Want bacon & eggs during the week but don’t have time? These Bacon Egg Bites are a breakfast game-changer. Make them ahead so you can grab & go any time! And best of all, these babies are actually “SOUS VIDE” with no fancy equipment besides an oven, a pan, some water, a blender, and a silicone muffin tray.
No more drive-thru egg bites for us! These babies are easy to make and can be filled with all the ingredients you love (like Grimm’s Traditional Thick Sliced Bacon). If you’ve ever made a cheesecake, this technique is similar in that you’re creating a steamy environment in the oven to “sous vide” them and have them stay fluffy (even days later!). Creating a steamy environment is easy — simply preheat the oven with a pan of water inside. You can also add an inch of water to the pan that you place the silicone muffin tray on. Since these silicone muffin trays are quite flimsy, you’ll need to place them on a pan or put the silicone pan into a standard steel muffin tray.
We love that Grimm's Fine Foods guarantees that their products contain absolutely no fillers or bi-products and that they try to make their products as low in salt and fat as possible. With so many options that are gluten, lactose, and soy-free with no MSG added we know that we can find great ingredients for all our recipes.
BACON EGG BITES
No time for eggs & bacon? Try these!
Ingredients:
- 6 slices of Grimm’s Traditional Thick-Sliced Bacon, cooked and finely chopped
- 12 eggs
- 3/4 cup shredded cheese
- 2/3 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tbsp chives, finely chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
instructions:
- Preheat a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Cook the bacon, flipping 1-2 times, until crispy. Place on a paper towel to absorb the grease then chop into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
- Fill up an oven-safe baking dish (such as a brownie pan or oven-safe glass dish) with water and place it in the oven. Preheat the oven to 300 F (with the water dish in it).
- In a blender, add the eggs, shredded cheese, cottage cheese, chives, salt & pepper. Blend for about 15 seconds until just blended. Add bacon bits and using a spoon, mix until well combined.
- Add approximately one inch of water to an oven-safe pan followed by the silicone muffin mold. Pour the bacon-egg mixture into a silicone muffin mold.
- Place in the preheated oven and cook until completely set about 30-32 minutes. Allow to cool before removing. Pop them out and enjoy some now and save the rest for a week of breakfasts!
