What are Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites with Bacon & Gruyère made of?
Starbucks sous vide egg bites are made with applewood-smoked bacon and aged Gruyère Monterey Jack cheeses folded into cage-free eggs and cooked using the French “sous vide” technique which creates a velvety texture that’s full of flavor.
What is does Sous vide mean?
Sous vide is a French cooking technique and the term translates to “under vacuum in a cooking pouch and heated at a precise temperature in a water bath. Instead of relying on perfect timing, sous vide relies on precise temperature control. This technique creates a perfectly velvety, creamy texture which makes Starbucks Egg Bites so freakishly delicious!
However; there’s no need for a sous vide machine when you can use a muffin pan, cornstarch, and a water bath (baking dish with water)at the bottom rack of the oven. The water in the dish provides a steam-like environment to keep that nice velvety consistency you get with the Starbucks Egg Bites with Bacon & Gruyère.
