Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup shredded Gruyère cheese (or cheddar)
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Add-Ins Variations

  • Bacon & Gruyère: 4 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
  • Spinach & Feta: ½ cup sautéed spinach, ¼ cup crumbled feta
  • Mushroom & Swiss: ½ cup sautéed mushrooms, ¼ cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • Roasted Red Pepper: ¼ cup chopped roasted red peppers

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) to prepare for slow and gentle cooking.
  2. Prepare Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Create Steam Bath: Fill a baking dish halfway with hot water and place it on the bottom rack of the oven to create steam, mimicking the sous vide effect.
  4. Blend Egg Mixture: In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, Gruyère cheese, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Blend for 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and frothy for velvety texture.
  5. Add Fillings: Evenly distribute your preferred add-ins—such as bacon, spinach, mushrooms, or roasted red peppers—into each muffin cup.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the blended egg mixture over the add-ins, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for puffing.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the egg bites are set, slightly puffed, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the egg bites to cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the tin to finish setting and make removal easier.

Notes

  • You can customize the add-ins to your preference, including cheese types and veggies.
  • Using a blender ensures a creamy, smooth texture similar to Starbucks’ sous vide egg bites.
  • Ensure the water bath in the oven does not splash into the muffin tin for even cooking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave or oven to maintain texture without drying out.
