Recently, my husband scored a sous vide machine for just $30 at Walmart, and he’s been putting it to great use for our family. One of his latest creations? A homemade version of Starbucks Egg Bites — and honestly, they’re even better than the original!

These egg bites are creamy, flavorful, and incredibly versatile. Plus, they’re made in 4 oz mason jars using the sous vide method, which gives them that perfect, velvety texture every time.

Here’s how he makes them:

Ingredients:
    •    10 eggs
    •    1/4 cup full-fat cottage cheese
    •    6 oz Guyeré cheese (Cheddar and Swiss work great too!)
    •    6–8 slices of bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
    •    1 tsp pepper
    •    1 tsp salt
    •    1/2 tsp garlic powder
    •    Optional add-ins: chives, tomatoes — get creative!

Instructions:
    1.    Blend the eggs, cottage cheese, cheese, and seasonings until smooth.
    2.    Spray 4 oz mason jars with nonstick oil to prevent sticking.
    3.    Add fresh bacon bits (and any other add-ins you like) to the bottom of each jar.
    4.    Pour the egg mixture over the add-ins, leaving some space at the top.
    5.    Seal the jars (finger-tight, not too tight!) and place them in the sous vide bath at 172°F for about an hour.
    6.    Once done, let them cool slightly, pop them open, and enjoy!

These egg bites are perfect for breakfast on busy mornings or as a protein-packed snack throughout the day. Give them a try and see if you agree that they’re even better than Starbucks!
