Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare your sous vide immersion circulator according to the manufacturer's instructions, setting the water bath to 170°F (75°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces. (10 minutes)

03

Step

In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, Gruyere, heavy cream, and salt. Blend until completely smooth and frothy. (1 minute)

04

Step

Lightly coat the inside of each mason jar with cooking spray. Divide the crumbled bacon evenly among the jars, then carefully pour the egg mixture over the bacon, filling each jar about 3/4 full. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Gently screw the lids onto the jars, being careful not to overtighten. Place the jars into the preheated water bath, ensuring they are fully submerged. Set a timer for 55 minutes. (1 minute)

06

Step

Once the timer goes off, carefully remove the jars from the water bath and place them on a cooling rack. Allow them to cool slightly before opening. (2 minutes)

07

Step

To serve, run a thin knife around the inside edge of each jar to loosen the egg bite. Invert onto a plate or enjoy directly from the jar. For later, cool completely and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

For an even richer flavor, try using smoked Gruyere.
Ensure the mason jar lids are only finger-tight to prevent cracking during the sous vide process.
If you don't have mason jars, oven-safe ramekins tightly covered with foil can be used as a substitute. Adjust cooking time as needed.

    I was a little nervous about the jars breaking, but they turned out perfectly. Thanks for the tip about not over-tightening the lids!
