Elevated Egg Bites
March 17, 2025
Twin Cities food writer and creator of My Everyday Table takes a coffee shop favorite to the next level. Packed with protein and tons of flavor, her Elevated Egg Bites are easy to prep and perfect for busy mornings.
A popular coffee shop item inspired these egg bites, but we’ve elevated them with a few special flavors. And since we’re making them at home, they’re a fraction of the price! With just four basic ingredients plus salt and pepper, this recipe is easy to whip up for a nutritious breakfast or grab-and-go snack — and is great for meal prepping as well. The cottage cheese adds an extra boost of protein and a signature fluffy texture, while the melty dill havarti contributes a creamy texture and delicious flavor.
Simply store the bites in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to serve, reheat them in the microwave until cooked through (15-30 seconds for refrigerated bites and 20-40 seconds for frozen). Enjoy them as a protein component to your breakfast, alongside toast or oatmeal and your favorite coffee.
