Ingredients Needed:

• 4 eggs
• 4 tablespoons cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 tablespoons thinly sliced ham
• 1 teaspoon minced red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese 

How To Make Ham and Cheddar Sous Vide Egg Bites?

1. Preheat the sous vide: Set your sous vide to 75°C and let it heat while you prepare the egg mixture.
2. Blend the ingredients: In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese, and salt. Add the red bell pepper and blend until smooth. Stir in the chopped ham by hand.
3. Prepare the jars: Lightly spray four small mason jars with non-stick spray. Pour the egg mixture into the jars, leaving space at the top. Wipe the rims clean and seal with the lids.
4. Cook in the sous vide: Place the jars in the sous vide bath and cook for 35 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set. If still soft, cook for 5 more minutes.
5. Broil for extra flavor (optional): Remove the egg bites from the jars, sprinkle with Gruyere cheese, and broil for 1–2 minutes, until melted and golden brown.

Recipe Tips:

• Use room-temperature eggs: This helps the eggs blend smoothly and cook evenly, making the bites light and creamy.
• Blend just enough: Over-blending can make the mixture too airy, causing the egg bites to have a spongy texture instead of being creamy.
• Seal jars lightly: Do not screw the lids too tight; a slight looseness allows air to escape, helping the egg bites cook evenly.
• Let them rest before removing: After cooking, let the jars sit for 5 minutes before opening. This helps the egg bites firm up and makes them easier to take out.
• Broil carefully: Keep an eye on the cheese when broiling. It melts fast, and a few extra seconds can burn it instead of giving it a golden crust.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the egg bites cool to room temperature first. Then, place them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Freeze: After cooling, wrap each egg bite in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: Set the air fryer to 150°C. Place the egg bites inside and heat for 3–5 minutes, or until warm.
