WARNING: Starbucks' "Sous Vide Egg Bites" are carbage

I eat these infrequently. You sometimes have to make do with what is available in your daily life.

I am aware of the carb content and plan the rest of my daily eating accordingly.

Thanks. I like the idea of adding the cheese and bacon in before you cook. I think I will use the half cream/half cottage cheese suggestion at Chef Steps.

The cool things about topping, instead of baking in, is that you can vary it from day to day and you can have crispy hot toppings. Any bacon cooked in will lose it’s crisp. My personal favorite is going 50-50 goat cheese and heavy cream, and then topping with microwaved prosciutto.

The prosciutto comes to work with me in a flat deli container, nukes on a paper plate, and then crumbles on top of the mason jar. I have new 8 oz mason jars, that are straight sided, so easier to clean, and they stack nicely, so eager to get back into egg bites.

That said, the idea of baking in the bacon makes it much easier to grab and go after cooking. It’s all about how it fits into your life best.

I see this is a super old thread, but just wanted to mention. My H brought home some egg bites from Costco today. 2 carbs in one package! Called Three Bridges Cheese & Uncured Bacon Egg Bites.

310 Calories, 25 Fats, 20 Protein, 2 Carbs.

Makes one wonder why Starbucks needs to add those potato and rice starches. These are in the frozen section. 60 Seconds to heat.

They’re Delicious! Now I wish I had a microwave in my car for on the road coffee stops.

I don’t understand either. but they sure are missing the boat with them.

Starbucks is beginning to recognize the keto trend by carrying HWC at some of their locations. And I saw moon cheese at one recently.

A year ago when I was new to keto they only had pastries and other carbage. About all you could eat there were the meat and cheese sandwiches and ditch the bun
