01
Step 1
Start by filling a large pot with enough water to cover your jars. Clip your sous vide cooker to the side and set the temperature to 172°F (77°C). While the water heats up, lightly grease the insides of your jars with coconut oil to keep the egg bites from sticking. Then, add some ham and red pepper to the bottom of each jar.

Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream until smooth. Mix in the Cheddar cheese, a pinch of salt, and a little nutmeg for flavor. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the jars over the ham and peppers. Screw on the lids and bands just until they're snug—you don’t want to tighten them too much.

Step 3
Carefully place the jars into the warm water bath and let them cook for about an hour. When they’re done, use tongs to take the jars out and set them on a heatproof surface. Let them sit for about 10 minutes before opening to let the egg bites finish setting.
