Sous Vide Egg Bites
My sister was raving about the egg bites from Starbucks so I took a crack at remaking them. Plenty of recipes online, I went with the always reliable SeriousEats recipe, with some minor modifications (butter!), based on the ingredients listed. My wife confirmed these were “basically identical”.
Ingredients
Ingredients (to blend):
5 eggs
1/2 cup small-curd cottage cheese
1oz Gruyere cheese, grated
1oz Monterrey Jack cheese, grated
1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tbsp white distilled vinegar
2 tsp hot sauce
I used Crystal’s because I was out of Frank’s, you want a vinegar based hot sauce.
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 tbsp softened butter
Additions:
5-6 slices of bacon, cut into bite-size pieces
Whatever you want in them!
Instructions
Cook the bacon if you haven’t already, and cut into bite-size pieces.
Put all the other ingredients into a blender and blend to combine.
Fill six 4oz ball jars with your bacon pieces, equally distributing the bacon between them.
Pour the blended egg mixture into the containers.
Sous-vide at 172 for 1 hour
Carefully remove from sous vide and let cool, then remove from containers. You may need to use a knife to get the mixture to separate from the jar (I’m trying to figure out a recipe that pops right out).
