High Protein Sous Vide Style Sausage and Cheese Egg Bites
My love for fluffy, delicious egg bites knows no bounds. They are the easiest grab and go breakfast, so versatile, and reheat great. These egg bites I made recently have been my go to! 1 point each on Weight Watchers with 12g of protein per bite! I have 2 for a serving which packs 24g of protein in two of these egg bites!
What you need to make these egg bites:
- 6 Chicken and Maple Breakfast Sausages, or any breakfast sausage of your choice
- 7 eggs and 3 egg whites
- 2oz part skim mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup of Cottage cheese, Good Culture 2% preferred
- Siicone muffin tin
- Rimmed baking sheet
- Blender
How To make these eggbites
This recipe is super simple! First, start by taking the 6 chicken sausages and microwaving them for about 1 minute, enough so you can cut them easily, they don’ thave to be fully cooked. Then chop them into smaller pieces, end result should look something like this:
Next in a blender or bullet, mix together 7 eggs, 3 egg whites, and 1 cup of cottage cheese about 30 seconds until it reaches a smooth consistency. You can replace the 3 egg whites with just 1 egg but making it with a few egg whites in place of an egg adds some extra protein.
In the bottom of a silicone muffin tin, spread out the 2 oz of part skim mozzarella cheese evenly, then add the cut up chicken sausage. Next, pour the egg mixture evenly into each cup, then give each one a quick stir. Make sure your silicone baking tin is resting on top of a rimmed baking sheet. Now, the important part that gives it the sous vide vibes, is adding a few cup of water to the baking sheet, enough to cover the bottom of the muffin tin! This will give the oven some steam and allow the egg bites to get that fluffy texture that Starbucks and Dunkin get!
Bake at 350 degrees for about 35-40 minutes, Check with a toothpick or fork that they are done but sticking it into an egg bite and making sure it comes out clean. Allow the egg bites to rest a few minutes before popping them out. They should pop out super easily, if they don’t, they’re not done!
You can do a variety of things with this base, switching out the cheeses, adding veggies, using bacon, and so on and so forth! Get creative! But either way, these will become your favorite go to breakfast!
