Who doesn’t love egg bites? This healthy sous vide egg bites recipe is inspired by my friend @everythingerica who–like all of us–fell in love with egg bites but not their store-bought price. She’s figured out a method to help us all make our beloved egg bites from the comfort of our own home. These are a great option for meal prepping for the week. My take on this recipe utilizes fat free cheddar and chives for a cheesy flavorful egg bite.

Grab your blender and silicon muffin liners and let’s get started!

Start by preheating the oven to 325F. In the blender combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped chives.

Arrange the muffin liners in a baking dish. Spray the muffin liners with non-stick cooking spray. Pour equal amounts of the egg mixture into each liner, then top each with the shredded cheese.

Pour water in the baking dish around the muffin liners about 1/2 way up each liner.

Bake for 35 minutes or until cooked through. Allow to cool, then pop out of the liners. Enjoy!

Storage and reheating

Store the egg bites in an air tight container (or bag) in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. If you plan on eating them beyond that time frame, I recommend freezing them in a freezer storage bag. To heat them, you can either use a microwave, toaster oven, or air fryer (or any combination of the three) depending on if you want them to reheat soft or with a little crunch on top.
