    I have been making something similar to these for years it’s  basically scrambled eggs in a vacuum sealed bag. Put your food saver on pulse and let the bag with scrambled eggs and toppings hang down and suck all the air out. Set you’re Sous Vide and every 15 minutes take the bag out and mash it all up with your fingers. Usually takes about 45 minutes.

    I made a batch from the Anova site 172 for 90 minutes and they were amazing. Might try playing with the temp it sounded higher temp than needed and longer than needed but I was surprised by the results. Did Gruyere, cream cheese, eggs and salt with chives and bacon on the bottom. Will take a couple pics tomorrow if I remember. 
    The Anova site recipes call for a 1 hour bath, not 90 minutes.  Shorter times than you used should be fine.  172º -176º are often recommended as the temps for custards.

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

    @JohnInCarolina the crust stayed put on the bottom. As I recall I crushed graham crackers and mixed with some melted butter. I think this is similar to making a regular (big) graham cracker crust but I haven't done that. I took about a tablespoon and spooned it into the bottom of each jar and then flattened it out with my thumb. Backed for 10 minutes at 350. Let cool. Poured in the cheese cake mixture and then into the SV. Crust stayed put on the bottom. Put some fruit on top and served in the jars.

    It sounds epic.  I have got to try this!

    Are you hitting them with a torch or oven broiler?
    They look fantastic. Although I have never tried or even seen the SB version.

    Nice!
  • I'm brand new to sous vide,are most of you using food savers ? Or is there a step up?  I bought a food saver at Sam's club a few years ago and was unimpressed, it would do fine the first few bags but after that not so good.serms like it got warm and I'd have to let cool down. Maybe I just had a bad machine.

    I use a food saver when I vacuum seal, but 95% of the time I just use ziplock freezer bags and use water to displace the air.  This works equally well to a foodsaver.  It is important to grab the freezer bags because of their temperature ratings, though.

    Also, Ziplock bags let you easily cook with an open top.  This is particularly beneficial when cooking green vegetables and you want to maintain their bright, vibrant color during cooking.

    Have a question about this - I've got a dozen 4 oz jars that have been in my sous vide at 160* for 40 minutes.  When I went to take them out, it appears that they're not "set up" like the pictures that others have posted on this thread.  Will they "set up" after they cool down or haven't they been in the bath long enough?

    I would leave them in longer. I did mine for 90 minutes.

    Thanks.  So when I take the jars out of the bath and turn them sideways, I shouldn't be able to see the egg mixture kind of run, correct?  It should be set, right?

    Yeah the ones I have done were set when I took them out.

    Yes there's a step up.

    I hated my food saver. This is altogether different.

    Shamelessly jumping on the bandwagon. 

    Have a a batch of mini southern eggsluts in the bath. 1/4 cup of garlic cheese grits and an egg in each 4oz jar. 147 x 1hr. Let’s see how this turns out.

    Turned out pretty good. Would have liked the egg to be a little more set though.

    its not really like  the SB egg bites I guess.  More like the Eggslut item, with grits subbed for the mashed potatoes.

    I made my first batch using the Instant Pot recepe @167 for 90 minutes using the Anova.
    Bacon, mushrooms, chives and added a little more cheese to the top and torched it lightly after dumping it from jar. Happy with first attempt.

    Thank you,

    Did you pre poach the egg first or add it raw?

    Cracked the egg right into the jar.

  • What’s everyone’s preferred method for heating them up if you have them in the fridge?

    Once you prep all the ingredients you want to put in the jar it's super easy.
    I wasted time shredding the chease I put in the blender. Should have just cut into pieces. The Vitamix doesn't care.lol
    I will cut back on the cottage cheese next time. I did 167 @ 90 minutes.
    I also floated a zipcoc bag with the extra egg mix and that worked great as well.
