Bacon and Gruyere Sous Vide Egg Bites
Description
These make-ahead sous vide egg bites are similar to that famous coffee shop's version, but they're double the size and have the same velvety texture!
Ingredients
•
4 slices bacon
•
6 large eggs
•
1/2 cup cottage cheese
•
1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
•
2 tablespoons heavy cream
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
6 (4-ounce) mason jars
•
1 serving cooking spray
Directions
1
Prepare a sous vide immersion cooker according to the manufacturer's directions, and set the temperature to 170 degrees F (75 degrees C).
2
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Let cool, then chop each slice into 4 to 5 pieces.
3
Combine eggs, cottage cheese, Gruyere cheese, heavy cream, and salt in a blender. Blend until well combined, 15 to 20 seconds.
4
Spray mason jars with cooking spray. Divide bacon between jars. Pour egg mixture over bacon. Screw on the lids until just barely tightened. Do not over-tighten, as the jars can burst in hot water.
5
Submerge jars into water bath and set timer for 55 minutes. When time is up, remove jars and transfer to a cooling rack.
6
If serving immediately, run a knife along outer edge of bites and invert onto a plate, or serve in jars. Let any remaining jars cool, then refrigerate for up to 1 week.
