Meal prep is an absolute necessity for me………and breakfast is no exception!
When I work day shifts, my first meal of the day is at morning break. It has to be quick, taste good, and be nutritious. I don’t like a big breakfast though, so it can’t be crazy heavy.
Eggs are my frequent go to. I love eggs in just about any form I can get them.
I already use my Instant Pot for large quantity (14) hard-boiled eggs. They cook perfectly and peel like a dream! But I thought I’d try something different this time…
Sous Vide Egg Bites are apparently a thing! And, judging by the recipes I’ve found, it seems that Starbucks must have been the ones to start the trend. I don’t frequent Starbucks, so not sure what they charge for them, but I’ve seen the Tim Horton’s similarity, and yeah…..I’m not paying that.
So, here is my version and they turned out pretty good! As stated in the instructions, be sure to spray the silicone mold or apply a little oil in some form.
