Roasted Red Pepper, Spinach & Vegetarian Bacon Egg Bites
These Roasted Red Pepper, Spinach and Vegetarian Bacon Egg Bites are a perfect at-home alternative to Starbucks' sous vide egg bites, and you don't even need fancy equipment!
I have a confession to make: I'm a Starbucks junkie and I have been for a long time! I absolutely love their latte macchiatos and I treat myself to one a few times a week. As much as I go there, it has always been for coffee, not any of their food products. However, a few months ago after I finished a long hard workout, I stopped in for my typical venti latte and I was starving. I took a look at the menu to see if there was something that was not over the top in calories and discovered their Sous Vide Egg Bites. I was in heaven! The egg bites were so delicious that I began ordering them along with my macchiato several times a week, which became an expensive habit. So in an effort to curb my pricey addiction, I decided to try and make something similar at home. This is what I came up with: Roasted Red Pepper, Spinach and Vegetarian Bacon Egg Bites.
Sous Vide Cooking
The egg bites from Starbucks are made using the French "sous vide" cooking technique. Sous vide means "under vacuum" in French and the term came from the vacuum sealed bags that the food is placed in before cooking. However, in today's world of cooking, "sous vide" has been broadened to mean anything cooked in a temperature controlled water bath. Unfortunately, I do not have an expensive sous vide oven, so initially I thought I would not be able to make my favorite indulgence at home. However, after a little research, I was able to make them by creating a water bath with boiling water in a baking dish. This method worked great and I have to say that my egg bites turned out to be every bit as good (if not better...thanks to the extra cheese), then the Starbucks version!

I was seriously JUST looking for a recipe like this and here you are with the perfect one. I can't wait to make these.
These look soooo yummy! I've tried the Sous Vide from Starbucks and they were yummy but sooo overpriced! I like this affordable option better 🙂
That is a great breakfast, sounds like I have a new favorite weekend dish for the family. I will share this with everyone who has had this at Starbuck's.
These look soooo good! They're so pretty and colorful on top... it looks like a confetti of veggies and yumminess! Can't wait to try to make these!
These egg bites really look delicious. I like the fact that they are good for you and prepared in a healthy way. It's a great breakfast food.
I am sure the cheese is crucial in these. I wonder about the veggie bacon - any other ideas as a sub?
{you know I am going to try full-on bacon at least once}
These look so good! I've never tried the Starbucks version but their food is usually so expensive. :[ Definitely can't wait to try these! :]
I love these, they're perfect on-the-go breakfast cups and I will definitely be trying to make them myself. Especially with a busy schedule coming up!!
These look great! I've trie to make something like it before but it didn't come out this great. I'll have to try your recipe!
Such a great idea for an on the go breakfast idea. Starbucks is overly priced on their foods, I agree. So it would be very cool to be able to make these at home and maybe still go to Starbucks for my coffee.
These look delicious and I like that they are cup size. I will try to make them for breakfast one day!
Awesome! I live too far away from Starbucks to indulge very often, and I have a gazillion ramekins from a dinner party I threw years ago, so I will absolutely be making these!
When I was working there was a starbucks across the street, so before work I'd grab a breakfast sandwich and a drink to go. I loved it. I don't do it often now that I'm home but occasionally I'll drop in! I think my husband would love these!
oh wow these look perfect for a quick breakfast idea or for a nice brunch. I love everything in there too like the roasted red pepper!
I would like try this at home. I found it presentable and delicious as well!
This sounds like a great breakfast! I love individual breakfasts, especially ones you can make ahead of time.
I have been thinking about doing Whole 30 for the month and this sounds like the perfect recipe! I eat eggs every day for breakfast and this recipe incorporates my favorite food and such a creative way!
These look great and they make the perfect grab and go breakfast!
These egg bites look so perfect and I like that they are vegetarian my mom and my step dad are vegetarians and I know they would really enjoy this. I also know my brother would love them, perfect for a weekend brunch or breakfast. Thanks for the wonderful recipe pinning for the future.
Like you until recently, I've never had any food at Starbucks. Your egg bites are really cute. So great that you were able to take something you like and replicate it. Much better than spending more of your hard earned cash at Starbucks. I'm addicted to their coffee too!
i make something similar using a muffin tin and its great for quick breakfast.
These look tasty. The ingredients would add so much flavor to the eggs. I will have to try these.
Oh wow, these look YUMMY. I've had sbux's egg bites but they're so pricy! I'm going to have to try this.
I am a vegatarian and this looks too yummy to me. I dont like spinach much bt it looks very tasty in your pictures.
Happy Holidays to you

We have been talking about getting a Sous Vide machine. Love the process and of course all things eggs
So here is where I must confess that I do not drink coffee. I know, I know, I am probably the only blogger who is not fueled by coffee. I have never tried food at Starbucks either, but your at home version looks so tasty! Extra cheese and bacon is a definite must! NOM NOM NOM

The Starbucks versions are one of my favorite travel foods, I always stop at Starbucks in the airport and they're not too heavy, but enough protein to keep me energized through my journey! I'll definitely try to make these at home now 🙂
These look wonderful. We are not vegetarian but these sound so delicious and like a great way to get my daughters to eat more veggies!
I never had the egg bites from Starbucks before. Yours looks delish! They would pack very well for lunches. I never had the egg bites from Starbucks before.
The Starbucks egg bites are always so tempting, but I've never tried them because they didn't seem worth the price. These look great though!
I have a very similar recipe minus the bacon. My family loves it and I love the convenience.
