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.
