Potato Chive Egg Bites (Starbucks Copycat Recipe)
These Potato Chive Egg Bites are a creamy and fluffy Starbucks copycat recipe made with eggs, potatoes, cottage cheese, cheddar, and fresh chives. Perfect for meal prep, freezer-friendly, and great for a quick grab-and-go breakfast or snack!
Servings: 18 egg bites
Ingredients
- ½ pound Yukon gold potatoes diced into small pieces
- 6 large eggs
- 1 small onion finely diced
- ¼ cup chives finely diced
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup finely chopped spinach tightly packed, chopped
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. I prefer silicone molds for this recipe, but if you’re using a 12-cavity muffin liner, grease it thoroughly so the egg bites don’t stick.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add in the potatoes + onion and season with salt and pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Combine the cottage cheese and eggs in the base of a blender and blend until creamy smooth and no chunks remain.
- Divide the potato mixture evenly in your molds/ muffin tin. Add half the cheese + all of the chives and spinach. Top with the egg mixture. Finally, top with the remaining cheese + more chives.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes. Broil for 1-2 minutes to brown tops as desired bvut watch them closely so they don’t burn.
Notes
- MOLDS: I used these silicone molds to get the classic square look of the Starbucks egg bites BUT even just a muffin liner would work well as long as you grease it. I also love these silicone muffin liners.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 30–60 seconds or in the oven at 325°F until heated through.
