How to Make Sous Vide Egg Bites

Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.

Adjust one oven rack in the middle position and another in the lowest position-Preheat the oven to 300°F. Place a 9x13-inch baking dish on the lower rack and fill it halfway with the boiling water; this will create steam in the oven, which will help the egg bites to cook gently and have a smooth, creamy texture.

In a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, frequently cook the ham or bacon, stirring until crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; set aside.

Combine the eggs, cottage cheese, Monterey jack cheese, cheddar, salt, pepper, granulated garlic, and hot sauce in a blender. Blend until completely smooth, about 45 seconds.

Meanwhile, spray a nonstick muffin pan generously with nonstick cooking spray; divide the bacon evenly into the prepared muffin pan, then pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each about three-quarters full-Bake for 20 to 23 minutes or until set.

Remove the egg bites from the oven and allow to rest in the pan for about 5 minutes. Use a paring knife to loosen them from the edges of the pan and carefully lift them out onto a plate. Serve warm.

How to Store & Reheat

To store: Allow them to cool to room temperature first. Then, transfer them to an airtight container or resealable plastic bag and store them in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you plan to store them longer, you can freeze them for up to a month. To freeze them, place the egg bites in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe container or resealable plastic bag and freeze them until ready to use.

To reheat: There are a few options. You can microwave them on high for 30-60 seconds, depending on the power of your microwave, until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F and place the egg bites on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until heated through. If you're reheating frozen egg bites, you'll need to add a few extra minutes to the cooking time. Always ensure that the egg bites are heated through before serving.

How to Freeze
