Leek & Gruyere Egg Bites
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 small leek, white section only, thinly sliced
- 3 large eggs
- ⅓ cup full fat cottage cheese
- ⅓ cup grated Gruyere
Directions
1) In a small skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Stir in 1 sliced leek and saute until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2) In a blender or food processor, combine 3 large eggs, ⅓ cup cottage cheese, ⅓ cup shredded Gruyere, and ¼ tsp ground black pepper. Blend on high for 1 minute, or until combined.
3) Meanwhile, spray a Suvie egg tray with cooking spray and place inside a Suvie pan. Divide leek evenly between the 4 cups. Pour egg bite mixture evenly over the filling and then tap pan on counter to release any air bubbles.
4) Fill the pan with as much water as possible and then place pan in the bottom zone of Suvie. Input settings and cook now or schedule.
