01
Step 1
Start by filling a large pot with water and setting up your sous vide cooker. Heat the water to 170°F (77°C) following the instructions that came with your device. While the water heats, drain the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes, but save about half a teaspoon. Chop the tomatoes finely and mix them with the reserved oil, a splash of vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Give it a good stir and set it aside.

Step 2
Next, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, goat cheese, heavy cream, and half a teaspoon of salt in a blender. Blend everything until smooth, about 15 to 20 seconds. Lightly spray the inside of some mason jars with cooking spray, then spoon the tomato mixture evenly into the jars. Pour the egg mixture over the tomatoes, filling the jars but leaving a little space at the top.

Step 3
Screw the lids on just until they're snug—don’t tighten them too much to avoid any accidents in the hot water. Carefully lower the jars into the sous vide bath and cook for about 55 minutes. When they’re done, take the jars out and place them on a cooling rack.

Step 4
To serve, run a knife around the edge of each egg bite and flip it out onto a plate, or just enjoy them straight from the jar. Any leftovers can cool completely before storing in the fridge for up to a week.
Why you’ll love it
These egg bites are creamy and flavorful, with a perfect balance of tangy goat cheese and rich sun-dried tomatoes. Cooking them sous vide ensures a smooth, custard-like texture that’s hard to achieve with traditional methods. They make a great protein-packed breakfast or snack that’s easy to prepare ahead of time.
How to serve
These bites are delicious warm or at room temperature. Pair them with a fresh green salad or toast for a light meal. They also work well alongside roasted vegetables or a fruit salad to balance the savory flavors.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently in a microwave or steam to keep the texture creamy. For longer storage, freeze the bites in individual portions and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
