These Instant Pot Low-Carb Starbucks Sous Vide Bacon Egg Bites have become my new obsession for breakfast. I am a huge breakfast person. I have to have it pretty much every morning or else I get really grumpy. I work in the corporate world so I need breakfast options that are perfect for on-the-go. I also work out most mornings.

These egg bites make the perfect post-workout meal. The bites are low in carbs, but pack in the protein from the eggs, cheese, and bacon.

What does sous vide mean?

Well, it is kind of a fancy way to describe dishes that are cooked in a water bath at a controlled temperature. This helps ensure the food is evenly cooked and retains moisture. The food is cooked at a precise temperature for a precise amount of time, thus yielding pretty consistent results. The method used in this recipe is an approximation of that texture.

How do you make sous vide eggs in the Instant Pot?

You will need a container for the eggs. This container from Amazon works well.

You will need to decide on if you will like to use meat in the recipe. I love bacon! You will also need whipping cream and cottage cheese for the creamy texture.

Throw the dairy product ingredients and the eggs in a blender. Blend to get a creamy texture. Add the mixture to the egg bites container with the remaining ingredients.

Steam in accordance with the directions noted below.

A couple of years ago I made egg white muffins in the oven pretty religiously. The same advantages I noted above apply. They are low-carb, easy to make, and easy for advance meal prep. I got burned out on eating these.

I disliked how the bites were often too dry. This sous vide version is the perfect fix. The texture of these bites is absolutely perfect.

A while back Starbucks introduced their sous vide egg bites. There are two versions on their menu.  Bacon and Gruyere and Egg Whites and Red Pepper. The nutritional data for this recipe is somewhat similar to the Starbucks version.

Starbucks has a little higher carb count due to a few added ingredients of which I have left out. Overall, the greatest advantage in making your own will be the money saved as a result. You can purchase the ingredients for this recipe for $10-$15 and it will last you a week.

I also love that you can create tons of versions of these bites simply by swapping out ingredients. Mushrooms, chicken sausage, turkey bacon, ham, and whatever cheese you want will all work very well with this recipe. You can truly take your pic.
