Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons diced sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained
- 4 tablespoons Colby Jack, grated (plus 2 additional teaspoons for garnish)
- 4 tablespoons cottage cheese, drained
- ⅓ cup loosely packed baby spinach or kale
- a pinch of salt and pepper
Preparation
Using the immersion circulator, preheat the water bath to 169°. Spray 5 quarter pint lidded glass canning jars with nonstick cooking spray. Place all ingredients into a food processor or blender and pulse to combine. Evenly pour the egg mixture among the five jars. Wipe the rims of each jar clean and seal. Place in a preheated water bath for 35 minutes or until the center is set.
Once the centers of the egg bites are set, preheat the oven to broil. Remove one or all of the egg bites from their cups and onto a baking sheet. Top each with ½ teaspoon of grated cheese and broil for 1-2 minutes to toast the top and melt the cheese.
You can serve immediately, or they can remain in their sealed jars and refrigerated for up to one week.
