Sous Vide Egg Bites – Light, tender, and endlessly convenient, these homemade egg bites are a budget-friendly alternative to the café version.
If you’re an egg-person in the morning but not a “stand over the stove before coffee” person, these Sous Vide Egg Bites are a lifesaver.
I started making them on weeks when I needed grab-and-go breakfasts that didn’t feel like a compromise, and they’ve fully earned permanent fridge space.
They’re soft, custardy, and way more forgiving than standing over a skillet hoping your scrambled eggs don’t go rubbery.
They also happen to be the perfect upgrade if you love the Starbucks versions but don’t love the price tag—or how fast they disappear.
And if you’ve already tried my Bacon Cheese Egg Muffins, these egg bites are the same kind of convenient, make-ahead breakfast… just with that silky texture you only get from the sous vide method.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post for the FULL PRINTABLE recipe card.
- Large Eggs
- Cream Cheese – cottage cheese is a great swap to bump up the protein
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese – really can use any cheese that you like
- Heavy Cream
- Salt & Pepper
- Bacon, Cooked And Crumbled
How To Make Sous Vide Egg Bites
- Blend the base – Combine the eggs, cheeses, cream, salt, & pepper in a blender and mix until completely smooth.
- Fill the jars – Pour the mixture into small canning jars, leaving a little room at the top.
- Add the bacon – Divide the cooked, crumbled bacon among the jars and give each one a gentle stir.
- Seal for cooking – Screw the lids on just until snug.
- Sous vide the bites – Place the jars in a 185°F water bath and cook until the egg bites are set and tender.
- Cool & serve – Carefully remove the jars, let them cool slightly, and enjoy warm—or refrigerate for later.
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Blend until silky – A longer blend creates that light, custardy finish, so make sure there are no visible streaks of cream cheese.
- Use room-temperature ingredients – Room-temperature eggs and cream cheese emulsify easily and cook more evenly.
- Check jar placement – Keep the jars upright and spaced out in the water bath so the heat circulates around them.
- Swap in your favorite cheese – Gruyere, Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or feta all melt well and change the flavor profile in fun ways.
- Add mix-ins – Spinach, roasted peppers, caramelized onions, or diced ham work great—just keep add-ins small so they distribute evenly.
- Prep ahead for the week – Cooked egg bites keep well in the fridge for several days and microwave beautifully for quick breakfasts.
- Make them freezer-friendly – Let the bites cool, remove from jars, wrap tightly, and freeze; they reheat quickly and taste just as good.
Yes. You can use a water bath in the oven set to a low temperature. The slow, gentle heat is what gives them their signature consistency.
They keep well for up to 4-5 days when stored in airtight containers or left in their jars. Reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

For the egg bath – are they completely submerged or do we need to keep the lid above water? Thank you!
I completely submerge them when I make them. But you only need them submerged enough so the entire egg mixture inside is under water so it cooks.
Can you freeze in the jar after cooled?
Yes you can
