Step 1

Set the sous vide to 170°F.Prep 10 4 ounce canning jars by spraying them with cooking spray.Place a scant 1 Tablespoon of crumbled bacon into the bottom of each jar.

Step 2

Blend the remaining ingredients (eggs, cottage cheese, Neufchâtel, gruyere, and salt) until they are perfectly smooth.

Step 3

Pour into the canning jars, filling each jar right up to the bottom of the threads for the lid ( see photo above in the post for a visual)

Step 4

Screw on the lids to the jars, tightening just enough to seal them ( "finger tight"). Do not over-tighten the jars or they will break in the water bath. They need to be tight enough to keep the water out but loose enough to let the air inside the jar out.

Step 5

Place in the water bath for at least 1 hour.

Step 6

To Serve:Run a knife around the egg bite and flip it upside down on a plate to serve.To Brown, then Serve:Place on a broiler safe pan and broil on high for 3 - 4 min.
