These egg white everything bites are everything, but they're also everything.

Everything Egg White Bites
So, not too get too philosophical, but what is everything?
Everything seasoning is a mix of seeds, powders, and salts mixed into a spice blend. It's delicious, and it's the best thing to happen to bagels since bread slicing (if you're from St. Louis).
If everything seasoning is great for bagels, it's INCREDIBLE for egg white bites, which become savory little handheld meals with a few shakes of the jar.
I've talked before about why I think egg white bites are so great, and this version of has become the new favorite around here. So, enough chitchat. Let's get to it!
Egg White Bites Ingredients
How does one make these egg white everything bites?
Here are the ingredients:
- Egg whites
- Nonfat cottage cheese
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Bacon
- Everything seasoning (such as Trader Joe's Everything but the Bagel Seasoning)
We'll talk substitutes in a second, but I'm here to make a rule for this recipe: do not skip the everything seasoning. Get it from the store, make your own if no stores have it, but do not skip it. It's just the rules!

Substitution Ideas
Now that we know what you're not going to substitute...
Let's talk about modifications you might feel like making to this recipe.
- Add veggies: mixing in spinach or chopped peppers is always a welcome addition, though you might have to experiment with the watery nature of those ingredients.
- Swap meats: bacon not suiting you this time? Try little sausage crumbles, a fine ground meat, or just skip it entirely.
- Egg mixture: You can incorporate some whole eggs if you want some yolky goodness.
- Other egg bites: Everything not in the cards for you? Try one of my other egg white bites recipes: this one with sausage or this one with veggies.
- Dietary restrictions: this recipe is Gluten Free. If you want it to be Dairy Free, use a DF cheese.

Are these healthy?
I'll forever include the caveat that the question of what's healthy depends a lot on you: your nutritional needs, your goals, requirements, etc.
But, to oversimplify a little, these bites have a lot of what you want (protein) and not a ton of what you don't (fat). I find these are a great way to start of a day where I can hit my nutritional goals while staying well-fed and happy.
How do you make egg white egg bites?
If you didn't catch the directions above, you can still get them in the recipe card below. The summary: it's actually pretty easy to make egg white bites. No need to be intimidated!

Storage?
I keep these bites anywhere from 3-5 days in a sealed, airtight container.
Are starbucks egg white bites low carb?
As of this writing, all Starbucks varieties have fewer than 15 grams of carbs per serving in their bites. My recipe has 5 grams, which is pretty darn good. Mostly protein and yummy flavor.
Why are these deflating?
This happens when the oven is too hot. They will puff up a lot while cooking and then shrink down and collapse when you take them out. When you take them out of the oven, let them cool really well or else they will crumble.

How do you keep these from getting stuck?
I try to spray down the muffin tin thoroughly with cooking spray before I get started. You could also try to use a really good nonstick pan or even silicone liners to avoid the stick.
How to reheat egg white bites?
I pop these bad boys in the microwave for 30-60 seconds (depending on your microwave). I find that that's all it takes for them to be hot and ready to enjoy, though I've also eaten them cold!

I find myself making these at least once a week! I use half a cup of yogurt and half a cup of cottage cheese and they taste a tad more sweet. They are so easy to make! Definitely recommend!
Mikaelyn says
These are a weekly staple for me! So so easy to make and absolutely delish. Take Jordo’s pro tip and bake them in silicone muffin tins- super fast clean up!
Jordan Smith says
Hi Mikaelyn, I'm so glad to hear these are a weekly staple for you!! YAY for easy clean up too 🙂
Rachel says
I make these weekly! Do you think these would be something you could prep a large batch of and freeze?
Jordan Smith says
Yes I think you could! I've never frozen them but I think if you freeze and then defrost with a paper towel it should be great!
ashley says
Delicious! Love this recipe and how easy it is.
Hillary says
really delicious and easy to make- my main requirement for meal prep!
Jordan Smith says
Love to hear these are easy & delicious!
Marla says
I go to these over and over again since I can add what we like and change it up each time!
ashley says
Love these! I’ve made them a few times now and they’re always delicious. So convenient to have a few days of breakfast in the fridge ready to go. I also like how easy it is to change the additions - like switching to sausage, or adding in some veggies. Thanks for this recipe!
Lindsey says
Great recipe for meal prep and delicious too!
Jordan Smith says
We usually make a double batch for meal prep so it lasts longer!!
Cindy says
These are nasty, very chewy. Total waste of egg whites.
Jordan Smith says
Hi Cindy, so sorry these didn't end up working for you. They're typically fluffy — I'm wondering how you ended up cooking them? Did you blend the cottage cheese & egg whites? Cook in the oven with a pan of water? Just trying to help you problem solve.
Lydia says
I don't really write many reviews but, I am here!
I was not one to be thrilled with the first time someone introduced me to egg white bites from Trader Joes and Starbucks, To me they were super bland and Cold and the texture, was ick.
But I wanted to try again, at home and flavor it, your recipe gave great insight. I never ate cottage cheese, had an aversion since childhood, but I still wanted to try, and change my mind, about it, and this recipe did it!!!!
I did not have bacon to add, or the everything bagel spice, but I love Lawry's Total seasoning, and used that, and sprinkled Parmesan cheese on top. I used silicone muffin cups in a muffin tray they sat perfectly and I only have 1 rack in my convection oven, so I filled a loaf pan with water, and they both fit on the same rack.
I assume the water , creates steam. Glad I read the comments cause at first I was gonna make a water bath.
Cooked 30 minutes and they smell wonderful cooking! When cooled I popped them out and wrapped them with turkey deli meat and was not disappointed at all! Pleasantly surprised,I can now eat cottage cheese! After 50 years!!!
Thank you for this recipe. I appreciate you sharing.
Jordan Smith says
Lydia, thank you for taking the time to write a review! I'm so glad you enjoyed these egg bites and were able to make accommodations based on what you have available. I love that this recipe has awakened some new taste buds for you — yay!!
sarah says
These are quick and easy, plus delicious! Love this variation of egg bites!
Meghan says
Love these! Such a good way to meal prep breakfast for the week and packed with protein!
Jordan Smith says
They're Starbucks dupes 🙂
Amber says
Could you make these using sour cream versus cottage cheese/Greek yogurt? I have sour cream in hand always but not always the other. Your help is appreciated.
Jordan Smith says
Hi Amber, I haven't tried that substitution idea so can't speak to how it will work. Although I do know people substitute sour cream for cottage cheese so I bet it would work!
Rachel says
Would I be able to make a large batch of these to freeze?
Jordan Smith says
Hi Rachel! I've never frozen these before but I'm assuming you could! You might need to experiment with reheating as I imagine the bites will get some excess liquid when defrosting. From a quick Google search it looks like people have frozen them with success and heat up with a paper towel to catch the excess liquid. Let me know if you try it!
