Ingredients

  • 8 egg whites
  • 5 tablespoons cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup Monterey jack cheese shredded
  • 1 tablespoon feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon red bell pepper
  • 2 dashes Tobasco or other hot sauce
  • 2 teaspoon green onion tops

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Set your sous vide for 167 degrees. This will take some time to heat.
  2. So prepare the recipe while this heats up. Into a blender or a food processor add 8 egg whites, 5 tablespoons cottage cheese, 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1 tablespoon feta cheese, 1 tablespoon cold butter, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 2 dashes tabasco.  Blend very well.
  3. Add in red bell pepper and green onion tops, pulse blender a few times to chop these vegetables up.
  4. Spray 4 small canning jars (I use half-pint jelly jars) with a non-stick spray. Pour egg mixture into jars. Wipe the rim of the jar to make sure it is clean, then place the lid on the jar. Place jars into the sous vide.
  5. Once the sous vide has reached 167 degrees, cook eggs for about 60 minutes or until they are completely set. If you do not wait until the sous vide has reached proper temperature the eggs may not set fully. If the eggs are soft or appear to be undercooked, cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Remove eggs from the jars when they are done.
  7. If desired pop the sous vide egg bites under a broiler until the cheese begins to brown just before serving.

Notes

  • For the most authentic texture, don't skip the blending step - it incorporates air into the mixture for that perfect fluffiness. When filling the jars, tap them gently on the counter to remove air bubbles. The fingertip-tight lid technique is crucial - it allows air to escape during cooking without letting water in. For meal prep, make a double batch on Sunday for grab-and-go breakfasts all week. These egg bites taste even better the next day after the flavors have had time to meld.
