Sous Vide Egg Bites Recipe

This delicious and creamy sous vide egg cup recipe is perfect for a quick breakfast or snack. The soft texture and subtle flavors make it a versatile base for adding various ingredients such as cheese, vegetables, or meats. Here's how to make it step by step:

Ingredients:

• 6 large eggs
• cup cottage cheese
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• teaspoon salt
• 6 (4-ounce) mason jars
• 1 serving cooking spray

Directions:

1. Fill a large pot with water and place a sous vide immersion cooker into the water. Set the temperature to 170F (77C) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2. In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, heavy cream, and salt. Blend for 15-20 seconds until thoroughly mixed.
3. Spray the mason jars with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
4. Divide the egg mixture evenly among the jars, ensuring each jar is filled to about full.
5. Screw the lids onto the jars until just barely tightened. Be careful not to over-tighten, as this can cause the jars to burst in the hot water.
6. Submerge the jars in the preheated water bath and set the timer for 55 minutes.
7. Once the timer goes off, carefully remove the jars and place them on a cooling rack.
8. If serving immediately, run a knife along the outer edge of the egg cup and invert it onto a plate. Alternatively, you can eat directly from the jar.
9. If not serving immediately, let the jars cool before refrigerating. They will stay fresh for up to 1 week.

Recipe Tips:

• For extra flavor, blend cup of your favorite shredded cheese into the egg mixture.
• You can also add 1 tablespoon of cooked ingredients (e.g., broccoli, ham, or roasted red peppers) to the bottom of each jar before pouring in the egg mixture.
• To reheat, microwave on low power (30%) for about 1 minute, or reheat in a sous vide bath for 10-15 minutes at 150F (65C).
