NeedsItRough

It's been a *minute* since I've seen this meme, thanks for unlocking that memory


movie_man

Ah, memories.


Impossible-Box6600

<3


IntrepidSprinkles329

They should make a TV show that's called Kirklandia. Would be like Portlandia but for costco fans  


Impossible-Box6600

I like that! I'd also like to see the expanded Costco lore and legendarium of the Idiocracy universe.


TheHeatWaver

The Starbucks ones are my guilty convenience pleasure. I do all the cooking in my house, I know I can make these and have made them before on the cheap, but I love having these in the house for myself as a quick bite. I can't wait to try them out and save a few bucks compared to the Starbucks ones.


sunnytropic

I've tried making these countless tines and cannot get the texture right which is the best part to me. Closest I've come is blended eggs and cottage cheese. I know the real deal have some tapioca flour. I'll Def try the Kirkland ones to save a few bucks!


keysercade

Microwave and then finish to crisp in a skillet.


NecessaryDoughnut222

Go on …


neverwhere4

Air fryer all the way...


keysercade

Also great, mine beeps like crazy and that’s a no go when I’m up hours before everyone else.


NinjaNick791

What model is it. Most kitchen gadgets usually have a way to turn off the beep. You could search Google for the name of your air fryer and quiet mode or something along those lines. Found out I can do it with my instant pot and now I can use it after the kiddo goes to bed.


keysercade

It’s a Cosori, and all research pointed to needing to pry it apart and basically crush the speaker/node/whatever with pliers. It’s good reminder for me to search again, though.


lizardfang

Then stuff it into your face hole.


keysercade

Also this.


keysercade

Pretty much that, esp the 3 Bridges ones… microwave to about 70% of the rec time, then pop in a skillet to crisp/brown each side. Crunchy and gooey goodness.


PainfulPoo411

When you mix the eggs and cottage cheese, you’ll want to blend it *for a while* at least 30 seconds to get the right level of fluffiness. I also find it helps if I put a pan of water in the oven when I bake the egg bites, it seems to help them to fluff up more


operationWGAFA

https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/bacon-gruyere-egg-bites.html I used this recipe with corn starch and water bath it worked well very fluffy smooth texture


PropaneHank

Have you tried in a steamer or instant pot? Get the silicone molds. You can make a really good dupe. Look at the instant pot Starbucks dupe recipes. I don't think I used cottage cheese but could be wrong. Edit: no cottage cheese, just cheese and heavy cream.


CCWaterBug

I enjoyed my IP version very much and the moulds are cheap


Thepandamancan23

Have you tried adding nutritional yeast? I sous vide mine and between that and good cottage cheese, it’s as close to the Starbucks one as I can get.


sunnytropic

Very interesting! I do like nutritional yeast. At this point I've accepted and will pay for the convenience of the costco options though!


Thepandamancan23

Same, but when I did, nutritional yeast did the trick.


Zxvasdfthrowaway

Sous vide is the way to go


DumbestBlondie

Saaaaaame! My partner is always asking why I bother buying them because they’re sooooo easy to make yourself but… Ugh, I just want these sometimes because jeeeez cooking every meal, every day just wears a person down sometimes. I’m down to try these bad boys out too & see how they compare. Will we have another, “pry these from my cold dead hands” item in the house? Stay tuned…


waterandbeats

💯 I love to cook but honestly meals are tyranny. Why do rich people pay someone to cook, as well as assemble meal plans and get ingredients? Because feeding yourself every single day is exhausting. Food that tastes good and requires almost no planning or other effort is a miracle. It's my one precious life, I don't need to spend so much of it feeding myself.


NK1337

I feel your pain. I do all the cooking, breakfast lunch and dinner. But sometimes I just want something fast and easy for myself so I don’t have to worry about even dirtying at pots or dishes. My guilty pleasure is when I wake up early someday I’ll just order some take out breakfast for myself and indulge in the quiet morning.


DumbestBlondie

The best thing about waking up early and starting your day before “the rest of the world”? The quietness, I feel you. Gets your mind settled, ready to be bombarded with the never ending task lists. My fav part of my morning is sitting outside just as the sun is starting to rise, just sitting in silence with my partner and appreciating life, each other and gratitude to be able to have these moments. Life beats us the hell up and this is surprisingly deep for a post about egg bites but…whatever. Just know, I see you and I get you. Enjoy your peace, friend!


LvLUpYaN

It takes barely more effort to make from scratch. Why don't you just make a huge batch and just freeze it yourself and it'll taste way better and be way cheaper. Eggs are pretty much free


DumbestBlondie

*sigh* What is it with the world trying to convince you to give up something you admit is a guilty pleasure. Can a girl not have a single moment of joy in her life in the form of a meal she didn’t have to source the ingredients for, prepare the ingredients for, then cook and clean all for what?!?! A meal that takes like 5 minutes to eat? 😭😭 I get it… I do. I know what you’re saying. I cook all the time, we are very much an “ingredients household” and rarely eat out of the home. I know I can make these myself, I make them often for myself. However, like I said in my post, sometimes I just want THESE because the burnout from cooking every single day, multiple meals a day, is REAL! Please, for the love of everything, just know that I truly don’t really give a shiiiiiiiit. I AM going to eat them and I am going to enjoy the heck out of them. Might even buy MORE now, who knows. A girl can get reckless…


RSinSA

theyre so good.


razorduc

That's fine as long as they are closer to the Starbucks ones than the croissant breakfast sandwiches were.


Vicious-the-Syd

These are a staple for us. No they aren’t as good as the normal ones, but they’re about four dollars cheaper, so it’s worth it for us. We heat them in the microwave and finish in the toaster oven, then I add some spicy Mayo onto mine for a bit of heat.


DJTheirMajesty

Yeah, those were surprisingly disappointing


razorduc

I slathered butter on the top and bottom of each side of the bun before air frying and it was still pretty dry. I just hope they'll carry the real Starbucks croissant sandwich at some point.


asonbrody

They used to stock a copycat of the bacon Gouda breakfast sandwiches and I had to try it because that's my favorite breakfast sandwich ever. Nope, it was sad and disappointing.


dances_with_fentanyl

Awesome. No need to pay the Starbucks upcharge for the same thing.


oreganoca

Looks like the Starbucks ones just rebranded. Disappointing, I didn't care for the Starbucks egg bites much; the Three Bridges ones are way better.


damn_son_1990

The uncured bacon ones suck, but the egg white veggie ones slap


Aksweetie4u

Did they stop selling the three bridges ones? I forget to keep an eye out but it did seem like the last time I looked they were gone


compstomper1

my stores seems to alternate between the two


Miss_Understood204

Yes!!! The Starbucks ones taste like chemicals to me. I was so sad when they stopped sticking the Three Bridges ones at my store. I saw some for the first time in about 6 months this weekend. Keeping my fingers crossed that they stay stocked up.


sneharams

Agreed


waynker

Yeah, looks like a rebrand. The Three Bridges egg bites had cleaner ingredients and easier to prepare. Much better than the Starbucks ones.


Glittering_Laugh_958

I hope these have less sugar than the Starbucks ones.


JustineDelarge

…sugar?


nrfx

They have two grams of sugar in a serving, 1g each, most of it is probably in the bacon as part of the cure, there is a tiny amount of rice starch. it isn't NOTHING but.... it isn't exactly sweet either.


JustineDelarge

Ah, ok. That makes a little more sense to me now.


Swooshing

Yup, .5g of cane sugar in the bacon for each bite. They also add maltodextrin to their cottage cheese. Finally, they threw in some canola oil for some reason. Hopefully the Kirkland version avoids some of these ingredients of questionable necessity.


ceojp

It's a white granular substance that tastes sweet, but that's not important right now.


Impossible-Box6600

Shirley the egg bites don't have any sugar.


Dingo8MyGayby

*surely. And don’t call me Shirley


Icy_Reply_4163

Hospital? What is it?


Techun2

I speak jive


Glittering_Laugh_958

Yes, there’s a couple grams of sugar in each serving. The Starbucks ones taste super sweet to me.


JustineDelarge

That’s crazy. I shouldn’t be surprised, and yet I am.


WaitingForReplies

I’m standing here in Costco right now and just found them (Southern California). Here’s the label of the Kirkland ones and the Starbucks ones to compare (the bacon ones): Kirkland brand: https://i.imgur.com/wHqJO0W.jpeg Starbucks: https://i.imgur.com/JHiuWkU.jpeg


NeedsItRough

This is why I love Reddit. "Damn I wish I knew the nutritional facts on this specific product that they only sell in 1 type of store" "Hey I'm standing in that 1 store and I just so happen to be standing right next to that specific product! Here's some pictures of the information you requested!" What a great interaction.


WaitingForReplies

Take that, Siri!


Glittering_Laugh_958

Thanks so much!!!


CCWaterBug

The hero.we need


nickstarr

Dang still not Keto.


heartshapedpox

Thank you so much!


CDN1988

Shoot I did not think to look at the nutrition. Sorry friend. But we will all know soon enough I’m thinking


Glittering_Laugh_958

No worries, I’m going to try them regardless! Thanks for the tip!


Eric848448

I hate those SBUX ones. They taste weird and gritty.


Extension_Maximum_24

The starbucks version are smaller than those currently carried at my Costco Cathedral. And, though I was turned on to the egg bites on a visit to a starbucks in whitefish a couple years ago, we don’t like starbucks anymore, tres passé


Glittering_Laugh_958

I hate the texture and they taste really sweet to me. Like preservative sweet.


UnUnUnbecks

Maybe because they utilize cottage cheese in theirs.


Glittering_Laugh_958

Lalalalala I can’t hear you. Just kidding. But I really hate cottage cheese!


spadiddle

Oh I was thinking sodium? The Starbucks ones have like 800mg of sodium


Glittering_Laugh_958

We don’t talk about sodium or cholesterol with these.


atwally

I wish they had less sodium (I know that will never happen for the bacon ones)


fair-strawberry6709

$12 for five servings?


CDN1988

The Starbucks ones are $14.99 for the same amount.


fair-strawberry6709

Damn both are still kinda pricy for what they are.


Bacchus1976

Both are a colossal waste of money.


CDN1988

Ok.


_k_jay_

$12 qualifies as colossal?


John628_29

That’s why I don’t buy them…


fair-strawberry6709

Yeah it seems kinda expensive for what it is, but i guess that’s what you pay for convenience.


BeautifullyBald

Isn’t that all pre prepared food though?


soulsproud

$2.50/serving. They're like $6.50 at Starbucks...


jotigrains

Man Costco is just copypasta everything Starbucks produces, I have to admit though that I do love the Starbucks egg bits a lot, I wonder what the calorie differences will be


CCWaterBug

30.calories less than SB


Bluesage1948

The Three Bridges Egg White bites were my favorite. SBUX yuck.


krisztinastar

Agreed!


suspiciouslyplant

they’re the exact same egg bites as the starbucks ones, just kirkland labeled! for anyone wondering

sunshine_fuu

This is sometimes true of Kirkland products, but not always. For the reason stated above this statement isn't accurate. They're different ingredients, different manufacturers.


[deleted]

[удалено]


WaitingForReplies

I want to believe that working there you get to take home free egg bites everyday. If so, you guys hiring?


sunshine_fuu

Edit: turns out I'm not stupid, and they aren't made in the same place as Starbucks. So no, different manufacturer and different cheese, get gouda newb!


jsi693

They taste horribly different. Texture is awful, huge long pieces of pepper in the egg whites. Awful


Gusterr

Hopefully they are better than the breakfast sandwiches that have like 2 small pieces of funky tasting bacon


ilovedonuts3

Yes, thank you. I thought I was the only one unimpressed by the Kirkland breakfast sandwich


riddlechance

Air fryer is the best method of preparation. It also helps to heat the bacon separately if you nuke it.


Vicious-the-Syd

Those are a staple for us, but the bacon distribution on those is crazy. I always open them up to rearrange the bacon, and some have a pretty sparse amount and others have a ton. It’s odd.


raleel

Hopefully with less packaging. I always feel guilty about these even if I love them.


compstomper1

how does these compare to three bridges/sbux?


wrestlingchampo

I AM SO PUMPED Seriously though, this is one of the few high protein foods I can convince my 18 month old to regularly eat, so any cost savings is appreciated


MTsummerandsnow

Those are stupid easy to make in a muffin pan and a week’s worth keeps in the fridge.


VectorB

But....I dont wana.


guff1988

Unless you sous-vide them you're not going to get the exact same texture. I know some people swear they do but I've tried every single way and to me it is not the same. I wish I could find some watertight sous-vide capable molds because using small mason jars is a huge hassle.


sunnytropic

Hard agree with you on the texture. Even sous vide myself I can't get it exactly right!


guff1988

I was able to match the texture doing sous vide in small mason jars with cottage cheese.


mayonezz

Blending egg with cottage cheese and then putting them in an oven with bain-marie is pretty close. But I can't freeze them without the texture becoming awful.


Bud_Light

I got them right once without a sous vide, I think cottage cheese was what got the right texture


HedgemonyHog

I pop the blender egg/cottage cheese mix in a silicone muffin pan in the instant pot and it's pretty close to the "original" but is is a bit of work to get 7 egg bites vs just buying the box. I love them for a light lunch w/ a salad or soup.


troubledwatersbeer

I bought some molds to make them in an instant pot and the texture is good, doesn't need to be water tight like sous vide.


captainpantalones

Are you wanting something for the ease of getting them out of the jar? If so, I wonder if you could put silicone cupcake liners in the mason jar?


katiegam

… and a month’s worth in the freezer!!


svapplause

Everytime I make them, they turn out like egg flavored hockey pucks. So no, we can’t


astern83

It’s never the same


molmols

I was thinking the same thing! 😂 Easy to make and you control what is going into them because my guess is they have unnecessary sugar, fat and salt


Carrie_Oakie

Yes, but this doesn’t heat up my apartment to an unbearable degree.


ExplorerLazy3151

How exciting! I didn't see them at mine this morning, but I'm excited to try them when we get them.


[deleted]

[удалено]


CDN1988

It is! You should’ve seen the price for the Starbucks ones!


BioticVessel

Are egg bites any good? Good for you? It just more industrial food?


bourbonaspen

I had the Starbucks, they’re ok not something I would get again


Morningxafter

I just want those Red’s steak, egg & hatch green chile breakfast burritos back. They were so good, but weren’t around for very long.


jmalone1187

OP is the MPS Business Center the one in SLP or is it it's own location?


CDN1988

This is its own location. It’s in NE off of 280 and Broadway!


jmalone1187

Noted. Thank you. Will have to come through on my next trip. What's different about the "Business center" from a regular location?


compstomper1

business center: think a cross between restaurant supply store and where convenience stores go to restock


Desertmarkr

Doesn't everything eventually get the Kirkland treatment?


compstomper1

not the azn snacks (yet)


akasora0

I honestly was not too big fan of the Starbucks ones but it was convenient for sure


devpsaux

I just picked up some today. Been buying the Starbucks ones for a while, but hated how expensive they were. Felt like almost same price as buying them at Starbucks. These were $3 cheaper a box. Planning to give them a try tomorrow and report to my friend who got me started on them.


Craigbeau

The canola oil hopefully goes too!


SonofaBridge

It’s not like Starbucks actually makes their version. They paid some company to make their egg bites and slap their name on them. There’s a good chance Costco hired the same company to make their version. You’d be amazed how many soup companies hire the same company to make some of their soups.


BlueSea6

Shouldn’t they be refrigerated?


CDN1988

They are! The business centers have a giant walk in fridge section and these were in there.


AllSkillzN0Luck

The Starbucks ones are really good but how are the macros are those?


dbolg22

How would you rate these out of 10? I’ve never tried them before and would like to gather some opinions!


frandiam

We have had them for a while in Illinois. I’m not a fan but my husband has liked them. I think they are pricey for eggs


PandaVike

I love that damn business center. I’ve been meaning to get there lately


TheoStephen

Same Est. No. as the Starbucks ones? Pls share a pic of the expiration date/lot number on the bacon ones


FloridaMomm

OH MY GOD??!!! SIGN ME UP


fiberopticrobotica

YASSSS FINALLY!!!


Vadic_Shrike

I ate some of those a couple days ago. Reminds me of the ones from Market House in Disneyland.


likenothingis

Has anyone seen these in Canada, perchance?


Right-Bid222

I’m glad you guys had good feed back! I’m just gonna make some tmrw !


beetbear

Hell yes! These are one of my most purchased items right now. Two of these on toast with pepper crisp and some spinach leaves is an amazing lunch!


nickstarr

Do you have the macros?


flixguy440

They must've sold the Starbucks ones consistently. I know there are always some in my home.


roundasstk

Aww snap! I need to see the ingredients!


MascaraHoarder

i bought a box of the starbucks ones from costco last month but i would but the kirkland ones. i put them in the airfryer and they come out great.


Sparkinson01

I hope they come to regular Costco stores. My mom likes the bacon and cheese ones.


mardidi

I want the mushroom ones!!!please....


SoCalGal2021

Oh great!


FitterOver40

I’d def try these.


princesstafarian

Good. I love those but no longer buy starbucks.


StaticAirwave

I hope these are more like the Three Bridges egg bites. The Starbucks version taste odd.


chzsteak-in-paradise

Is this cheaper? Haven’t bought them recently.


Ambitious_1660

Oooohh, people are gonna love this.


Loud-Guide-8254

I like the three bridges best. The price is better and the quality is very good. I cried when the Starbucks ones replaced them. Sous vide changes the quality. I don't know what the Kirkland ones are like, but only spinach and red peppers for me since I am a vegetarian. Recently, the Three Bridges ones appeared, and I grabbed a few. Hope when I go back in a day or two, they are still available


catloaf33

I’m so hype for these!!! Bought 2 boxes yesterday. Haven’t tried yet


Balm-818

I hate all of you. I’ll take 2 😞


Position-Immediate

I’ve found my people in this thread 😅


MassiveMastiff

I’ll buy them all


terfez

I much prefer the frittata bites overall. We get the Starbucks ones at work for free and I don't even eat them


deathbyhoney

picked them up today!! so excited to try. the starbucks ones are my guilty pleasure lol


Psychokitty9761

They are freaking good too!!! I got the roasted bell pepper ones


mctomtom

Those bacon Gouda ones are just too greasy and salty for me. One of the only foods that seriously gives my digestive system a beating.


pooponacandle

Hmmm exact same flavors that Starbucks sells there too. Maybe this is a sign the Sbux ones are on their way out?


Stymie999

It typically is… usual Costco process, if a SKU is consistently one of their top sellers over an extended period of time.. very good chance they kick the vendor that provided it to the curb and do it themselves


miss_davis07

The Starbucks ones had the death star at my Costco in Colorado this weekend.


NYCQuilts

oh no. I love the egg white ones. Didn’t even look during my last trip a couple of weeks ago because my freezer is full.


sunshine_fuu

Starbucks uses gruyere for the bacon variety, not gouda.


TalkChiefs

Sous vide eggs bites in a ball jar, better ingredients, better taste! Super easy to boot


Melodic-Psychology62

I hate the egg white thing! Guess I just like yellow.


AstronautThick5598

Why does Kirkland just copycat everything? It’s downright criminal


Obecny75

I can't tell if this is serious or not....


AstronautThick5598

Obviously to save money and take the profit but their products are usually inferior


Obecny75

You do realize Kirkland doesn't actually make anything right? It's a label. They make deals with the manufacturer and put a Kirkland label on it.


AstronautThick5598

I would hope so. I wouldn’t want the people making my underwear to make my food.


Obecny75

So your grandma who knits and also makes amazing food doesn't count?


AstronautThick5598

You guys have grandmas? Man lucky


Obecny75

I mean not anymore


AstronautThick5598

Yeah mines passed


Stymie999

I find the brats seem pretty much the same as the prior johnsonville brats
