Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 4 slices bacon
• 6 large eggs
• 1 serving cooking spray
• 6 (4-ounce) mason jars
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup cottage cheese
• 0.5 cup shredded Gruyere cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Prepare a sous vide immersion cooker according to the manufacturer's directions, and set the temperature to 170 degrees F (75 degrees C).

Step 2

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Let cool, then chop each slice into 4 to 5 pieces.

Step 3

Combine eggs, cottage cheese, Gruyere cheese, heavy cream, and salt in a blender. Blend until well combined, 15 to 20 seconds.

Step 4

Spray mason jars with cooking spray. Divide bacon between jars. Pour egg mixture over bacon. Screw on the lids until just barely tightened. Do not over-tighten, as the jars can burst in hot water.

Step 5

Submerge jars into water bath and set timer for 55 minutes. When time is up, remove jars and transfer to a cooling rack.

Step 6

If serving immediately, run a knife along outer edge of bites and invert onto a plate, or serve in jars. Let any remaining jars cool, then refrigerate for up to 1 week.
