If you could have the Starbucks Bacon & Gruyere egg bites everyday, would you? I know I would! However, the Gruyere cheese egg bites Starbucks has would cost me $25 per week, and that’s before ordering a drink.

Here is an easy & savory Gruyere Prosciutto Egg Bites recipe that will save you money and they’re just as tasty!

This recipe is all about eggs in prosciutto cups with gruyere cheese.

Super Simple Ingredients

This recipe is so tasty and so easy to make in the morning before work. If I don’t meal prep and make this on a Sunday evening, I put all the ingredients together and let it bake while I take my morning shower on Monday.

The main ingredients include:

Eggs
Prosciutto
Cottage Cheese (for fluffy egg bites that rise)
Gruyere Cheese

The gruyere cheese in the picture is super rich in flavor. If you want a more mild flavor for your egg bites, try the Whole Food brand shredded gruyere cheese, it’s lighter but still has a yummy taste. I prefer shredded cheese for this recipe because I do NOT have time to grate my cheese in the morning before work…

How Are These Egg Bites So Healthy?

My Gruyere Prosciutto Egg Bites come packed with flavor and is about 100 less calories than the popular bacon and gruyere egg bites at Starbucks!

Instead of using bacon, we are using prosciutto. Three pieces of prosciutto can account for the same calories as one piece of bacon.
We are adding NO salt! The prosciutto and gruyere come with their own sodium which is more than enough for our egg bites.

How To Make Spicy & Savory Gruyere Prosciutto Egg Bites

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Line the muffin cups with prosciutto, I recommend a half a piece to a full piece per cup.

Blend together the eggs, cottage cheese, and spices. You can use a traditional blender or a hand blender. I used a hand blender.

Pour in the gruyere cheese and mix together.

Fill up to halfway in each muffin cup with the mix. The cottage cheese will make the egg bites rise.

DO NOT fill the cups all the way! You’ve been warned, lol.

Bake for 20 minutes until the egg has risen and the prosciutto is flaking off the muffin cups. Then, enjoy your delicious Gruyere Prosciutto Egg Bites! I eat 2 for breakfast along with yummy berries or citrusy fruits like orange slices.

Notes

- If you do not have a blender, you can mix it together with a spoon but just know there will be some clumps of cottage cheese. It will still be tasty because I’ve made this without a blender as well.
- Water can be added to help make the texture more fluffy, but it is not required.
- Calorie count is an estimate.
