Sous Vide Bacon and Jarlsberg Egg Bite

Sous Vide Bacon and Jarlsberg Egg Bites

Everyone is doing Sous Vide Egg Bites because of Starbucks newest craze. At $5.00 a pop, I can understand why homemade Sous Vide Egg Bites would be very attractive. Depending on the size pot you use, the number of Sous Vide Egg Bites you can prepare at once, is up to you.

I used my Instant Pot Smart for the bath, which is 6 Quarts and fits 12 4 oz Mason Jars, which is 6 servings. I also used my new Instant Pot Sous Vide Circulator, which the company sent to me to try.

It is a nice little device, which hooks right onto your Instant Pot or other Pressure Cooker. This is a great breakfast for those doing the Keto diet.

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.

Starting when I was very young, my Dad hosted Wine Tastings in our home. Those were so much fun. Of course, I was too young to drink the wine, but I loved the food that came between glasses. Our friend owned Leon’s Liquors and would loan us wine glasses and big wheels of cheese, one of which was Jarlsberg. The Wine Tastings continued and I was finally able to participate in the Wine portion, as well.

Jarlsberg is a mild buttery cheese that originates from Norway. It’s a little sweet and nutty and is an overall multi-purpose cheese. I love it on Bagels and in Pressure Cooker Macaroni and Cheese and I love to grab a chunk, as a snack. It is a nice and melty cheese, so try some on top of, well, anything!

Fry up the Bacon

Before starting this recipe, fry up some Bacon in your Lodge 10.25″ Cast Iron Skillet. Drain off the Bacon Grease and set aside.

Add all ingredients to Vitamix or Blender

Add the eggs, cream, salt and Cream Cheese to a Vitamix or Blender. If you have neither, just use a Whisk or a Stick Blender and Whisk the eggs until frothy.

Grease the Jars REALLY WELL!!!!

Seriously guys, grease your Mason Jars really, really well. Eggs stick to glass super badly and it is bitch to get out. Since you have just cooked some bacon for the recipe, you might consider using bacon grease. I experimented with various types of oil and the bacon grease, gave the best release. The Sous Vide Bacon and Jarlsberg Egg Bites just popped right out of the jars. In the above photo, the jar in the lower left was greased with butter. That Bite was not as easy as the other jars, to remove.

Divide up the Bacon

Divide up the Bacon between all six Mason Jars. I broke the Bacon into several pieces, to ensure a piece in each Bite. I take small bites, so, there’s that…….

Pour the Egg Mixture Over Bacon

Carefully pour the Egg Mixture into the Mason Jars over the Bacon. The Mixture will come up to right to where the groves start. Divide the grated Jarlsberg Cheese amongst the Mason Jars.

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 your Pressure Cooker cooking pot 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

Place the Sous Vide Circulator into your Pot and lock it in place. Set the temperature to 172 degrees and the time to 60 minutes. The Sous Vide Circulator will begin to come up to temperature. Once it gets to temperature, it will begin to count down.

Remove Jars with Tongs or Jar Remover

Carefully remove the Mason Jars with a Canning Jar Lifter or Tongs. The Jars will be very hot, so be careful.

Remove the Lids and take a butter knife and loosen the Egg Bites and then pop out.
