Low-Carb Truffle and Brie Egg Bites (Starbucks Copycat)

If you love Starbucks' Truffle, Mushroom, and Brie Egg Bites, this homemade version is for you. These low-carb truffle and brie egg bites deliver the same creamy texture and rich, savory flavor, made right at home with simple, real-food ingredients.

They're perfect for meal prep, busy mornings, or anytime you want a protein-packed breakfast that feels a little indulgent.

And best of all? They're naturally low carb, gluten-free, and keto-friendly.

Egg bites are a wonderful make-ahead breakfast option. My family also enjoys them as an anytime snack or light lunch.

A couple of our favorites include these Keto Egg Bites with Smoked Salmon and Dill as well as my Starbucks copycat Bacon and Gruyere egg bites (which I developed for my Substack newsletter, At the Table).

I love the flavor of black truffles and was immediately sold on the combination of truffle, mushroom and brie in Starbucks' latest egg bite flavor. 

It inspired this homemade version which is even better (and better for you!) than the original. 

why you'll love these truffle egg bites

• Deep umami flavor from mushrooms and truffle oil
• They have a rich, creamy texture just like the Starbucks version
• Naturally low carb, high in protein, and keto-friendly
• An easy-to-prep-ahead breakfast option which reheats beautifully
• They're fancy enough for brunch yet simple enough for weekdays

ingredients for truffle and brie egg bites

Here's a look at the main ingredients you'll need to make these at home! 

• Vegetables: Diced mushrooms, shallot (or onion), and some finely chopped spinach (optional, but I like adding a little pop of green). 
• Eggs:  Use high-quality eggs for the most nutrients. Pasture-raised eggs are going to be superior to cage-free eggs. 
• Cheeses: We're keeping the same flavor of the Starbucks' version and using brie, cottage cheese, and a shredded cheese like cheddar or Monterey Jack. 
• Flavor add-ins: Truffle oil along with truffle salt or seasoning gives a subtle truffle flavor. You'll also need salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a hot sauce like sriracha, or even better, a black truffle hot sauce like Truff. I've linked the truffle products I've used, but you can also find other options that are a little more affordable, e.g. truffle seasoning purchased from Costco or the Trader Joe's black or white truffle oils. 

In addition to the ingredient list, recommended kitchen equipment includes a silicone muffin pan (or silicone muffin cups set into a standard muffin tin) and a blender or food processor. The silicone muffin pan is going to make these a lot easier to cleanly remove from the pan.

truffle and brie egg bites recipe

The egg bite base comes together in a blender and the oven does the rest! Here's a look at how to make truffle egg bites but be sure to check out the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page. 

Tip: To get egg bites that are creamy with a velvety texture, we'll add a baking dish with a little bit of hot water to the oven while the truffle egg bites bake.

This will create steam and a more moist environment which prevents the egg bites from getting rubbery around the edges. It's a little hack that helps get a copycat sous-vide-style texture, without the sous vide!

Start by heating water to place in an oven-safe dish. You can do this while your oven is preheating.

Divide the mushroom and onion mixture along with the chopped spinach and grated cheese between 12 muffin cups. Pour the egg mixture into each of the muffin cups, filling them about ¾ of the way full. 

Transfer the pan to the oven and bake at 325°F for 28-32 minutes or until the centers are set. Remove and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then gently use a rubber spatula or a butterknife to help release each egg bite from the silicone cup. 

tips for a Starbucks-style texture

• Blend the eggs well but not too long. This creates the custardy, sous-vide-like texture Starbucks is known for. The cottage cheese curds and brie will also break down into the smooth egg mixture.
• Add a pan of hot water to the oven to create steam which will result in a creamy egg bake.
• Use silicone molds if possible-they release easily and help prevent over-browning. Silicone pans also prevent the need for muffin liners and ensure the egg bites won't stick. If you want to use a ceramic-coated or metal muffin pan, I recommend using silicone muffin cups or parchment paper cups. 
• Don't overbake. Egg bites should be just set for the creamiest result. If the centers look the tiniest bit liquidy, they will most likely set more as the egg bites cool. The baking time may vary based on the type of pan used, how full your muffin cups are, and how your oven heats. 
• Go light on truffle oil. Too much can overpower the dish. I personally think the Starbucks truffle and brie egg bites have too much of a truffle flavor, so I've lightened the amount in my version. 

variations

• Vegetables: You can omit the spinach or add in your own favorite chopped green (I've made these with baby kale, too). If you like bell peppers, sauté about ¼ cup with the onion and mushrooms. Leftover veggies like sweet potato or small cubes of squash would also work well in these. 
• Extra truffle: If you prefer a more intense truffle flavor, you can double the amount of truffle oil or truffle seasoning.

how to store & reheat

• Store egg bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
• Reheat gently in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
• They can also be frozen and reheated straight from frozen for quick breakfasts.

These low-carb truffle and brie egg bites are proof that healthy breakfasts don't have to be boring.

They bring all the cozy café vibes of your favorite Starbucks order-without the carbs, additives, or daily coffee shop run.

Whether you're meal prepping for the week or hosting a brunch, this copycat recipe is sure to become a breakfast staple!
