Spinach, Red Pepper, Mozarella Sous Vide Style Egg Bites
I can not tell you how much I love the fluffy, sous vide style egg bites. The fluffy texture is something I just constantly wanted but couldn’t make at home no matter how many times I tried. I didn’t want to buy a sous video machine, and that’s when I came across a recipe by one of my instagram friends EverythingErica making her version of at home sous vide style egg bites in her oven!
Since then, I have done lots of playing around and trial and error to make my own version, and this has been my absolute favorite so far! One of the keys I found to make clean up easier, was making them in this silicone muffin pan that I got from amazon! You can grab it here .. I was using individual silicone cupcake molds which totally work great but are way more complicated to clean. I find using silicone instead of metal gives it a way better texture!
There are SO many variations that can be done, but this is what you’ll need to make these!
You can have 2 of these delicious egg bites for ZERO Weight Watchers points, or 4 for only 1 Weight Watcher point. Such an easy on the go breakfast and each bite has 7 grams of protein!
What You’ll Need
- 8 eggs
- 1 cup of fat free cottage cheese (or 1%.. I count 1% as zero also)
- 2 points of reduced fat mozzarella cheese (the brand I used was 23 grams for 2 points)
- diced roasted red peppers (i used them from a jar)
- chopped fresh spinach leaves
- 1-2 cups of water
- silicone muffin pan (12 ct)
- rimmed baking sheet
- blender or bullet
How To Make These Egg Bites
I wanted to keep this pretty simple, and I think I accomplished that! First, start by cracking 8 whole eggs into a blender or bullet. Add 1 cup of fat free or 1% cottage cheese, and 2 points of reduced fat mozzarella cheese. I used the good and gather brand from Target which was 23 grams (or about 3 tbsp) use any cheese you have just make sure it is 2 points worth, I always suggest weighing and tracking in grams in the WW app. Blend all of these items together about 20-30 seconds.
Put the silicone mat onto a rimmed baking sheet before filling. (I learned the hard way by feeling it on my counter and then trying to move it that its better when it’s on something solid!)
Chop up roasted red peppers and fresh spinach, and start to cover the bottom of each one and then add the egg mixture on top. This will make 12 bites.
Add about 1-2 cups of water to the baking sheet, to cover the bottom of it and give it the sous vide texture.
Bake 350 about 40-45 minutes. Once you tale them out, let them sit an additional 5-10 minutes. They should pop out super easy in one piece. If they don’t, theyre not done so put them back in for a few more minutes.
How do I store and reheat these egg bites?
I like to store mine in an air tight container in the fridge up to 3-4 days.I microwave them for about 1 minute. You can also freeze them!
Hope you enjoy!
