Healthy Starbucks Egg White Bites Recipe
Have you tried the Sous Vide egg bites from Starbucks? They’re kind of a craze and they’re pretty delicious as far as breakfast on the go is considered..the downside is that they’re expensive and not all that healthy.
You might have seen my original post for Healthy Starbucks Egg Bites and now I finally have a great recipe for the Starbucks egg white bites to share with you.
Are these like the Sous Vide Egg Bites from Starbucks?
Yep! These are a copycat recipe that has been lightened up and made easier so you can cook them in the Instant Pot or in the oven. No need for any fancy Sous Vide equipment or a water bath!
These are not cooked via Sous Vide but they have the same texture and consistency as the Sous Vide egg bites from Starbucks so hopefully that will help give you an idea of what to expect in terms of flavors and textures!
Are these healthy Starbucks egg white bites?

How can I make these Starbucks egg white bites in the Instant Pot?
Grease the molds before you begin filling them!!
- Wrap the turkey bacon around the inside of each cup of the egg bite molds.
- Mix the spinach, tomatoes, and bell peppers together in a bowl. Then spoon the vegetables into each egg bite cup (fill them about 3/4 of the way full).
- Blend together the egg whites, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, mozzarella, and basil for 30 seconds.
- Pour the egg mixture into each cup until full. Cover the egg bite tray with foil.
- Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the Instant Pot insert and place a trivet on the bottom. Lower the egg bite trays (silicone mold) into the Instant Pot and stack them slightly off center of each other so that the cups are not on top of one other.
- Close the lid and turn the pressure valve to sealing.
- Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes using the steam function. Let the pressure release naturally.
- Remove the egg bite trays from the Instant Pot. Uncover and flip them upside down to cool on a baking sheet or cutting board.
- When the egg bites have cooled, lift the silicone tray to remove the egg bites from the mold.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to a month. To reheat, just pop in the microwave for 30 seconds – 1 minute.
Can I use liquid egg whites for this recipe?
I have never tried to make them that way so I can’t say for sure. I do know that liquid egg whites don’t always bake the same as regular ones separated from eggs themselves.
That being said I wouldn’t recommend swapping out the egg whites for liquid egg whites unless you are willing to eat some flopped egg white bites!

Is there a way to also make these egg white bites in the oven?
If you are looking for an easy way to make these Starbucks sous vide egg bites at home you can use a silicone egg mold in your Instant Pot or just do it this way and make them in the oven in a muffin tin!
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Make sure the oven is up to temperature so the cooking times are accurate!
- Wrap the turkey bacon around the inside of each cup of a cupcake pan or egg bite mold.
- Mix the spinach, tomatoes, and bell peppers together in a bowl. Then spoon the vegetables each cup of the cupcake pan, filling about 3/4 of the way full.
- Blend together the egg whites, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, mozzarella, and basil for 30 seconds.
- Pour the egg mixture into each cup until full. Cover the pan with foil.
- Place a baking tray full of water on the bottom rack of the oven. Place the egg bites in the oven on the top rack.
- Cook the egg bites for 20 minutes then remove and let the egg bites cool for at least 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
- Be careful opening the oven, there will be lots of steam. Enjoy!
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to a month. To reheat just pop in the microwave for 30 seconds – 1 minute.

Becca says
You’re so welcome! I hope you enjoy them!
Nellie Tracy says
You can guarantee these will be a regular at our house from here on out! They are so good!
Becca says
Yay! So glad you like them!
Liz says
Have you tried these in the InstaPot without the turkey bacon? I’d prefer them that way but didn’t want to try it if you’ve tested it out.
Becca says
I tried, but the egg whites kept sticking to the silicone molds :-/
Darlene H Morley says
Why are these 74 more calories than the Starbucks egg white bites? Does the turkey add that much more calories?
Thanks,
Becca says
I don’t know why they’re more calories, to me it’s more important that the ingredients are real and that usually comes with higher calories. The turkey bacon can definitely add calories. :)
Julia says
I made these and mine came out slimy and wet… any suggestions???
Becca says
Maybe try precooking your bacon before? That’s all I can think of–maybe the brand was “wetter?”
