Delicious, customizable egg bites, cooked in hot water rather than being baked, meaning they are perfectly creamy and never dried out. Use whatever toppings you love! The instructions here include an option to cook using a Sous Vide, but also a regular pot on a stovetop, if you don't have one.

Ingredients

Egg Base

8 eggs
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk plain, not vanilla
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Toppings

Jones Dairy Farm No Sugar Pork Sausage Little Links cooked and chopped
bacon cooked and crumbled
bell peppers chopped
herbs chopped
sun dried tomatoes chopped
kale shredded
olives sliced
feta cheese
cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

Put a Sous Vide in a large pot, and fill it with water at least 7 inches deep. Set the Sous Vide to heat the water to 172º F.
If you do not have a Sous Vide, add a rack to the bottom of a pot and heat the water over medium heat. Use a thermometer to find a setting that will hold the water +/- 5º F from 172ºF. The water won't be boiling, but will have some air bubbles forming on the bottom of the pot.
Add all of the ingredients for the egg base into a large measuring cup, and whisk. I use a measuring cup so that it's easy to pour into the jars.
Prepare toppings and add 2-3 tablespoons of toppings to each of the jars. Top each jar off with the egg mixture.
Screw a lid onto each jar, tightening well, and then add to the water once it's at temperature. Cook the egg bites for 1 hour. Once the time is up, check 1 of the jars to make sure the egg is fully set. If not, leave them in the water an additional 10-15 minutes.

Notes

*The nutrition facts are just for the egg base. The toppings you choose will add to the nutrition of each egg bite.

Almond milk makes these creamy like the custard used in a quiche. You can also opt to make these with dairy milk by using milk or half and half in place of the almond milk.
