OMG. I just had the gruyere and bacon egg bites. THEY ARE AWESOME. Now I want to make some at home. Have any of you made them?

Yes. They're kind of a pain in the ass. Made my mix and poured into a muffin tin. Vac sealed the whole tin and sous vide it. They turned out just ok and not any better than if I'd baked, in fact I prefer the baked. Just plain scrambled eggs in sous vide are good but again, a lot more work than just doing it in the pan on the stove top.

My wife makes them in the instapot. She bought a silicone mold on amazon and we love them.

I had it based on someone's recommendation and was not impressed. Maybe the way they cooked it, but all the bacon bits seemed to migrate to the periphery, mainly at the top.The rest of the bite was kind of bland as a result.

I went to amazon and bought two silicone molds with lids; I'm going to try this in the InstaPot. I don't have a sous-vide set-up, although I have been thinking of getting one.

I've done them sous vide in small canning jars. I did 12 at a time to make it worthwhile. They were good but more novelty than something I would do every week.

Mini mason jars then broil them for a minute or two to crisp them

i made a copycat recipe.in my Instant Pot. Theybare okay, but a let down compared to the texture of the SB ones. I didn't get the same creamy texture.

Recipe called for 4 eggs, bacon, 1/2 c cottage cheese, and 1/2 c gruyere. Mixed eggs and cheeses in blender and poured over bacon in the egg molds. Steam for 10 minutes of the instant pot and allowed 10 minutes natural release.

Maybe overcooked?

I don't go to Starbucks much at all. I don't like their coffee.

I make them in the miniature canning jars, sous vide. I don't use nearly that much cheese, but I go pretty heavy with milk. Mine are really silky. I go about 60 - 40, eggs to milk ratio. Then sprinkle my cheese in the bottom of the greased jars, add the mixture, and sprinkle cheese on the top. Then into the water bath. They work really well for me. I haven't tried them in the instant pot yet, but its on my agenda.
