Ham and Cheddar Sous Vide Egg Bites

Ham and Cheddar Sous Vide Egg Bites

Like most people, my mornings are rushed. I love to make these on the weekend for a quick, protein-filled breakfast during the week. They reheat well and are good for 5 days in the fridge. The texture is light and airy.

Yield:
6 egg bites
Servings:

Ingredients

  • 6 jam jars
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil, or as needed
  • 2 ounces black forest ham, diced
  • ¼ cup diced red bell pepper
  • 6 large eggs
  • ¼ cup 10% cream
  • ½ cup shredded medium Cheddar cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch freshly ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1
Fill a stockpot with enough water to just cover the jars. Attach a sous vide immersion cooker to the side of the pot. Set temperature to 172 degrees F (77 degrees C).

Step 2
Generously oil the inside of each jar with coconut oil. Add ham and red pepper to the bottom of the jars.

Step 3
Whisk eggs and cream together in a bowl until well combined. Stir in Cheddar cheese, salt, and nutmeg. Divide egg mixture among the jars. Close jars with lids and metal bands; tighten using the tips of your fingers only. Do not over-tighten.

Step 4
Immerse in the water bath and cook for 1 hour. Carefully remove the jars, using tongs, to a heat-resistant surface. Let rest 10 minutes before opening the jars.

Cook’s Note:

It is normal to see tiny bubbles escape from the jars as they heat.
