If you’re anything like me, you’re always on the hunt for that perfect, easy-to-make breakfast that you can grab and go during those busy mornings.
Well, let me introduce you to one of my all-time favorites—sous vide egg bites. If you haven’t tried them yet, you’re in for a treat!
Sous vide egg bites are these wonderfully tender, custardy bites of heaven that you can whip up with your sous vide cooker. They’re like the popular ones you find at Starbucks, but way cheaper and customizable at home. The beauty of making them sous vide is that the temperature is controlled so precisely that you get consistent results every time—no more rubbery, overcooked eggs!
Plus, they’re packed with protein, and can be loaded with your favorite mix-ins like cheese, veggies, or meats, and you can make a bunch ahead of time to last through the week.
Trust me, once you try them, you’ll be hooked! Let’s get into how to make these little delights, shall we?
Why We Love Sous Vide Egg Bites
I adore this recipe for a bunch of reasons.
First off, it’s foolproof. Thanks to sous vide cooking, you get the same perfect results every single time—no surprises!
And, it’s cheaper than Starbucks. While you might spend about $4.99 for a single serving of egg bites at Starbucks, making them in your kitchen cuts the cost down to less than 50 cents per serving. I mean, can you believe that? It’s not just a little cheaper—it’s a lot!
Also, they’re a great way to sneak in some extra protein early in the day.
And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a breakfast that feels indulgent but actually keeps you full and energized?
Ingredients
Ready to make these delicious sous vide egg bites at home? Here’s the rundown on the ingredients you’ll need.
- Large egg: room temperature
- Fresh Flat flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- Whole Milk
- Kosher Salt
- Fresh Cracked Pepper
- Cheddar cheese grated: Cheese adds a nice touch of richness and a bit of tang. Cheddar is great for its excellent melting properties and bold flavor, but you can experiment with other types too if you like!

Sous Vide Egg Bites Cooking Instructions
Time needed: 1 hour and 5 minutes
- Set Up Your Sous Vide Machine
Fill your sous vide container with enough water to fully submerge the jars. Attach your Typhur Sous Vide Station and preheat it to 176°F.

Lower the jars into the water with tongs and let them cook for 50 minutes.

Use tongs to carefully remove the jars. Open up and serve these delightful egg bites topped with crumbled bacon, fresh cherry tomatoes, and arugula.

Tips for Perfect Egg Bites
Don’t Overfill
If you’re using jars, make sure they’re not filled to the top; leave some space to allow the egg mixture to expand as it cooks. This also prevents any potential mess in your sous vide machine from overflow.
Water Bath Tips
Make sure the water level is high enough to properly circulate around the jars or molds. This ensures even cooking. Using a rack or a sous vide container with a lid can help keep everything submerged and properly aligned.
Chill and Reheat
If you’re not eating the egg bites immediately, chill them in the fridge after cooking. They reheat beautifully in the microwave for a quick snack or meal prep solution. Just pop them in for about 30 seconds when you’re ready to eat!
Storage and Reheating
These egg bites store beautifully in the fridge for up to a week. Just make sure they’re sealed tight in their jars. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until heated through.
How to Serve These Healthy Sous Vide Egg Bites
Sous vide egg bites are super versatile and fantastic on their own, but if you’re in the mood for a more hearty and filling breakfast, pairing them up can transform your meal into a real feast that’ll keep you satisfied well into the day. They’re also perfect for those on-the-go mornings when you need a quick yet nutritious option.
Serve with pork sausages
- Add some classic breakfast sausages to your plate. Their savory and slightly spicy flavors complement the creamy texture of the egg bites beautifully. You can go for pork, turkey, or even plant-based sausages depending on your preference.
- Cube some potatoes and toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs (rosemary works great!). Roast them in the oven until they’re golden and crispy. These will add a delightful crunch and earthiness to balance the soft egg bites.
Toast on the Side
- Who doesn’t love a slice of crispy toast with their breakfast? Choose your favorite bread—whether it’s a hearty whole grain, a classic white, or an artisan sourdough. Toast it to perfection and maybe spread a little butter or a drizzle of olive oil on top.
Add a Beverage
