cheese can be substituted, or even goat cheese. Also, shredded Cheddar cheese is delicious instead of Gruyere. I think crumbled sausage would be yummy too!
  • Cooked egg bites can be stored for up to 3-5 days in the fridge and for up to two months in the freezer. To warm them up, try 90 seconds in the microwave.

We love this Instant Pot Egg Bites Recipe!

I love how easy this is to make for a delicious breakfast and they taste great. In fact, my husband had never had egg bites from Starbucks until today. He says the homemade ones are fluffier and even more delicious than the Starbucks version when tasting each side by side.

It’s a great meal prep idea to make a bunch and then store them for breakfast later on. They really do reheat well.

    Does anyone know if I can make this recipe without an instant pot? They look amazing but I don’t have an instant pot:(

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Yes, if you go to the tips I included directions for the air fryer and also linked to an oven version. Hope that helps!

      • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

        Yum! Thanks for sharing!

        • Cindy

          Thank you!

    • Sara

      I have made them in a muffin tin in the oven with and without a water bath. The only difference to me is the texture. The water bath makes them more like the Starbucks egg bites, and without it is more like small omelets. Both are yummy!
