Start by introducing the recipe for sous-vide style egg bites using an egg poacher pan.

Gather ingredients: 3 eggs, 1/8 cup half and half, 1/4 cup cheese blend, salt, and pepper.

Mix the ingredients together using a whisk or a hand mixer.

Prepare the egg poacher pan by filling it with water and bringing it to a simmer.

Grease each cup of the egg poacher pan with butter to prevent sticking.

Pour the egg mixture evenly into the greased cups of the egg poacher pan.

Cover the pan with a lid and set a timer for 6 minutes.

Cook the egg bites over medium heat for about 6 minutes or until firm.

Check the egg bites at around 3 minutes; if they look like they might overflow, lift the lid to let them calm down.

After 6 minutes, check the egg bites for doneness and ensure they are not gooey inside.

Remove one egg bite and place it on a plate; check for doneness with a fork.

Serve and enjoy the egg bites.
