Feta Egg Bites – The Ultimate Make-Ahead Breakfast

If you’re looking for a super easy, tasty, and healthy breakfast that you can prep ahead, you have to try my Feta Egg Bites! I made a batch on Sunday, thinking they’d last all week, but they were gone by Wednesday! Yup, they’re that good.

These fluffy, cheesy egg bites are just like the ones at Starbucks (but better!), and you can add all your favorite mix-ins. Trust me, once you make these, you’ll want them on repeat!

Method

Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the oven is hot and ready by the time you’ve finished prepping your egg bites, so they’ll cook evenly and on schedule.

Grease the Muffin Tin

Next, take your 12-cup muffin tin and grease each cup really well using either cooking spray or a light coating of oil. This is super important egg bites tend to stick to the pan, and greasing it well will make them easier to pop out after baking.

Blend the Base

Now it’s time to make the creamy base. In a blender, add the 8 eggs, 1 cup of cottage cheese, and ½ cup of shredded jalapeño Monterey Jack cheese (or whatever cheese you prefer). Blend everything until the mixture is completely smooth. This step is key because blending helps add air and make the final bites extra fluffy.

Pour into Muffin Cups

Once your mixture is smooth, carefully pour it into the greased muffin cups, dividing it evenly between all 12. Don’t worry if it doesn’t look full to the top these will puff up a bit as they bake.

Add Toppings

Now the fun part is customizing your egg bites! Sprinkle in your favorite toppings, like shredded kale, spinach, chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, ham, or bacon. These mix-ins will add bursts of flavor and color. Then, top each cup with a little crumbled feta cheese for a tangy, salty finish.

Season

Give each filled cup a quick pinch of salt and pepper. You don’t need much since the cheeses are already flavorful, but a touch of seasoning really brings everything together.

Create Moisture in the Oven

Here’s a game-changing trick to get those café-style, soft, and fluffy egg bites: Place an oven-safe dish filled with water on the bottom rack of your oven. This helps create steam during baking, which keeps the egg bites moist and prevents them from getting rubbery or dry. It’s a small step that makes a big difference!

Bake

Place your muffin tin on the middle rack of the oven (above the water dish) and bake for about 30 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the tops are lightly golden and the centers are set. They might puff up while baking, but they’ll settle down as they cool.

Cool and Remove

Once they’re done, take the muffin tin out of the oven and let the egg bites cool for a few minutes in the pan. This helps them firm up and makes them easier to remove. After a short rest, gently use a spoon or butter knife to loosen the edges and lift them out.
