Skip the Drive-Thru, Thank Me Later​

• Better than Starbucks: More sausage, more flavor, and no skimping on the good stuff.
• Budget-friendly: A whole batch costs less than two trips through the drive-thru!
• Meal prep win: Make a batch once, store in the fridge or freezer, and reheat for grab-and-go breakfasts all week.

Starbucks Italian Sausage Egg Bite Ingredients​

• Change the Cheese: You can swap out the cheese to your liking! Try gruyere, cheddar, pepper jack, or Swiss cheese.
• Veggies: You can add sautéed onions, red peppers, or spinach for extra flavor.
• Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Drain the sun-dried tomatoes well! Tip: Use a paper towel to absorb any excess oil!
• Sausage: You can use spicy or mild sausage!

Italian Sausage Egg Bite Recipe (Starbucks Copycat)​

My family is obsessed with Starbucks bacon egg bites, so when they released a sausage version, I had to try! Starbucks skimped on the sausage, so I loaded my version up! You don’t even need a fancy sous-vide machine to make these!

1. Prepare & Water Bath: Preheat the oven to 300°F with the rack placed in the center. Place a second rack just beneath it and add an empty baking sheet. Fill the empty baking sheet with water to create steam in the oven. Spray a muffin pan well with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. In a blender, add the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and dried basil.
2. Blend: Blend for 15-20 seconds until smooth.
3. Combine: Transfer the egg mixture to a large bowl and stir in the shredded cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and the cooked and crumbled Italian sausage. Use a measuring cup to scoop the egg mixture into the wells of the muffin tin, filling them no more than ⅔ of the way full. Try to disperse the sausage evenly throughout the muffin wells.
4. Bake: Place the muffin tin on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center of the egg bites is set. Remove Starbucks egg bites from the oven and let them cool completely before removing from the pan.

Alyssa’s Pro Tip​

How do I get them out of the pan? You can loosen the sides from the pan by running a small silicone spatula around the edges before gently lifting them.
