Perfect results in a few simple steps.
Ingredients for 6
6 eggs
1/2 c grated gruyere
1/4 c neufchatel/cream cheese/dairy free cream cheese option
1/4 tsp salt
3 slices cooked bacon, cut in halves
Extra Equipment: 6 4oz/125ml canning jars with 2-part screw-on lids
Directions
-
Step 1
Set your Anova Precision 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 0
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.
