What is Sous Vide Egg Bites?
Sous vide egg bites are a creamy, custard-like egg dish cooked slowly at a controlled temperature, usually in a water bath. Popularized by coffee chains, they have a silky texture unlike traditional scrambled eggs.
This dish blends eggs with cheese and mix-ins like bacon or vegetables, then cooks them gently to achieve a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth consistency. It’s a modern, protein-rich breakfast rooted in French sous vide cooking techniques.

Key Ingredients
I’ve included everything below to make this recipe easy to follow at home. For the full printable recipe instructions and ingredient quantities, scroll to the Recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Eggs. I always use fresh eggs for the best texture. They form the base and create that soft, custard-like consistency.
Cream cheese. My go-to for extra richness. It makes the egg bites ultra creamy and smooth.
Cheddar cheese. Adds a sharp, savory flavor. You can swap with mozzarella for a milder taste.
Bacon. I prefer crispy bits for texture. It adds a smoky, salty punch.
Spinach. A great low-carb veggie option. It adds color and balances the richness.
Salt & pepper. Simple but essential. Enhances all the flavors without overpowering.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overcooking the eggs (they turn rubbery)
- Skipping the blending step (affects smooth texture)
- Not greasing molds properly (causes sticking)
- Adding too many fillings (disrupts structure)
Required Equipment
- Blender — ensures a smooth, creamy mixture
- Silicone molds or jars — perfect shape and easy release
- Sous vide machine — maintains precise temperature
- Pot or container — holds water bath evenly
Caleb’s Recipe Tips
- Blend your egg mixture thoroughly for that signature silky texture. Trust me, skipping this step makes a noticeable difference!
- Don’t overfill your molds—leave a little space for the eggs to expand while cooking.
- If you don’t have sous vide, you can bake them in a water bath for a similar effect. It’s not identical, but still delicious.
- Use pre-cooked fillings like bacon or veggies to avoid excess moisture. I learned this the hard way after soggy batches!
- Let them cool slightly before removing—they firm up and hold shape better.
Storage Instructions
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days. For longer storage, freeze them individually and reheat as needed.
To reheat, microwave for 30–60 seconds or warm gently to maintain the creamy texture.
