Cast of Ingredients for Sous Vide Bacon and Jarlsberg Egg Bites
I chose to use Bacon because, well, BACON! Everyone loves Bacon….except for me. 🙂 I don’t mind it in small doses, but my husband loves the stuff! I chose Jarlsberg Cheese, because it is one of my favorite types of cheese and brings back memories from my childhood; especially my Dad.
Ingredients for Sous Vide Bacon and Jarlsberg Egg Bites.
- Eggs
- Crisp Bacon
- Cream Cheese
- Heavy Cream
- Bacon Grease or Butter
- Jarlsberg Cheese
Fry up the Bacon
Before starting this recipe, fry up some bacon in a cast iron skillet. If you want use the bacon grease to grease the mason jars, pour a little into each mason jar.
Ham can be used in place of bacon.
What is Jarlsberg Cheese?
Jarlsberg is a mild buttery cheese that originates from Norway.
It’s a little sweet and nutty and is an overall multi-purpose cheese.
There is a similar taste to Swiss cheese. Jarlsberg has big holes too.
It is great melted on bagels and in my Pressure Cooker Macaroni and Cheese
It is a nice and melty cheese, so try some on top of, well, anything!
Add all ingredients to Vitamix or Blender
How to Make Starbuck Sous Vide Egg Bites.
Eggs, cream, salt and cream cheese are whisked up in a a Vitamix or Instant Pot Ace 60 Blender until frothy.
Small mason jars need to be greased really well.
Bacon or ham is added to the glass jars.
The frothy eggs with the cheese are poured into the jars.
Grease the Jars REALLY WELL!!!!
Why Use Mason Jars?
They are the perfect shape for copycat Starbuck’s Egg Bites.
They hold up nicely during sous vide and keep out the water.
Sous Vide Jarlsberg Egg Bites can be stored in the mason jars for future meals..
Divide up the Bacon
Whether you use bacon or ham, they go into the mason jars or the silicone egg bite trays first.
Sausage, pepperoni, salami can be used in place of bacon.
Pour the Egg Mixture Over Bacon
Tips and Tricks
- Make sure to grease the mason jars or egg bite trays.
- Process the eggs until they are frothy.
- If using bacon, make sure it is crisp.
- For sous vide cooking, the jars can be filled all the way up to the groves.
Seal up the Jars
Put the lids on the Mason Jars and tighten just past “finger tight.”
The jars will be submerged in the water, so you want to make sure no water will get into the Jars.
Add Jars to the Water Bath
Place all jars into the Water Bath.
Fill the Instant Pot DUO Plus, Mealthy MultiPot or Pressure Cooker or any other large pot, with water.
Make sure to leave enough room for your Sous Vide Circulator, so that the water won’t go above the “Max” line.
Set Temperature to 172, Time for 60 Minutes
Once the Sous Vide Circulator comes to temperature, it will begin to count down.
Remove Jars with Tongs or Jar Remover
The mason jars are super hot.
A canning jar lifter is handy to remove them from the pot.
Remove the Lids and take a butter knife and loosen the Egg Bites and then pop out.
Can I Freeze Starbucks Egg Bites?
- Yes, they freeze well.
- Store them in the mason jars.
- If using an egg bite tray, store the extras in a air tight container.

Sous Vide Bacon and Jarlsberg Egg Bites (Starbucks)
This receipt looks delicious! I just ordered the egg bite trays. I was wondering if I could still use mason jars to cook these in my instant pot. If so, do the jars need to be immersed in water, or can they be above the water with a trivet?
Would there be any time change when using an 8qt IP?
No, Beth. Jill
I make these frequently. I typically use flavored cream cheese and switch up the meats and cheeses. I’d like to try freezing them. Do they need to be frozen in the little jars, or can they be removed and wrapped tightly.
Thank you.
They can be removed. Jill
I made mine with bacon, Gruyere cheese, and green onions. Delicious. Next time I will saute some mushrooms and bell pepper. Used the egg bites mold using the link you suggested so hope you got credit for it from Amazon. Will definitely make them again. I understand I can freeze them and let them defrost and then reheat. Looking forward to making more.
Thank you, Margaret, I am glad you enjoyed the bites. Jill
I made this using my Anova sous vide and was my first time trying egg bites. I can confirm this recipe is easy and very delish!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you, Sandie. Jill
What’s the best way to reheat?
I made these yesterday and they were delicious. I froze the rest and heated them up this morning and they were horrible. Do you have any tips of what I might’ve done wrong?
What setting can i use on the instapot? I will be using the madon jars. And how much time do i cooek it for?
These are better than Starbucks! I am trying the Keto Diet. Do you have he nutritional values forvthis recipe? Thanks
Thanks, glad you like the bites. I’ve not yet calculated nutritional values. Jill
I made six of these (in mason jars). I opened one of them immediately after cooking, it was so good. The rest of them, can I keep them in the fridge, unopened until the other time (later this week)? I can “warm” them in the microwave. Would that work?
Hi Sandy. I am glad you liked the egg bites. They can be warmed. Jill
I don’t have the circulator, can I cook theee a different way? I have the Duo Plus.
Jill, is this recipe supposed to fill 2 egg bite trays or just 1 tray (6 portions?)
thanks
Hi LT. It will fill two trays. Jill
I don’t have an Instant Pot, I have a Cuisinart. It doesn’t have a steam function, any options for me?
Can you make these in mason jars without the circulator? Or do you need the silicone tray to do it that way?
Was coming to ask the same thing.
I make them in the instant pot. Instead of putting on the lids, I cover the jars with foil. I use the steam setting for 8 minutes, then let them NPR for 10 minutes. It works perfectly!
How long can these stay in the fridge? Can’t wait for tomorrow morning to try these.
A couple of days. Jill
These sound wonderful. I don’t have a Sous Vide Circulatory yet so I’m going to make them in silicone trays. Will I need to cover the trays to keep water out? Thank you for all the wonderful recipes.
Yes, trays should be covered. Jill
I just got the IP Ultra. It can do a type of Sous Vide without the circulator. Do you think you could make egg bites that way? Have you tried the Ultra for Sous Vide?
Hi Terra. Definitely. Jill
Oh my my. These are fantastic. I added some torn baby spinach too and cooked in my pressure cooker using the baby food tray.
Have you tried making these in the Instant Pot Ultra instead of using the circulator? I have not tried Sous Vide in mine yet, but it is supposed to be the next best thing to buying a circulator.
It does work well in the Ultra too. 🙂 Jill
In ultra pot is it the same setting? 172 for 1 hour, no pressure?
Yes.
If using the ultra do you still use the lids on the mason jars or use foil. Thank you so much!
If the jars are submersed, the lids would need to be on. Jill
Do you put the lids on the egg bite trays?
Sandy, no. Jill
Tried this today (kinda) I borrowed other people ingredients. Anyway, must not have put one lid tight enough it’s leaking! Sigh. Ah well. Given we had our dishwasher leaking for at least 2 weeks, and now have the insurance company in with mitigators (People to try things out) and my kitchen is filled with big fans and dehumidifiers I am not going to complain. It will still taste good.
Oh I feel the pain on the dishwasher leaking. We have been dealing with the same. The egg bites are wonderful and the IP is a life saver in these situations.
If I wanted to freeze these, how long would I be able to freeze them for ?
We just discovered these at Starbucks. Thank you for the recipe. Can you make these Shaw’s and freeze them?
Loved it! You don’t even need cream cheese, and add sauted mushrooms.
Thank you so much for this recipe!!! I make this weekly for my 15 month old twins and they can’t eat it enough. I made them this morning but I had to subsitiute sour cream for the cream cheese and I couldn’t tell the difference :). I also decided to be fancy and subsitute the butter for scallot/cilantro compund butter and it was heavenly (no meat). Thank you again!! I can’t eait to see more Sous Vide recipes!
I make them in the instant pot. Instead of putting on the lids, I cover the jars with foil. I use the steam setting for 8 minutes, then let them NPR for 10 minutes. It works perfectly!
I really want to make these but don’t want to get the machine.
Do you know another way that would work?
I do virtually the same in silicone muffin liners.
Saute veggies (I like asparagus, mushrooms, and/or broccoli) and meat if you eat it (bacon, sausage, ham, chicken), plop into ungreased muffin liners, pour over beaten eggs, spoon flavor stuff over (cheese, pesto), cook 350F for 20-30 min till firm in career.
