\"Vegan<\/p>\n

One of the best parts about transferring to a new store, is meeting so many new partners! There are two things people love to do together; laugh and eat, so many of my “ice breaker” conversations are around food. I have found out that my new store has a lot of partners who are vegan! This is very new to me, and I am not actually sure I have ever worked with a vegan partner before.<\/p>\n

I love to cook (obviously) and I love to bring food in to share at work, but I don’t want to leave anyone out, as I have been working on new ideas to delight my vegan partners.<\/p>\n

My favorite thing to eat at Starbucks are the sous vide roasted red pepper egg bites with avocado and several packets of sriracha. Egg bites are definitely not vegan, and I really wanted to make some! So, I went over to pinterest to see what kind of recipes there were. Surprisingly, I didn’t find any! Since I am not vegan, I started asking my partners what they used as far as egg and cheese replacements. I made a shopping list and hit up Whole Foods, hoping that this would work. Generally, I try to post recipes that do not use special equipment, but for this I used my Instant Pot<\/a> and egg bite mold<\/a>. If you do not have an Instant Pot, go out and buy one right now. I initially purchased it for the sole purpose of making egg bites, but I use it just about every day.<\/p>\n

Sous vide means “under vacuum” in French. These are not sous vide, they are steamed, but they have an identical texture to the sous vide egg bites offered at Starbucks (I actually find the ones I make in the Instant Pot to be slightly fluffier). Using the base recipe, you can literally make any type of egg bite you can think of! I have made (non vegan) pepperoni pizza egg bites, flaming hot cheeto egg bites, chorizo egg bites. For this recipe, I wanted to do something that would pair with our core Sumatra. Sumatra is our featured coffee story coffee right now, and I am obsessed with the packaging. Sumatra is also my favorite core coffee, so I decided I would use roasted crimini mushrooms, red bell pepper and cheddar “cheese”.<\/p>\n

How do you make egg bites without using eggs? Little did I know, there is a vegan egg replacement<\/a>.\u00a0 I was not very confident this would turn out, however, I was proved wrong. The egg replacement has a similar taste and texture to an egg, and with a little bit of almond milk and tofu, you might not even be able to tell the difference!<\/p>\n
