We make our own copycat version of Starbucks egg bites, and it’s so easy! All you need are eggs, bacon, cottage cheese, and gruyere cheese – that’s it! You don’t even need expensive sous vide machine. This keto-friendly recipe will show you how to make these bacon & egg bites in your instant pot! Show
Starbuck Egg BitesStarbuck Egg Bites are a wonderful breakfast, snack, or appetizer. When traveling and especially when flying, I find that it’s really easy to swing into a Starbucks’ for their sous vide egg bites. (It’s funny because the only time I really ever go to Starbucks is when I travel.) Want to see how I find super low airfare deals? Read how I use Dollar Flights Deals. Egg bites are protein-packed and low carb which is a big plus when starting out the day. When traveling, I grab the Bacon and Gruyere Cheese bites (my favorite) and an Americano or Dirty Chai, for a quick breakfast before setting off on whatever is planned for the day. Sous vide machine versus a pressure cookerStarbucks uses the sous vide cooking method to cook their eggs. Cooks say that sous vide is a better way to cook eggs. I don’t have a sous vide machine at home and I don’t see myself getting one anytime soon. But I find that cooking eggs in my Instant Pot work REALLY well! I actually bought my pressure cooker after a friend talked about how easy it was to hard-boil fresh farm eggs and have the shells peel off easily. If you have ever had fresh eggs and boiled on the stove, you’ll know that the shells don’t peel off and if you try, the peel takes most of the hard-boiled egg with it leaving a HUGE mess. Luckily, I find that it’s easy to replicate the egg bites that Starbucks serves in my instant pot! If you want an easier time at home then go with a pressure cooker too because all you have to do is put your eggs in there and set the timer. Are Starbucks Egg Bites Keto?Some people think that egg bites you get in-store are keto-friendly because they contain eggs, cheese, and bacon. However, the original (in-store) Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites with Bacon & Gruyere have 9 grams of carbs! Eggs themselves do not raise blood sugar levels; however, many ingredients used in commercial production have carbs, which would make them not keto-friendly. The bacon, for example in the original Starbucks version, has cane sugar listed on the nutrition facts on the website. You can make your own version without the sugar and carbs in the Instant Pot and they’ll be much more ketogenic friendly. This homemade egg bites recipe I’m sharing with you is definitely keto and is a good source of protein. Note: I buy my beef and pork via Butcherbox, a high-quality meat delivery service with grass-fed beef and pasture raised pork and chicken. Their bacon is keto-friendly!

Easy Keto Breakfast RecipeA better way to enjoy eggs is when they are made from scratch and contain no added sugar or gluten. A lot of people react negatively to the idea of a low-carb diet because they associate it with eating boring food that tastes bad, but this couldn’t be further from the truth! These bacon and gruyere bites I am sharing are delicious!!!! My copycat recipe is super simple with just 4 ingredients and it is easy to make them keto-friendly. Opt for keto-friendly bacon and block cheese that you shred yourself. Pre-shredded bagged cheese often has added corn or rice starch to prevent caking. These anti-caking agents are considered not keto-friendly. Want more breakfast recipes? Try these other egg recipes:

How to Make Egg Bites
Can You Make Egg Bites Ahead of Time?Yes, you can make these ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. I find it best to wrap in plastic wrap and then in a glass airtight container. How Do you Reheat Egg Bites in a Microwave?You can reheat egg bites in the microwave for about 30 seconds when at room temperature or for 60-90 seconds when refrigerated.
Can You Freeze Egg Bites?It is not recommended to freeze egg bites. Freezing them will result in a rubbery texture which is a bit off-putting.
