These velvety egg bites are filled with the sweet-tart flavor of sun-dried tomatoes and creamy goat cheese. Elegant enough to serve at your next brunch, or as a make-ahead breakfast for those hectic weekday mornings.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 2 ounces goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 (4-ounce) mason jars
- cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Fill a large pot with water and place a sous vide immersion cooker into the water. Set temperature to 170 degrees F (77 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
Step 2
Drain oil from tomatoes, reserving 1/2 teaspoon. Chop tomatoes finely and place in a small bowl. Add reserved oil, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and set aside. Combine eggs, cottage cheese, goat cheese, heavy cream, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender; mix until thoroughly blended, 15 to 20 seconds.
Step 3
Spray mason jars with cooking spray. Divide tomato mixture among the jars. Top with egg mixture. Screw on the lids until just barely tightened. Do not over-tighten as the jars can burst in the hot water.
Step 4
Submerge mason jars into the water bath and set timer for 55 minutes.
Step 5
Remove jars to a cooling rack. Run a knife along the outer edge of each egg bite and invert onto a plate, or eat directly from the jar. Let any remaining jars cool, then refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Cook’s Notes:
To reheat, warm egg bites in the microwave at low power (30%) for about 1 minute, or in a sous vide bath for 10 to 15 minutes at 150 degrees F (65 degrees C).
