3 slices bacon
6 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Chopped fresh chives, for garnish
Steps to Make It
-
Gather the ingredients. Set your sous vide machine in a large pot of water to 172 F.
-
Bake, fry, or air fry the bacon until crisp.
-
Add the eggs, grated cheese, heavy cream, cream cheese, salt, and pepper to your blender.
-
Blend the ingredients until completely smooth.
-
Grease six 4-ounce jars or ramekins with cooking spray. Cut the bacon in half and add a half to the bottom of each glass jar.
-
Pour an equal amount of the egg mixture into each glass jar.
-
Seal each jar with its lid until just “two-finger twist tight,” meaning you can easily untwist the jar with just two fingers. Any tighter and you run the risk of the jar exploding in the water bath.
-
Place the jars in the water bath (completely submerged) and cook for 1 hour. Remove from the water bath with tongs.
-
Slide a knife around the edge of the egg to release.
-
Flip out of the jar onto a plate, Serve with chopped chives.
How to Store and Freeze
- Allow to cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Place the cooled egg bites in freezer bags and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat them in the microwave directly from frozen.
