Low Carb, Dairy-Free, Spinach Sous Vide Egg Bites

If you are looking for a great on-the-go breakfast and want to tackle sous-vide egg bites at home, this low-carb, dairy-free spinach egg bite recipe is for you.

Dream it.

When I started my low carb diet, I scoured the internet looking for recipes I can prepare in advance to make life easier. I’m currently on the Dr. Poon diet here in Ontario, and this diet is low-carb, low-sugar and low-sodium. Dairy is limited to the program, and I struggled to find a sous-vide egg bite recipe with no dairy.

Plan it.

Low Carb Sous Vide Egg Bites

What’s great about this spinach sous vide egg bitehttps://amzn.to/4go7t6b recipe is that really you can make it your own. For a healthy breakfast, add your favourite veggies, breakfast meat, and if you want, you can even add cheese.

Whole Eggs, Egg Whites or a Combination of Both

Another great thing about this recipe is that you can modify it by using only whole eggs or egg whites. I like to do a combination of both. By adding only whole eggs, you’ll find the sous-vide egg bites will have a deeper yellow colour, and if you add more egg white, it will be paler.

I mention this because some of the recipes I’ve found online had these perfect pictures, and when I went to create the recipe, they did not look at all like what they were showing me. Some recipes, for example, had mushrooms and spinach, and if you do add mushrooms, it will taste delicious, but the final product will have a gray or brownish colour.

Spinach and Cheese Sous Vide Egg Bites

Feel free to add your favourite cheese to the mixture before baking. I added some cubes of Laughing Cow Cream Cheese to a few of these to test it out and it added a creamy surprise in the middle of the egg bites.

Here is the recipe I love to create. On the Poon Metabolic Diet, we are limited as to what vegetables we are allowed to use depending on the phase we are on. So in Phase 1, the most limited phase I love using green peppers and spinach. When I moved into Phase 2, I added onion and garlic, and it is delicious!
