These cheesy egg bites pack a ton of flavor in a small amount of space thanks to sour cream, shredded colby jack cheese, and tender fluffy eggs. Suvie’s egg tray makes these bites a snap to make and the perfect size when you’re on the run. The variations on this recipe are endless: customize your bites by adding 1 tsp cooked, crumbled bacon, roasted red pepper, or minced fresh herbs into the bottom of each egg cup before adding the liquid mixture.

I tried this recipe and the egg bites were no where near done by cooking them for 1 hour @ 175* as it notes at the bottom of this recipe page. At the top of this recipe page, it notes this “PREHEAT AND COOK TIME: 2 Hours And 40 Minutes” so what time duration do you click in to the robot as the cooking time; 2 hrs and 40 mins? Or the 1 hour it notes at the bottom? Like I noted, 1 hour was not nearly long enough, so I’ll try this again soon and click in “2 hrs… Read more »
Hi Jason, sorry this recipe didn’t work out for you. When entering the settings, choose 1 hour at 175°F. The 2 hours and 40 minutes is the time it takes to cook and preheat Suvie (sometimes this will be longer or shorter depending on whether you’ve used the Suvie recently, the temperature of the water, etc). You could try going a little longer, I’d start at 1 hour and 30 minutes. Eggs are tricky to Sous Vide because both temperature and time effect the finished texture of the egg. I worry that 2 hours and 40 minutes will be too… Read more »
I did this recipe and cooked for an hour, they were still runny. Cooked for another 30 minutes and still very runny. 1 hour is definitely not enough, unless there is something else that is needed. Next attempt I will go past 2 hours.
Hi Mike, sorry this recipe didn’t work for you. We’ve extended the cook time from 1 hour to 2 hours, which should hopefully set the eggs better. Our cook settings have changed a bit since this recipe was originally published, so we think extending the cook time to 2 hours should help.
Followed the instructions and these came out perfect! Are there any variations? I would like to try some other ingredients but don’t want to mess up the ratios.
so I took a cup of ricotta..of course some nutmeg..a pinch of smoked paprika,a splash of cream,some onions cooked in butter, salt and pepper, and 4 eggs with some shredded sharp chedder and bacon pieces…the total filled 7 egg cups…2 hours at 175…delish….my husband liked it too….brunch is on its way….modified custard or quiche lorraine mix…the recipe is not so precious…used upper and lower shelves… i filled the left over egg hole with a small amount of water…japanese chawanmushi should be good this way too…
btw… makes it gluten free…filled the cups with a ladle.. 3/4 full…took a full 3 hours to complete…stayed warm in the cups
shouldn’t assume…I hit two hours cook now and it took 3hours…also I had to use a miniature spatula to release the sides…i will spray olive oil next time and use some thyme….the cheese was pre shredded which has cellulose usually to keep it from sticking so there was a natural thickener…hope this helps..it was my first time to play with these toys and they worked perfectly
