Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites are a soft and velvety smooth breakfast that are delicious and easy to eat on the go. They also cost more than I am willing to spend on breakfast for an entire week, let alone four bites of food.
It took me five attempts to get this recipe just right. I made all the silly mistakes so you can get these perfect each and every time.
Do I Need Any Special Equipment?
For this recipe, I used my Instant Pot and this silicone egg mold. If you are using an Instant Pot, you’ll need to have at least the 6-quart version.
No Instant Pot? Read below. No egg mold? You can use 4 oz mason jars; just read the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post for details. If you are new to pressure cooking and the Instant Pot, check out this post on recipes for Instant Pot beginners.
How Do You Reheat Sous Vide Egg Bites?
They keep well in the fridge for up to a week or the freezer for two months. To reheat refrigerated bites in the microwave for 30 seconds. Frozen bites will take 60-90 seconds.
Pro Tips/Recipe Notes
- Allow to fully cool before storing in an air-tight container in the fridge. Warm egg bites will “sweat” as they cool and create condensation, causing them to get gooey. Even when fully cooled, I still like to place the bites on a paper towel or clean cloth inside the container.
- When I make a big batch I will leave three or four bites in a container in the fridge and freeze the rest.
- I used Nut Pods because it helps give that silky egg texture that works so well in quiches, and keeps this dairy-free. If you have a favorite non-dairy milk you want to use, then go for it. Don’t need this to be non-dairy and want to use regular milk? Go for it!
- I highly recommend using cooking spray on the silicone mold. The versions I made without this step were really hard to remove from the mold.
- The egg mold comes with a lid. Don’t cook with this on. Honestly, I don’t use them at all.
- I used frozen organic broccoli for this recipe. Microwave for 60 seconds before adding to the blender. If you have leftover frozen broccoli, you’ll love making some Roasted Frozen Broccoli later in the week for a fast and delicious side dish.
- Frozen spinach will work great too! Learn how to freeze spinach in this post.
Variations:
- Add 1 tbsp of pesto (try homemade Whole30 pesto) to the mixture and chopped ham for “green eggs and ham” bites.
- Serve with Cilantro Chimichurri for awesome pizazz.
- Make an all-veggie version with chopped pieces of your favorite veg.
- Add 1/2 cup of your favorite shredded cheese to the blender before processing for a cheesy version. Note: this is not Whole30 compliant.
- Pizza bites! A few diced red peppers or sundried tomatoes, mozzarella, and chopped pepperoni. Note: this is not Whole30 compliant.

Made these today as part of my meal prep. Such a fun way to mix up breakfast and get that Starbuck craving for less money (and probably better ingredients).
Is the almond and coconut flavor of the Nut Pods creamer noticeable in the final product?
Nope, not noticeable at all. Though if you have another milk that you like to use, feel free.
These are SO good!
I have never tried the Starbucks version, but I was looking for a different way to eat eggs and this fit the bill. The texture is so different from other egg options – so light, but also filling. I had to make some substitutions with what I had available to me, but it turned out well. I didn’t have broccoli so I used 1/4 cup of green onion tops and I used leftover ham instead of bacon.
I ordered the molds from Amazon because I can also use them to freeze items, like sauces, in small 1/2 cup quantities. Now that I know I like the recipe these will be getting a lot of use.
Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Jean, I’m totally tickled that you liked them so much! I love your substitutions; I’m always thrilled when people take my recipes and make them “theirs”.
The molds work great for homemade pizza sauce too! Each “bite” will freeze enough sauce for two pizzas.
I’m so excited to try this!!!! What is the best way to thaw/reheat after freezing? Thanks!!!
I have left them in a covered container in the fridge overnight and then microwaved them!
