Bacon and Gruyere Sous Vide Egg Bites

Step 1

Fill a large pot with water and place a sous vide immersion cooker into the water. Set temperature to 170 degrees F (75 degrees C) according to manufacturer's directions.

Step 2

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Cool and chop each slice into 4 to 5 pieces.

Step 3

Combine eggs, cottage cheese, Gruyere cheese, heavy cream, and salt in a blender; run blender until thoroughly blended, 15 to 20 seconds.

Step 4

Spray mason jars with cooking spray. Divide bacon between each jar. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the bacon. Screw on the lids until just barely tightened. Do not over-tighten as the jars can burst in the hot water.

Step 5

Submerge mason jars into the water bath and set timer for 55 minutes. When timer is up, remove jars and transfer to a cooling rack. If serving immediately, run a knife along the outer edge and invert onto a plate; you can also eat directly from the jar. Let any remaining jars cool, then refrigerate for up to 1 week.
