Steps
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.
Blend the remaining ingredients (eggs, cottage cheese, Neufchâtel, gruyere, and salt) until they are perfectly smooth.
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)
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.
Place in the water bath for at least 1 hour.
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.

Baron Hazen on 2024-09-08 (5 stars): I make these monthly! My kids love them as well as myself! They are delicious. I also mix it us and make a dozen as the recipe states and do another with a white cheddar and spinach!
Shirley on 2024-09-03 (3 stars): Made recipe as is but added a bit of green onion and 1/4 tsp of hot sauce as others suggested. Texture nice. Not very flavorful. Would definitely add more salt and pepper, veggies and a perhaps a stronger cheese to bring out the flavor to taste more like Starbucks.
Since I did not have a sous vide ; tried doing the same thing in the oven for an hour at 170 in silicone muffin tin sitting in a water bath. Uncooked after 1 hr.
Had to bake at 300 for 25 minutes.
Hope that helps others!
Alex on 2024-07-31 (5 stars): I love these. I smoke a lot of my own meat and did a brisket, onion, smoked jalapeño and home smoked Gouda with a dash of Tabasco
Brittany on 2024-04-25 (5 stars): My goodness! I’ve looked for a recipe like this for years! It’s absolutely perfection!!!! Thank you!
Laura on 2023-08-14 (5 stars): Perfect recipe! I do sautéed onions & broccoli,turkey sausage crumbles, cheddar cheese, add garlic powder and dash of Tabasco ! So yummy!
Betty K on 2023-03-09 (5 stars): Great recipe! The egg was velvety, just the right amount of bacon. I popped it into the toaster oven for 5 mins and scarffed it down. I didn't have cream cheese so I used goat cheese instead- turned out great.
Caitlin on 2023-01-30 (5 stars): Taste great!
Mine came out a little more sponge/foam like it had bubbles. Could this be because I grated/blended the egg mixture too long? I’m trying to perfect the texture. Thanks!
Robin on 2022-01-19 (5 stars): Delicious! I subbed in brie and ham because I didn't have gruyer and bacon. The texture is exactly what I was looking for. Also the sous vide method is the best way for these. Thank you!
