Keto Starbucks EGG BITE Battle! - The BEST Low Carb Egg Bites Recipe?
It seems that almost everyone has a copycat recipe for the popular Starbucks Sous-Vide Egg Bites. Everyone is looking to lower the carb count AND lower the price! I've selected two different recipes to test and each use a slightly different technique. If you make these low carb breakfast bites, there's no need to dig out the sous-vide machine for either of these recipes because they're both made in the oven. Which keto egg bite recipe comes out on top? Let's find out!

the biggest tip i’ve learned from making mine (started off with bobby’s and gradually modified over time), is the more you blend the eggs, the more they fall and the denser they get. 20 seconds was way too long. blend all the other ingredients first, then add the eggs and just pulse a few times. they should NOT be frothy, and that’s probably why keto connects version was creamier (in addition to the foil). hope that helps someone!
I appreciate your taking the time to comment. This makes sense, thank you!
My egg bite recipe is 6 eggs, 1 cup cottage cheese, 1/4 tsp salt, mixed in the blender until smooth. I use regular size silicone muffin cups, put a little gruyere in the bottom, fill about half full with egg mixture, add either ham or bacon (finely diced) and top with a bit more gruyere. Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes (until the tops dome slightly on all the egg bites. I get 18, a serving for me is 2 to 3. They freeze beautifully. I put two or three in snack size zipper bags and freeze, thaw overnight in the fridge, reheat for 30 seconds in the microwave. Super creamy and delish. Much than S Bucks with all their potato starch and other crap. And much faster than sous vide. Gonna have to add a bit on onion when I make the again this weekend. And yes, I make them every weekend 😂.
Are you sure you get 18 from just 6/eggs?
Try green onion version too. A lot less carb than onion and similar flavor.
Sounds great, will these too!
@@lesliescully3544 Yep! 18 about half filled (maybe a little more than half full) with egg mixture.
@@lesliescully3544 that cup of cottage cheese adds the volume to hit up to 18 items.
Wes you have so much charisma, i could watch you sell anything... you need a TV show... love ya
100%!😊
I put water in the empty compartments of the tin when I bake. It may not matter much in a water bath, but it helps with even baking without.
Great tip! Also stops any stay oil from burning and sticking to the pan!
Omg I made them, instant pot method, so good. My partner ate some, loved them, then I told them what was in them ...as soon as he heard cottage cheese he decided they were "healthy" and boom! no longer liked them! Yes feeding him is like trying to get a toddler to eat 😂
🙄 That’s really sad behavior from an adult. I feel for you. 😂
On sous vide setting? how many minutes?
TIP! Aldi sells bags of shredded Gruyere/Swiss blend.
Egg bites always feel like a lot of work to me for some reason. However, as I watched you I realized that my method of doing it is the only way I’d want to do it: I make my recipe and pour the egg mixture over a half slice of bacon in a 4 oz mason (jelly) jar, put the lid on (not too tightly, but tight enough so the water can’t get in and gases can get out) and drop them into a sous vide bath. I can make a mountain of then, and they keep a long time in the fridge. Super efficient way to do it, and nothing beats the custard-like texture a sous vide bath produces. (Thought having something like a custard was the point of sous vide?) I was absolutely shocked to see how many carbs the Starbucks version has! They add all these starches to it, I suspect because they are not really made sous vide and they need the starches to produce the custard texture.
I want egg bites that are as close to the Starbucks version as possible. Are yours pretty close? What recipe are you using?
@@CindaMurphyRealEstate The recipe I use is from a web site called “This Old Gal” (except that I just use cheddar instead of fancy cheese) but I really think any good custard-based recipe will be as good as Starbucks (and maybe better) if you do it sous vide vs. doing it in the oven.
Hi Wes. I tried Chris Cooking Nashville’s carnivore quiche. He puts gelatin in his and the texture was amazing. I think you should take a look at his recipe as well. Much love! ❤️
Beef gelatin?
@@mottgirl13 Probably (I haven't watched it yet). But, I'm sure any unflavored gelatin would work.
I use a little bit of green onion.
The texture of the second batch should be silky because of the lower, slower cooking
I suggest putting the pan of water on the oven rack first then place the pan with the eggs in it. That way you don't need to worry about spilling the water. I know the recipe calls for covering both pans with the foil. Maybe you should have only covered the egg pan to keep the eggs from being watery. I've made a cheesecake in the instant pot and the cheesecake pan gets covered with foil both top and bottom. That prevents the steam from falling on the cheesecake.
My recipe is similar to the flavcity recipe, but I don't add the shredded cheese to the blender. I add it to the cups with the bacon. I think the onion will be a Fantastic addition to these when I meal prep this weekend. 😊
I would be interested in seeing you do the Keto Connect ones in the instant pot. I wonder how well they turn out. For those of us that have that egg bit accessory, it would certainly be the easiest method.
The ketoConnect done in the Instant Pot come out better than any other method, and taste really good.
@@greeneyes2256 Is there any sort of instant potty's directions I didn't see any on the keto connect website
I'd like to see that also
@greeneyes2256 how please?
We use silicone cupcake liners for our egg bites. They are a lot easier to clean than the cupcake pan! I get it that there may be a slight texture tradeoff, but I don't care that much
My recipe is for 12 muffin silicone cups. Large deep baking pan. Use soften butter to lightly grease cups. Put a small amount of tilling and a combination of baby Swiss and sharp cheddar. In a blender 7 eggs 2 tablespoons heavy cream 1/2 block 4 oz soften cream cheese full fat soften in microwave 10 sec. Salt 1/8 teaspoon and a pinch of pepper. Blend on high until frothy and light. Pour into cups. Muffin pan should be already on the deep baking sheet. Place in preheated 350 oven with rack pulled outpouring nailing water to almost the top close oven a bake u til just set. About 30 min. Do not over bake. Just barely set. Yummy. Cream cheese way better than cottage cheese. I’ve tried many
Thanks! Will try!!
One benefit of your recipe is that it uses cream cheese. I can’t eat dairy, and I can get really good vegan cream cheese. But there’s no such thing as vegan cottage cheese.
Could take the foil off for the last few minutes to dry them out
Good idea!
Or only cover the actual egg bite pan. I make custard in an egg steamer. I cover it then dish with foil then I put it in the steamer then put the lid on. It keeps the steam out
You needed to have the aluminum foil facing the other way. Foil should always be put shinny side in. It reflects the heat inward better than the other side. These seem easier than I would have thought. Thanks!
*The fluffy texture and customizable fillings make them a perfect grab-and-go keto breakfast or snack.*
Looks fun! My favorite cheese is Asiago but you're right any cheese should be tasty.
I have been wanting to try my egg bites with a few tablespoons of Victoria's flour and a smidge of baking powder for a test run. Maybe I will give it a go for a biscuit-y eggbite Saturday morning.... make hubby a guinea pig.
Victoria commented here that she is going to post a video later today with her own recipe for egg bites. Can’t wait to see what she does!
@@HighfalutinLowCarb.... that is crazy awesome.... I did not see her comment.... what a coinkydinky.
My grandfather always added a hint of baking powder to his scrambled eggs to make them fluffier. Seems like a good addition to the Keto Connect recipe.
Thank you for another great battle video, dear Wes 👍👍👍😊❤!
Nice greetings from Germany,
Ela 🤗
Love you Wes as always. Never had a Starbucks egg bite, but knew as soon as I saw your eyes which one I would choose to make....Panera has a cheese souffle that I love, maybe do a battle on that? LOL too good to be low carb!
You are awesome. I just today made the flavcity muffins but now I will seek out the keto connect recipe and fire it up. Your reaction at the end sealed the deal! I was thrilled to know how emphatic you were in judging the two. Thanks for your research!
Ever since I discovered cooking eggs in a water bath, I’ve been doing ever since. It makes the eggs so silky and doesn’t dry them out. Maybe the Keto Konect could be cooked without foil, but still the water bath.
Wes, one of these days you'll find I have some of the best keto/carnivore recipes this internet has to offer🤣 and remember always sift…. Even your comments 😂
Yes! ❤
@@jdmosaics thanks 😊 ❤️🔥
I’m so excited about this video! I’m back on the wagon. Thanks Wes;)
Onions have water too, so that might have helped with watery.
Good point!
Love this! And wait to try it.
Good point! I'll try this but will dry the onion by pattinf w paper towel and in oven while pre-heslating the oven
Today must be my lucky day because two of my favorite keto channels posted egg bites recipes. I bought some egg bites from Trader Jo’s this morning and thought to myself, I really need to learn how to make these 😊
I use a basic recipe (1/2 c cottage cheese, 4 eggs, s/p) for making 7 round cups, add a dollop of chili oil sauce, a thin slice of onion, and put in my food processor. Then I pour into silicone bagel molds, adding cheese and ham. Using bagel molds it makes 12 flattish ones, perfect for making breakfast biscuits
I was thinking as you were making the first one was to just blend the egg, salt, possibly corrage cheese, but i would leave both cheeses out and mix them in after the eggs are blended.
Egg bites are just about the only thing I can eat at Starbucks, and I've been meaning to make them at home. Danke!
The egg bites at Starbucks have all kinds of starches in them, potato starch being one. Definitely healthier to make at home. It's just eggs, cottage cheese, bit of salt, bacon or ham, and cheese (gruyere is the creamiest but I've used cheddar and they were still great). Takes 15-20 minutes to bake and you can make a ton and freeze them. I make them once a week and eat 2-3 every day. 😊
Hi, Wes! Always a pleasure watching your testing of good recipes! Just wanted to mention, pouring hot water into the lower pan AFTER placing them in the oven can be a bit safer and easier. 🤗
Thanks Wes gonna check out that coffee.. and the egg bited need something new.......BTW LOOKIN GOOD really Its really noticable You can notice the difference from the last video you did to this ...Julianna NC
Thanks for the kind words! 🧡
I would think wrapping in the foil would keep them a lot more moist, and less dry, although I’ll bet they’re both pretty good
As always wonderful to see you and learn from you
You’re looking fantastic so vital and healthy
❤️❤️❤️❤️
This review inspires me to try something new. Thank you, Wes!
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching, Katherine!
To be fair to Bobby, this was a copycat Starbucks battle, right? The ones at Starbucks don’t have streaks of melted cheese. There’s a difference between the ones you prefer vs the closest version to Starbucks. With that being said, I completely agree that being able to discern each component is important and I’m sure I would prefer the keto connect ones as well.
Love egg bite and have used the water without the aluminum foil, and it worked good
Great video. Thanks for all the thought and work you obviously put into your videos.
Thank you for trying these for us!
Thanks for watching!
Love to make my egg bites in the InstaPot! They are smaller, but that means 3 bites instead of 2. 😉 High proteins cottage cheese makes a difference to me so in it goes. I’ll use less cheese (frozen then shredded) and find air fryer ham cubes hits the spot instead of bacon.
So add the onions but cook like the first set. I tend to prefer dryer over creamier.
That would definitely work! (Though, I MUCH preferred the creamier version!)
I always enjoy your videos! I learn so much. I have gone back many times to watch old videos, and can I say that you look great. Keep up the good job.
I have an idea with the keto connect version. When you wrap it with the foil what happens if you leave a small opening so the steam can escape. Therefore there wouldn't be any standing water on top of the egg bites.🤔🤔I want to also add a suggestion. Combine the egg and cottage cheese in the blender. And then do all the other ingredients like keto connect and see what happens.
I used 4 eggs and the cottage cheese in blender. Ad cheese and onions, etc to the cups themselves and used the 7 cup Pressure cooker and it filled up all 7. they were so good and tender in the pressure cooker and was done so fast.
How long please?
I REALLY appreciate your honesty in your opinions! I can trust it!!!!
Thank you, Charlene! 🧡 Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks Wes, I always appreciate and enjoy your videos. I usually dont like egg bites cuz dry but want to try Keto connect. Maybe in IP also.😊
Now I know what i was missing for breakfast this morning!
Hi, Sarah! 🧡🧡
The solution to getting the egg bites out of the cup? SILICONE CUPCAKE LINERS! I use mine all the time for low-carb baking. Paper cupcake liners are terrible for low-carb cake recipes, and I'll bet the keto-connect bites will do wonderfully in them.
Gott try this thank you Wes for the time you put into sharing fun recipes with us all! Most appreciated for the last 5yrs watching ❤
Like Rome, these are going to rise then fall. Great Dad joke!😂
😂😂 Thank you for appreciating it! LOL
I dont usually use my "brownie" muffin pan because no matter how much I spray them, the eggs stick in the corners. I prefer a round muffin tin
Yeah I didn’t see that coming. With the wet presentation I expected those to be gross. Surprise!!
I was a little shocked! (Someone here in the comments mentioned that taking off the foil the last few minutes of baking might help dry them off a bit, and that sounds like a great idea!)
@@HighfalutinLowCarb that’s a good idea for sure. Did you attempt to pat them dry with a paper towel or something when you pulled them out or was it sort of absorbed into the top layer of it?
I find the silicone baking cups don't over bake them, and slide out when completely cooled.
If the pan you used for water oxidized from the eggs, you might line it with aluminum foil in the foture. The discoloration attracts to the aluminum
I made my first attempt at egg bites last week and carefully buttered the muffin tin before pouring in the egg mixture and baking. After repeated rounds of soaking and scrubbing, the pan is still not clean. 😒 I’m pretty sure I’ll be using silicone from now on.
Wondering if I can make this in my instant pot
Following
nice video wes. i make mine in the instant pot and they turn out little more congealed and custardy than keto connect but they don't have the moisture on top. i agree that bobby's is a little over processed for these delicate bites. i made mine before i ever tried starbucks and i'm def not a fan of theirs.
I made the ones from keto connect. Amazing! thank you.
Victoria's Keto Kitchen just released a Supreme Keto Egg Bites recipe on her channel. Do a comparison between her recipe and the winner here (Keto Connect). The little machine Victoria used looks like it makes the whole water thing much easier, too.
Matt and Meg, they disappeared from their channel. Miss them😢
yessssssssssssssssss thank u
Thank you for this awesome demo. So very helpful.
These look absolutely delicious. Great low carb choice.
I would do Keto Connect water bath but do not tent with foil. I have water bathed Flav City but didn't tent and they were fine
The second recipe is a lot like my recipe for quiche. As quiche, I really enjoy it. Can’t imagine it as an egg bite. (Actually, don’t really care for egg bites, so I guess I’m a bit biased. 😊)
Another great video. Thanks Wes!
Nice job Wes!!
Thanks!
I always love your videos. You are my go to guy. I wonder how they would turn out if I didn't cover with tinfoil and maybe cook with the water on the lower rack? I thing I may try that. The ketoconnect ones are the ones I'm going to make.
I have a egg bite maker add in egg and whatever you want in the egg bite so meat cheese veggies whatever then cook them and done easy as f$#%😂
Gooey cheese inside with onion! Yum - Keto Connect for sure.
What if you baked the rounds like you did the square ones? I would do that.
Beef n Butter Girl makes the best Egg Pudding!! Yummy!!
Bobby just posted a new video for egg bites. Wonder how the recipe changed. Guess I'll stop there next. Wink!
Maybe make is silicon molds. Thats what the recipe used
Love Egg bites. I will try both recipes👍
There should be a drinking game. Ever time you don’t plug in your appliance lol. Jk. Great recipe choices. I need to do this.
Since they're kinda like a souffle...Wouldn't it work out with souffle/ custard cups?
yay!!! thank you
Sitting here watching you wearing my high falutin t-shirt❤
Nice! Thanks for watching, Lola Belle! :-)
I would just make the first recipe and this add onions to it win win
Did I hear a greased muffin paper? I'm asking because I'm struggling with muffin cupcakes liners not peeling off. I've even spent extra for the parchment paper ones. Is it just me?
Thanks for sharing.. I like egg bites..
WHOLY CRAP!! 😳Ur TINY!! I used to follow U years ago. I’ve been off keto a while and coming back to it so of course i had to check in with one of my favorite TH-camrs…. UUUU!! 😂 How much weight have U lost?!!!?! Lookin good! 👍 thanks for the great content.
Do you have any recipes using egglife products?
God bless you!
im going to try the starbuck ones, the keto connect I tried them and didn't like them
I don't know that I'll make these. I prefer my eggs kinda runny/ gooey.
These may be egg bites but neither compares to the Starbucks products. I’d be willing to have more carbs to get closer to that taste and texture. I bought sous vide machine on Black Friday JUST for this recipe.
Cheers dude
You’re my favorite!!
Hey Wes, not sure why, but this video didn't show up on my subs page. I saw it by clicking through from IG. Not sure if a glitch on my end or yours? But wanted you to know in case it's happening to others.
Yum!
Why would you add onions to the second recipe if it didn't call for them? How is that a fair comparison?
It DID call for them. I’m not sure why you think it didn’t. Did you read their recipe before commenting?
Today Victoria's video was making egg bites. She added her 2.0 flour to the ones she made.
She also introduced a new gadget kitchen device for making egg bites.

Recipe needs garlic and herbs
Bet it tastes eggy.
Yep. They’re literally called “egg bites.” They’re supposed to. :-)
