Love the Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites? Make your very own recipe at home! Our Cheesy Sous Vide Egg Bites are made with eggs, milk, and cheese and are ready in under 60 minutes.

Not only do these egg bites pack in the protein, but they also taste EXACTLY like the ones made at Starbucks. I live about 3 blocks from one and had an obsession for a while so we figured it was time to make them in our own kitchen!

Sous vide egg bites aren’t your average egg bites. They come out like little soufflés and are perfectly cooked ALL OVER every time all thanks to the precision of the sous vide. Our sous vide egg bites recipe rivals Starbucks and are made with 3 ingredients – eggs, milk, and cheese. I love serving mine with hot sauce on top. #doit

A quick rundown: Prepare your egg bites in a 4-oz mason jar with cheese on the bottom and egg on top. Mix and seal shut. Submerge the jars in water and set the sous vide bath to 172ºF and cook for 1 hour.

Delicious! I added a bit of bacon, onions and sweet peppers along with the cheese. My husband enjoyed as well. Took advantage of the one hour cooking time. Looking forward to using this device in other meals.-Carolyn

What do you need for sous vide egg bites?

  • Eggs: this recipe calls for 4 eggs.
  • Milk: milk helps make these egg bites super fluffy.
  • Shredded cheese: we used Colby jack.
  • Sous vide machine: I’m sure you already have your sous vide handy, but this is what you will use to heat your water bath.
  • Large stock pot: you’ll need to make sure your stock pot is tall enough to fully submerge the jars with water. If your pot is too small, try stacking your jars.
  • 6-9 4 oz. Mason Jars: make sure you have the lids too!

PS: if you don’t have a sous vide machine, check out our Instant Pot Egg Bites, for a super similar recipe.

Substitutions and Variations

While we kept our recipe super simple you can make these your own by using egg whites only and a different cheese. We’ve made these with yellow cheddar, gouda, and mozzarella. Since cottage cheese is big right now, we bet you can whisk in a few tablespoons of that too!

If you’d like to add other ingredients try:

  1. cooked peppers and onions
  2. cooked breakfast sausage/bacon
  3. sauteed garlic
  4. fresh herbs

FAQ

How long does it take to sous vide eggs?

Set your timer to 1 hour and let your egg cups cook.

Can I use just egg whites instead of a full egg?

Yes, you can use just egg whites! However, you may want to increase the number of egg whites you use so that each jar fills up about 3/4 of the way full.

Can you sous vide eggs for longer than an hour?

Yes, they can! We don’t recommend cooking your eggs for any longer than 2 hours.

Are sous vide eggs healthy?

Sous vide eggs are a great healthy breakfast option for those looking to add protein to their diet. This recipe for egg bites is also low carb, gluten-free, and both keto and paleo-friendly!

Sous Vide Egg Bites Recipe

These delicious and cheesy sous vide egg bites are little bites of heaven. This sous vide eggs recipe is made with 3 main ingredients and is gluten-free, low carb, and high protein!

Ingredients

  • 10 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk we used unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup Colby jack shredded cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • First, fill a large stockpot halfway up with water. You’ll want to be able to submerge all of your mason jars with water, so keep that in mind.

  • Next, screw your sous vide to the side of your pot and turn to 172ºF. While your water bath is heating up, prepare egg bites.

  • Thoroughly spray 9 4-oz. mason jarswith nonstick cooking spray. Then, spoon about a tablespoon of shredded cheese onto the bottom of each mason jar.

  • Crack 10 eggs inside a medium bowl or Pyrex. Add the milk and whisk until scrambled.

  • Fill each mason jar up about 3/4 of the way full with the egg mixture. You should get about 9 egg cups. Give each egg cup a little stir and then season the tops with salt and pepper, to taste.

  • Now it's time to screw on the lids of your mason jars. You want to make sure that you don't fully tighten your mason jars so that they do not explode in the water bath. Screw on tops and then unscrew one turn.

  • Submerge mason jars inside of the water bath. You should see lots of bubbles come to the top. This is good!

    Cheesy Sous Vide Egg Bites (13)

  • Set the timer for 1 hour and let cook.

  • Once the timer goes off, use tongs to remove themason jars (they will be hot) and then unscrew them. Your egg cups should feel like a souffle. If they're still runny, you need to cook them longer. If you're ready to eat, grab a fork!

Tips & Notes

  • Stock pot size? This recipe makes 9 4-oz. egg cups. The amount of egg cups you make depends on the size of your stock pot. So, before you start cracking eggs, see how many mason jars you can fit on the bottom of your pot. You can also try stacking the jars in your pot.
  • Don’t overflow jars: Make sure you buy nothing bigger than a large egg so that everything fits perfectly in your small mason jar! You don’t want your sous vide eggs overflowing.
  • Oil jars: Make sure that each Mason Jar is well-oiled. I repeat, DO NOT forget to spray/oil your jars before adding in the egg. You do this so that the egg bites don’t stick to the edges. Use something like coconut oil cooking spray or olive oil to grease the inside of your Jars.

I’m interested in trying this with glass yogurt jars. Do you think it would work to put foil over the yogurt jars, or too much chance of leaking?

You’ll want something with a tight seal, so we wouldn’t recommend just covering with foil. Hope this helps!

I have a question and haven’t made but giving 5 stars because I don’t know if not putting a star rating would effect negatively. I’m sure it will be awesome. Is it safe to use plastic Tupperware with a plastic lid or can you only use glass jars?

Hi Joe, We do not recommend using plastic tupperware for these egg bites because they risk melting!

These are yummy but I cannot seem to make them right. They end up too dense, and the outsides feel too smooth and a bit rubbery. Any ideas?

I have found 45 minutes works best for me when making these. I do find that eggs can get overcooked in the sous vide bath.

Hi, I haven’t made this yet but it sure looks great! When you posted this, the sous vide cost $99 but now its $199. YIKES! By any chance do you think making these in a hot water bath, in those jars, would give a similar result?

I have a can of freeze-dried veggies. Has anyone used something like this? Can I just add a tsp of the dried product to the egg mixture or should I try and hydrate the veggies first? They are very small chopped pieces.

Tried a few variatiations-
cheese, green chile, bacon & red onion
Cheese, chives & bacon
Salsa, red onion, bacon & cheese

They were all SO perfect. I just used recycled jars that were only about half filled once I put everything in. Ialso had them in whole the water was pre hearing. Worked like a charm.

I am just starting out with my sous vide, and I have to do a lot of my meal prep and cooking on my one day off I have per week, my question is the egg bites can they be frozen? And if not how long after they are prepared are they shelf (refrigerator) stable?

I haven’t personally tried to freeze these egg bites, but I’m pretty sure you can! And these will last in the fridge for around 3 days.
