These creamy egg bites are a delicious and easy way to start your day, with tangy goat cheese and flavorful sun-dried tomatoes adding a tasty twist. Cooking them sous vide ensures a perfectly tender and fluffy texture every time.
Start by filling a large pot with water and attaching your sous vide cooker. Set it to 170°F (77°C) and let the water come up to temperature. While that’s heating, drain the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes but save about half a teaspoon. Chop the tomatoes finely and toss them in a small bowl with the reserved oil, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Give everything a good stir and set it aside.
Next, blend together the eggs, cottage cheese, goat cheese, heavy cream, and half a teaspoon of salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy—this should take about 15 to 20 seconds. Lightly spray some mason jars with cooking spray, then spoon some of the tomato mixture into each jar. Pour the egg mixture on top, leaving a bit of space at the top, and screw the lids on just until they’re snug—don’t tighten them too much or the jars might crack in the hot water.
Carefully lower the jars into the water bath and cook for 55 minutes. When they’re done, take the jars out and set them on a cooling rack. Run a knife around the edges to loosen the egg bites, then invert them onto a plate or simply enjoy them straight from the jar. Any leftovers can be cooled completely and stored in the fridge for up to a week.
- Use fresh eggs for the best texture and flavor.
- Make sure to seal the jars tightly to prevent water from getting inside during sous vide cooking.
- Let the bites cool slightly before removing them from the jars to keep their shape intact.
These egg bites are creamy and flavorful thanks to the tangy goat cheese and sweet sun-dried tomatoes. Cooking them sous vide ensures a perfectly tender texture every time. They make a great protein-packed breakfast or snack that feels special but is easy to prepare.
Serve warm with a side of fresh greens or avocado slices for a balanced meal. They also pair well with crusty bread or a light salad. Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or basil to brighten the flavors.
Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or steamer to avoid drying them out. These bites can also be frozen; thaw overnight in the fridge before warming.
