Easy Sous Vide Egg Bites
These egg bites are so easy to make in a sous vide! You can easily meal prep a dozen of them on Sunday, then eat them throughout the week. They can easily be reheated in the morning at work or on your way out the door.
Ingredients:
Egg Bites
- 12 eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup grated or crumbled cheese, varies based on choice of fillings
Optional Fillings
- ½ cup ham, diced
- ½ cup bell peppers, diced
- ½ cup bacon, diced
- ½ cup diced green chilies
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- ¼ cup sun dried tomatoes, julienned
- ¼ cup spinach, chopped
Directions:
-
Heat a sous vide water bath to 172°F.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, heavy cream, salt and pepper together.
-
Add the cheese of your choice, along with the optional fillings based on the flavor combination you’d like in your egg bites. (See flavor combinations in the notes below.)
-
Pour the egg mixture into six 4 oz mason jars.
-
Screw the lids on the mason jars just tight enough so they’re closed, but do not tighten any further than that.
-
Place the mason jars into the sous vide machine or into a large pot or dutch oven with a sous vide stick attached.
-
Set the sous vide cooking time for 1 hour.
-
After 1 hour, use tongs to remove the mason jars from the sous vide water bath.
-
Remove the lids from the mason jar and either eat the egg bites directly from the jar or remove the egg bites from the jar and serve on a plate.
