Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 4-ounces Gruyère cheese, finely shredded
- 3 bacon strips
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 cup whipped cream cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Start by cooking the bacon until it’s crisp. Once done, dice it into small pieces and set aside.
- In a bowl, add the eggs, heavy whipping cream, whipped cream cheese, salt, and black pepper. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth. Fold in the shredded Gruyère cheese.
- Fill a deep sauté pan about halfway with water and bring it to a boil.
- Spray an egg mold with non-stick spray.
- Fill each well about 3/4 of the way with the egg mixture. Add a few pieces of crisp bacon to each well, then top with more of the egg mixture.
- Carefully place the mold in the boiling water. Cook for exactly 2 minutes, then cover with a domed lid to avoid moisture leaking onto the eggs. Cook for an additional 12 minutes.
- Carefully lift the mold out of the water and place it on paper towels to soak up any excess water.
- Flip the mold over to release the egg bites.
- Serve and ENJOY!
Notes
- Cook the bacon until super crispy, for the best texture.
- Use an immersion blender to incorporate air into the egg cream mixture for pillowy and bouncy egg bites.
- Generously spray the egg mold to prevent sticking.
- Make sure the water level is about halfway up the egg mold to ensure water does not seep into the egg wells while cooking.
- Use a domed lid to prevent moisture from dripping onto egg bites.
- Ensure even filling in each mold for consistent cooking.
- Take extreme caution when lifting the egg mold out of the boiling water, as the steam can create burns.
- Place cooked egg bites on paper towels to absorb excess water.
- Customize fillings for variety and personal preference.
- Finished egg bites can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days, or frozen up to 2 months.
