How to Make Sous Vide Egg Bites

2. Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine 4 large eggs, 2 oz of softened cream cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps. This step is crucial for achieving a creamy texture.
3. Add Your Mix-ins: Mix in 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, along with your chosen ingredients like diced spinach, cooked bacon, or fresh herbs. The combination of flavors will enhance your sous vide egg bites.
4. Prepare the Molds: Lightly grease silicone molds with cooking spray or oil. This prevents the egg bites from sticking and makes for easy removal after cooking.
5. Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the blended egg mixture evenly into each cavity of the molds, filling them about 3/4 full. This allows space for expansion during cooking.
6. Sous Vide Cooking: Place the molds in the preheated water bath. Cook for 40 minutes. This low and slow method ensures even cooking and a perfect texture.
7. Check for Doneness: After 40 minutes, carefully remove the molds from the water bath. Let them cool for a few minutes.
8. Demolding: Gently squeeze the edges of the silicone molds to help loosen the egg bites. Then, invert the molds onto a plate and gently tap the bottom; the egg bites should release easily. Make sure the molds have cooled slightly to avoid burning your hands.
9. Serve and Enjoy: Your homemade sous vide egg bites are ready! Enjoy them warm, or store them in the fridge for a quick breakfast option.
Storage and Reheating Tips
To enjoy your sous vide egg bites at their best, proper storage and reheating are essential. So, what should we do?
- Storage: After they cool down, place the egg bites in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them in an airtight bag for up to 2 months.
- Reheating: To reheat, simply warm them in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds. You can also reheat them in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, which will help maintain their texture.
