Steps:

• Make filling:.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, gruyere, Monterey jack, bacon, hot sauce and salt.
• Form Eggs:.
• Using a very small bowl (a custard cup, or a 5 oz ramekin will work well), press a 10- inch square of plastic wrap into the bowl, so the wrap is fully adhered to the sides of the bowl. There should be about 2 inches of plastic wrap left hanging over the edges of the bowl. Spray the plastic wrap in the bowl as well as the overhang, liberally with nonstick spray. Spoon the egg filling into the bowl, leaving 1/8'' at the top. Form an air-tight bundle around the eggs; lift the sides of the plastic wrap on all sides just enough to twist the plastic wrap so that it encloses the egg. There should be no air in the bundle. Tie tightly with kitchen string, or a length of plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining filling, remembering to spray the plastic wrap each time.
• Cook Eggs:.
• In a large pot, bring 6 inches of water to a simmer (185 - 200°F.) There should be tiny bubbles rising to the surface; carefully drop all the egg parcels into the simmering water, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, the centers should be completely set. Remove the egg parcels from the water with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels. Let sit for a minute until cool enough to handle. Using sharp scissors, cut the parcels directly under the kitchen twine; peel away the plastic wrap, the egg bites are ready to serve.

Steps:

• Set your sous vide for 167 degrees. This will take some time to heat.
• So prepare the recipe while this heats up. Into a blender add 4 eggs, 4 tablespoons cottage cheese, 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese, and salt. Puree until it is a uniform mixture.
• Spray 4 small canning jars (I use half-pint wide-mouth jelly jars) with a non-stick spray. Break a piece of bacon into each jar.
• Pour egg mixture into jars. Wipe the rim of the jar to make sure it is clean, then place the lid on the jar. Place jars into the sous vide.
• Once the sous vide has reached 167 degrees, cook eggs for about 35 minutes or until they are completely set. If you do not wait until the sous vide has reached proper temperature the eggs may not set fully.
• Remove eggs from the jars when they are done. Sprinkle additional shredded Gruyere cheese on top, and broil until they just turn brown. This recipe may be doubled.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water and place a sous vide immersion cooker into the water. Set temperature to 170 degrees F (75 degrees C) according to manufacturer's directions.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Cool and chop each slice into 4 to 5 pieces.
• Combine eggs, cottage cheese, Gruyere cheese, heavy cream, and salt in a blender; run blender until thoroughly blended, 15 to 20 seconds.
• Spray mason jars with cooking spray. Divide bacon between each jar. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the bacon. Screw on the lids until just barely tightened. Do not over-tighten as the jars can burst in the hot water.
• Submerge mason jars into the water bath and set timer for 55 minutes. When timer is up, remove jars and transfer to a cooling rack. If serving immediately, run a knife along the outer edge and invert onto a plate; you can also eat directly from the jar. Let any remaining jars cool, then refrigerate for up to 1 week.
