Preparation

Step 1

Step 1
Set your Sous Vide Cooker for 172ºF/77.8ºC

Step 2
In a blender or food processor, combine eggs, cheeses (or other optional dairy like cream), and salt until smooth

Step 3
Place your jars on a work surface and push a half-slice of bacon into the bottom of each one

Step 4
Divide the egg & cheese mixture evenly among the jars

Step 5
Attach two-part lids and close to fingertip tightness. This means using only your fingertips to screw on the ring; if they are too tight, the air pressure within will not be able to release and the jars will shatter on the bath

Step 6
Once closed, submerge the jars in the water bath and set your timer for 1 hour


Finishing Steps

Step 1
Remove from the bath and enjoy straight from the jar if desired! You can also slide a butter knife around the edge, pushing gently inwards as you do so to loosen the base. Invert jar onto heat-safe surface and either sear with a torch or place under broiler for a few minutes for color.

Step 2
Enjoy!
