Equipment

  • sous vide waterbath setup with immersion circulator

Ingredients
  

  • 1 dozen eggs farm fresh are best
  • cup plain greek yogurt whole milk preferred
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup your favorite toppings see notes for flavor combination ideas

Instructions
 

  • Preheat waterbath for sous vide to 185°F.
  • Prepare 8 oz wide mouth jars by oiling the inside, sanitizing the lids and rings.
  • Layer in your favorite toppings, no higher than the ring line.
  • Blend eggs, yogurt, seasoning, and garlic until smooth and a bit bubbly.
  • Pour egg mixture in each jar up to the ring line.
  • Wipe each jar top with a vinegar dampened towel to remove any oil or egg yolk. This will keep the water out of your jars and allow the lid to seal
  • Affix the lids and rings to all jars and insert into waterbath, once heated, for 25 minutes.
  • Remove jars from waterbath and allow to return to room temperature before chilling with the lid off in the fridge. Once completely cooled, reaffix the lids and rings and save for a quick bite.
  • Re heat from 12 minutes in the oven at 400°F or in the waterbath at 190°F for 15-20 minutes.
