These egg bites can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 months. To reheat them directly from the freezer, place them back in a sous vide water bath at 140°F for 15 minutes or reheat in the microwave for 2 minutes or under the broiler on low in the oven for 2-3 minutes.

Sous vide cooking (pronounced "sue-veed") is done using a water bath held at precisely controlled temperatures to cook food evenly and retain flavor. You never have to worry about overcooking Anova sous vide egg bites.

145°F/ 62.7°C for 1 hour results in a loose white and very creamy yolk. 147°F / 63.9·C for 1 hour gets you a set white with a spreadable fudge like yolk. 167°F / 75°C for 13 minutes gets you a very similar egg as 145°F / 62.7°C for 1 hour with the white just a touch more set.

Sous-vide – which means "under vacuum" in French – is a culinary technique where vacuum-sealed food is immersed in water and cooked at a very precise and consistent temperature. This cooking method is preferred because it doesn't require extra fats and oils.

Add water to the bottom of a baking dish and set it on the bottom rack of your oven. This will allow there to be moisture in your oven while baking your egg bites. Bake egg bites at 350°F for approximately 20-25 minutes or until egg bites are cooked through (cooking time may vary).

Egg bites can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Plus, they reheat beautifully in the microwave, making them a convenient, high-protein option for busy mornings or on-the-go snacks.

If you're in a pinch and you need a high-protein meal or snack, these can be a good option. However, if you're watching your sodium and saturated fat intake, you might want to consider making a more heart-healthy breakfast at home (we have several recipes that take just 15 minutes to make!).

What does sous vide mean in English? ›

At its most fundamental level, sous vide cooking is the process of sealing food in an airtight container—usually a vacuum sealed bag—and then cooking that food in temperature-controlled water. In French, the term translates to "under vacuum," which makes sense.

Poached Sous Vide Eggs - For a perfectly runny yolk that is just a bit thicker than raw and a white that is set enough to cut with a spoon, set your sous vide water bath at 165 degrees Fahrenheit and cook for 12 to 14 minutes.

From 130°F to 135°F (54.4°C to 57.2°C) the egg will remain "raw" and if it is held at this temperature for at least 75 to 90 minutes it will be fully pasteurized and safe to eat. It can then safely be used in place of raw eggs in preparations such as mayonnaise, cookie dough, or salad dressings.

If your egg bites are wet, they are either undercooked, no cornstarch was added, or you may have included too many vegetables. Consider sauteeing veggie add-ins beforehand in order to release excess moisture. If adding tomatoes, try salting and draining them before adding them to the other ingredients.

On Instagram, Costcobuys posted about their excitement when they spotted the Starbucks Sous Vide Egg White and Roasted Red Pepper Egg Bites in the store's freezer section. The post shows the Costco price—$14.97 for 5 servings (two egg bites per serving).

I keep these frozen and then transfer them to the fridge the day before I want to eat them. Then microwave for about 30 seconds! You could also keep frozen and then defrost for a minute and then reheat.

Make-Ahead/Freezer-Friendly Instructions: Once cool, the egg bites can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave at 50% power for 60 to 90 seconds.

Each bite is perfectly cooked sous vide using cage-free egg whites, resulting in a velvety texture that is difficult to achieve via traditional cooking techniques.
