They did however have bacon gruyere egg bites, so I tried them! OMG! was all I had to say. I thought I would never be able to prepare them at home because I don’t have a sous vide machine.

It has an amazing texture and stays fluffy even after being stored in an airtight container and heated in the microwave.
