Ingredients
| 4 | eggs |
| 4 tablespoons (60 g) | cottage cheese |
| 1/4 cup (30 g) | shredded Monterey Jack cheese |
| 1/4 cup (30 g) | shredded Cheddar cheese |
| 1/4 teaspoon | salt |
| 1 1/2 tablespoons (about 20 g) | thinly sliced ham |
| 1 teaspoon | minced red bell pepper |
| 1/4 cup (30 g) | shredded Gruyère cheese (to broil) |
Instructions
- Set your sous vide to 167°F (75°C). This will take some time to heat, so prepare the recipe while it heats up.
- Into a blender add the eggs, cottage cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese and salt.
- Toss in the small piece of red bell pepper and let the blender chop it up.
- Purée until it is a uniform mixture. Turn off the blender and sprinkle in the chopped ham.
- Spray 4 small canning jars (half-pint jelly jars work well) with non-stick spray. Pour the egg mixture into the jars. Wipe the rims clean, then place the lids on.
- Place the jars into the sous vide bath. Once it has reached 167°F (75°C), cook the eggs for about 35 minutes, until completely set. If they seem soft or undercooked, cook an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the bath.
- If desired, pop the egg bites under a broiler, top each with a bit of shredded Gruyère and cook until the cheese begins to brown, just before serving.
