30-Minute Sous Vide Egg Bites with Cottage Cheese, Goat Cheese, and Bacon
Time to ditch Starbucks: these homemade sous vide egg bites are simple, lighter thanks to cottage cheese, and packed with flavor! Ready in no time, they cook at 185 degrees F for 30 minutes. I use bacon and goat cheese in mine, but play with the fillings if you like.
Ingredients
- 7 large eggs
- 2 heaping cups cottage cheese, (350 grams)
- 2 cups spinach, (85 grams), optional
- 1 1/2 cups crumbled goat cheese
- 6 slices bacon, cooked
- kosher salt
- freshly cracked black pepper
Equipment
- Kitchen Scale optional
- Silicone Oven Mitts optional
Instructions
- Place a water-filled container on a trivet. Preheat using immersion circulator to 185 degrees F.
- While it's preheating, add the spinach, cottage cheese, and eggs to a blender. I prefer to weigh my ingredients using a kitchen scale. Blend until just smooth. If not using the spinach, you can choose to whisk instead.
- Pour egg mixture evenly between 6 half-pint sized jars or small Weck jars. To each jar, add: 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese, 1 crumbled slice of bacon, 1/4 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper. Stir contents of each jar to evenly distribute.
- If using canning jars (not Weck jars), add undamaged lids to jars and screw to just finger tip tight, meaning you only tighten with the tips of your fingers. You want air to be able to escape the jars while cooking to prevent them from cracking. If using Weck jars, add the lids using the metal clamps as normal.
- Carefully drop the jars into the preheated water bath using silicone oven mitts or jar lifter. This water is too hot to use your bare hands. Cook for 30 minutes.
- Remove jars from water bath using mitts or lifter and let cool on the counter for 10-15 minutes. Serve or refrigerate.
- To reheat, remove lid and microwave at 70% power for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Notes
Turkey bacon is also delicious in these egg bites.
To make these lower calorie, replace 3 of the eggs with
Costco's Kirkland brand goat cheese is my favorite for this recipe.
Feel free to swap the goat cheese and bacon out for other ingredients, keeping the base recipe the same
