Ingredients for 6
6 eggs
1/4 c creme fraiche
1/4 c cream cheese
4 spears asparagus
2 oz smoked salmon
2 oz chèvre
1/2 oz/15 g minced shallot
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
Salt & Pepper to taste
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, creme fraiche, cream cheese, and salt
-
Step 3
Chop asparagus into small, ¼”/ ½ cm pieces and place in a small mixing bowl
-
Step 4
Chop smoked salmon into small pieces and add to the bowl along with minced shallot and dill. Mix with a fork until homogenous
-
Step 5
Lay out your jars and divide egg mixture between them. Add ⅙ of the asparagus/salmon/shallot mixture to each jar
-
Step 6
Place ⅙ of the chevre in each jar and attach 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 timer for 1 hour
Finishing Steps
-
Step 1
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!
