Sous Vide Egg Bites Recipe

Sous vide, which involves vacuum-sealing foods and cooking them in a temperature-controlled water bath, is a go-to technique for restaurant chefs that results in extra-accurate internal temps for the finished dishes. But it can feel a bit more cumbersome to pull off at home. Enter the Instant Pot. These egg bites—spiked with MCT oil for an energy boost—are the perfect quick breakfast or a post-workout snack, We made them in both keto and Paleo versions so you can enjoy them two different ways (or whip them up for family members with different diets).
