Starbucks Bacon & Gruyère Egg Bites - Nutrition, Prices March 19, 2026

Q: What makes the texture of these egg bites so smooth?

The secret is the sous vide cooking method Starbucks uses—eggs (blended with cottage cheese and other ingredients) are vacuum-sealed and gently cooked in a precise water bath at a low, steady temperature. This slow, even cooking keeps them incredibly moist, creamy, and velvety, avoiding the rubbery or dry texture you can get from traditional baking or scrambling.

Q: Can I order just one egg bite instead of two?

Starbucks uses applewood-smoked bacon (uncured, with no added nitrites or nitrates except those naturally occurring from sea salt and celery juice). It adds a delicious sweet-smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the nutty Gruyère.

Q: Do they contain any other types of cheese?

Yes! In addition to aged Gruyère for that rich, nutty depth, the bites include Monterey Jack cheese for extra creaminess and meltability. There's also cottage cheese blended in as a key ingredient—it boosts the protein, helps create that signature light-yet-velvety texture, and adds subtle tang without overpowering the flavor.

The Bacon & Gruyère Egg Bites are a longtime Starbucks favorite, loved for their ultra-creamy, velvety texture that feels almost custard-like. They’re made using the classic French sous vide method—vacuum-sealed and gently cooked in a precise water bath—for that signature smooth, melt-in-your-mouth consistency you can’t get from regular baking.
These bites feature cage-free eggs blended with a rich mix of aged Gruyère and Monterey Jack cheeses, plus savory applewood-smoked bacon (uncured, no added nitrites) for smoky, crispy pops of flavor. At around 300 calories per serving (two bites), they deliver 19g of protein with just 9g of carbs—making them a smart pick for anyone wanting a gluten-free, low-carb, high-protein breakfast that’s easy to grab and go. No mess, no fuss, just sophisticated, satisfying fuel to kickstart your day!

The ingredients themselves (like eggs, cheeses, bacon, and cottage cheese) don’t contain gluten, so they’re considered gluten-free by many standards. However, Starbucks can’t guarantee they’re 100% gluten-free due to shared kitchen equipment and potential cross-contamination with wheat items. Always check the latest info or ask your barista if you have sensitivities!
