Off topic Starbucks sous vide egg bite

Captainjimpark · February 2018

i know this is off topic but I tried those sous vide egg bites yesterday and loved them!! And they are healthy.i know many of you have a sous vide,has anyone tried to make them at home? I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on one.

I see a lot of people do them on SV facebook groups. I've been meaning to try it myself.

Post pics of your results

Thanks for posting. I had not heard of them before. I'll be making a batch in the near future to have for breakfast.

I made them. Sorry, no pictures, but I can tell you about it...

Used this site for the recipe. Made the bacon and gruyere version. My daughter and I had both had the Starbucks version and liked them. Liked this hack of them just as well. Made them in the little canning jelly jars. Made 10 as I recall. Put them in the fridge and ate them for breakfast all week. Popped them out of the jar and onto a plate, then into the microwave to reheat.

Plan to try other versions but haven't had a chance yet.

Will do,I’m looking at sous vide machines now online.

What’s funny is that the approach is quite similar to the SV chocolate pots. Use of mason jars, eggs, even the time and temperature.

Instead of chocolate, you’re mixing in cheese and bacon or whatever else. The pics at the Anova site look great.

You had me at bacon and gruyere.
So many options here.
Thanks for the link.

If anyone has an electric pressure cooker, they seem to be all the rage with that group too.

I see they are doing the same thing with instant pots

@Captainjimpark - You will not be sorry going with the Anova.

Not going to lie, I’m very partial to the ChefSteps Joule. Waterproof, small form factor, stable temperature control - it’s a winning combination. Admittedly a little more expensive than the Anova option though, if that’s a factor

Both the Joule and Anova are popular and quality products. Either will do well. I decided on the Anova because it can be operated without the need of a smartphone app. I can't remember the last time I started a sous vide cook by using the smartphone app.

I just ordered the wi-fi version, couldent find one locally.if you try making egg bites please post the cook.

Woody · February 2018

Great idea, have been hearing about these Starbucks egg bites for a while and been wanting to try them. This was a great primer.

Have a Joule and love it. The smart phone app is one of the greatest things. When I want to do a steak properly, I start up the app, choose the color I want the meat to turn out to, tell it how thick the steaks are and fresh or frozen, turns out great everytime.

Have been suffering with a cable outage for a week now, so no internet/wi-fi. No problem, fire up the app using bluetooth and Joule is good to go.

As stated, the Anova seems to be a great option as well.

Will have to give these a go.
Thanks for the link.

I sure liked the egg white red pepper feta cheese ones at Starbucks But have not made my own

The Cen-Tex Smoker · February 2018

I'm doing a smoked ham, Gruyere, and jalapeno and a smoked ham, Gruyere and chive to start. I have a ton a bacon but we are eating a little leaner these days and I think smoked ham will stand up well in there. I'm going to add the Gruyere after the bath and torch it to get some color on it.

Gravytrain84 · February 2018

I’m doing a simple eggs, heavy cream,spinach, bacon, & cheese right now.

Wow!! Looking great

Gravytrain84 · February 2018

Finished product!

I did 12 eggs and 1 cup of heavy cream. Next time I’ll do 1/2 cup of cream. They’re really good but a little too rich

Captainjimpark · February 2018

Those look awesome,did they come out of the jars easily?

Gravytrain84 · February 2018

I passed a knife around the edge and pulled it right now. Will spray oil in them next time thought.

The Cen-Tex Smoker · February 2018

Test run in. Egg, cream cheese, Gruyere, smoked ham

Captainjimpark · February 2018

I can’t wait to get my sous vide

Good not great. The anova recipe is too hot (171f). The eggs are set up too firm. Like an omelette in a cup. Nothing you couldn’t get on a stovetop in 3 minutes. All the meat sinks to the bottom too so unless you are getting some crazy creamy SV texture this is not worth the effort.

Im going to try another batch at a lower temp and see what I come up with.
