• 1/4 cup Monterey Jack Cheese

How To Make Sous Vide Egg Bites Bacon Gruyere?

1. Heat the sous vide: Set the sous vide to 167°F and let it heat up.
2. Blend the egg mixture: In a blender, add eggs, cottage cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, Gruyere cheese, and salt. Blend until smooth.
3. Prepare the jars: Spray four small canning jars (half-pint wide-mouth jelly jars) with non-stick spray. Break one piece of crispy bacon into each jar.
4. Fill the jars: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the jars. Wipe the rims clean, then close the lids tightly.
5. Cook in the sous vide: Place the jars into the heated sous vide water bath. Once the temperature reaches 167°F, cook for 35 minutes or until the eggs are fully set.
6. Broil with cheese: Remove the jars from the water, take off the lids, and sprinkle extra shredded Gruyere cheese on top. Broil for a few minutes until golden brown.

Recipe Tips:

• Blend the mixture well: Blend the eggs, cheese, and cottage cheese for at least 30-45 seconds to make the mixture smooth. This helps create a creamy texture with no lumps.
• Use thin, crispy bacon: Cook the bacon until crispy before adding it to the jars. If the bacon is too soft, it won’t add the right texture and flavor.
• Seal the jars lightly: Do not tighten the lids too much before placing the jars in the sous vide. Just close them lightly so air can escape, preventing pressure buildup.
• Make sure the sous vide is at the right temperature: Wait until it reaches 167°F before adding the jars. If the water isn’t hot enough, the eggs may not set properly.
• Broil carefully: After broiling, watch the cheese closely to prevent burning. It melts and browns quickly, so keep an eye on it for the perfect golden top.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: First, let the leftover Sous Vide Egg Bites cool to room temperature. Then, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Reheat: Set the air fryer to 300°F. Place the egg bites in the basket and heat for 3-5 minutes until warmed through.
