Savory with bacon and rich Gruyere flavor, these are easy enough to make for every day but something you could serve to guests for a decadent brunch. I like to make an entire package of bacon anytime I make it by laying it on a parchment-lined sheet tray and baking at 400°F/205°C for 16-20 minutes, but you'll only need 3 pieces for this recipe. Keep extra on hand for other days, or when you're ready to make more egg bites!

The versatility of this recipe is another winning factor. I've experimented with different variations, adding spinach, mushrooms, or even different types of cheese to personalize each bite. The possibilities are endless!

The sous vide cooking method itself is incredibly forgiving. You don't need to worry about overcooking or undercooking the eggs; the precise temperature control ensures perfectly set eggs every time. It's a foolproof method that even a novice cook can master. Moreover, it eliminates the need for constant monitoring, allowing me to multitask and focus on other aspects of my day. This is especially valuable when mornings are already hectic.

Step-by-step

    • Set your Anova Precision Cooker for 172°F/77.8°C.
    • In a blender or food processor, combine eggs, cheeses, and salt. Blend at medium-high speed until mixture is well-combined and smooth.
    • Place your jars on the work surface and push a half-slice of bacon into the bottom of each one.
    • Divide the egg & cheese mixture evenly among the jars.
    • Attach two-part lid and close to fingertip tightness. This means using only your fingertips to screw on the ring; if they are too tight, the air pressure within will not be able to escape and the jars may shatter in the bath.
    • Once closed, submerge the jars in the water bath and set the timer for an hour.
    • Remove from the bath and enjoy straight from the cup or slide a butter knife around the edge of the jar, pressing gently inwards as you do to loosen base. Invert jar onto a heat-safe surface and either sear with a blowtorch for color or place under the broiler for a few minutes.
