Bacon and Gruyere Starbucks Egg Bites (Oven & Sous Vide Recipe)

Описание: These Egg Bites will have you transported to Starbucks in no time. They taste pretty much identical and have a very similar texture to the Starbucks version. Hope you enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

8 eggs
16 oz (1 LB) cottage cheese
1 pkg bacon
1 ¾ cup shredded gruyere cheese
1 ¾ cup shredded monterey jack cheese
1 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp hot sauce
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper

STEPS:

1. Start by cooking your bacon. Get a package of bacon. Add strips to large sheet tray and space out a bit. You could use two trays if you need more space. Add to cold oven and set to 400 degrees. Set a timer for 16 minutes and monitor the bacon. Once crispy, remove from oven and add bacon strips to a paper towel lined plate. Pour the bacon grease on the tray to a bowl since we will be using this later.

2. Grab a high speed blender and add in the 8 cracked eggs, 16 oz cottage cheese, 1 ¾ cup shredded gruyere cheese, 1 ¾ cup shredded monterey jack cheese, 1 tbsp melted butter, 1 tsp hot sauce, 1 tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper. Blend up until smooth and set aside.

3. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Grab a muffin tin tray and a roasting pan. You will set the muffin tin in the roasting tray and add a small layer of water so that it Is just covering a little bit of the bottom of the muffin tin. Brush the muffin tin with the bacon grease so each one is coated. Cut up the bacon so that it is in a large bacon bit size. Add some of the bacon bits to the bottom of the muffin tray. Pour in the egg mixture leaving a little room at the top. Sprinkle a little more bacon on top then bake in the middle of the oven for 30-35 minutes. You want the egg bites to set so there shouldn’t be any remaining liquid present. You could poke one of them with a toothpick and it should come out clean.

4. Remove egg bites from the muffin tin and enjoy! You could cut around with a knife if they get a little stuck.
