Copycat Starbucks Egg Bites

These are soooo fluffy, soooo good, and sooooo EASY to make. Why would you waste your money buying them at Starbucks or worse buying them in a grocery store with a ton of additives? No thanks. These made 9 egg bites with 8 eggs, few slices of ham, whatever veggies you want (my kids do not care for veggies except bell pepper in eggs, but I do not have any). I will link the Dash below. 😀 My kids LOVE these topped with salsa, but obvi you do not need to top it with anything.  You Will Need: 8 Eggs Chives Salt & Pepper  Butter (little in each mold) Cheese (little in each mold) Ham, diced (little in each mold) Bell Peppers, diced (little in each mold) Onions, diced (little in each mold) Frozen Potatoes, thawed (little in each mold) 1/2 Cup Cottage Cheese Shop my amazon storefront  (the egg bite maker is there!)

White Salt Dough Recipe

This is so much fun to make with you children! All you need is a few ingredients and you are set to go! I added glitter to ours, you most definitely do not have too. We also decided to color with cheap food coloring! I would never ever, ever use this food coloring in our food but this is not food! I also used very cheap ingredients instead of organic ones (the flour is all I had). 
Materials:

1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Salt
1/2-1 Cup Water 
Glitter
Food Coloring


I doubled the recipe... add your flour, and salt into a bowl


I added glitter, red, green and white. 


Mix together 


Slowly add water... Mix and add more water if needed


Continue working the dough until it forms a nice ball


I think it is beautiful just like this! But...


Amazing...


See all that glitter...


The kids wanted colored...


Add to center of dough, a little to begin with


Mix well, until all the color is incorporated 


It can get a wee bit messy!


They are beautiful!! 


Roll and cut any shapes you wish


We need shapes and hand prints


Red is beautiful 


Other kids print...


Different colors we did... 
Once you have your shapes, place a whole in the top of the ornament {I used a straw to make these wholes}, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (unbleached or bleached does not matter since you are not eating it). Bake 200 degrees for 3-4 hours or until the pieces are nice and harden.. You can then decorate with Sharpies, markers, paint or puffy paints..
