Sous vide made easier than ever.


Ingredients for 6

  • 6 eggs

  • 1/2 c/125 ml unsweetened almond milk

  • 2 medium leeks, sliced thinly

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil

  • Pinch salt

  • 4 oz/~115 g crumbled cooked salmon (we used a thick, honey cured & small batch smoked salmon)

  • Extra equipment: 6 4 oz/125 ml canning jars with metal lids

Directions

  • Step 1

    Set your Anova Precision Cooker to 170ºF/76.7ºC

  • Step 2

    In a blender, mix the eggs and almond milk and process until smooth and set aside

  • Step 3

    Heat up the olive oil in a frying pan over medium high heat. When it shimmers, reduce the heat to medium and add the leeks and a pinch of salt to help keep them from burning and saute, stirring frequently to prevent burning. The leeks will soften and start to caramelize after just a few minutes. Remove from the heat when they become golden in color, about 8 minutes, and set aside to cool

  • Step 4

    Combine the salmon and leeks in a small bowl and combine to form a homogenous mixture

  • Step 5

    Divide the mixture between the 6 jars and top with the egg & almond milk mixture

  • Step 6

    Attach the lids to "fingertip tightness". This means using only the pressure of your fingertips to close the jar, leaving it just a little loose, to allow the air pressure to be able to be released while in the bath. This will prevent both jar failure and water from getting into your ingredients

  • Step 7

    Place in the bath and set the timer for 1 hour

    • Finishing Steps

    • Step 0

      Remove from the bath and enjoy straight from the jar or slide a knife around the edge, pressing gently inwards to loosen. Invert on a plate and with a swift downward jerking motion holding onto plate and jar at the same time, pop the egg bite out of the jar. You can either reheat and/or brown in a toaster oven, under a broiler, or with a torch. Bon appetit!
