gramsThese savory “donut” egg bites were born out of a failed attempt to make mini bagels. By dialing that recipe back to the bare minimum, I found that I could make these egg bites in a way that they don’t taste especially eggy. While note as cream as sous vide egg bites, the size and shape make them a convenient “grab and go” breakfast or snack. This recipe is remarkably easy to make and very easy to scale up, if you want to make them in bulk.
Ingredients
1 1/3 cups shredded full fat mozzarella (165g)
2 large eggs
2 TB cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (30g)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C)
- In a food processor, pulse the mozzarella for 10-12 times or until the cheese is the size of panko bread crumbs.
- Add the two eggs and process for for 10-15 seconds, scraping down the sides.
- Add the sausage to the food processor and pulse 3-4 times to gently mix it in.
- Transfer the egg mixture to a piping bag (or makeshift piping bag as I show in the video) and split between 6 compartments of a silicone mini donut mold, using a baking sheet underneath for easy transfer to the oven.
- Bake for 25 minutes, then remove from the oven, flip the silicone mold and tap on it until the egg donuts release on to the baking sheet.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven, turn off the heat, and let cook for an additional 5 minutes with the residual heat.
- Let cook for a couple of minutes before serving.
