Sous Vide Egg Bites (keto)

Ingredients

  • 20 eggs (large or XL)
  • 8oz. / 1 package cream cheese, softened (see Note)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Onion powder
  • Garlic powder
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

Optional add-ins:

  • Cooked bacon, crumbled
  • Italian sausage
  • Breakfast sausage
  • Cheddar cheese
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Feta cheese
  • Hot sauce

Equipment:

  • Sous vide
  • Powerful blender
  • 12 8oz. canning jars with lids

Directions

  1. Set sous vide to 172 degrees F.
  2. Combine cream cheese and heavy cream in blender.  Add eggs and blend until fully combined.
  3. Season mix with onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.  Other spices can be added here if needed.  Note: I do not yet have each amount recorded, so I’ve been adding 1 teaspoon or so of each, blending, then cooking a small amount of the “batter” on the stovetop.  Then adjusting the spices from there until I find what tastes right.  We can edit this page once we get a better idea!
  4. Prepare jars – put add-in ingredients into the jars.  You can use about 1-2 tablespoons of any add-in ingredient in each jar.  It’s recommended to put meat in the bottom of the jars and then any cheese on top, so the cheese is in the middle.
  5. Pulse the blender mix again to redistribute spices, and fill each jar as evenly as you can.  Be sure to leave at least 1/2 inch of space between the liquid and top of jar lip.  Close jars with lids, tightening bands just until you feel resistance.
  6. Cook for one hour.

Note

  • Cream cheese can be softened by removing it from the package, and microwaving in 10 second intervals, until softened completely.
