Ingredients

  • 6 glass jars for jam
  • 3 tablespoons of coconut oil, or more if required
  • 2 oz of diced black forest ham
  • 1/4 cup of diced red bell pepper
  • 6 big eggs
  • 1/4 cup of 10% cream
  • 1/2 cup of grated medium Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • A pinch of freshly ground nutmeg

Step 1

Prepare a stockpot and fill it with water just enough to cover the jars. Secure a sous vide immersion cooker on the pot's side and set the temperature to a cozy 172 degrees F (77 degrees C).

Step 2

Begin by lovingly coating the insides of each jar with the richness of coconut oil. Layer a delightful mix of ham and red pepper at the base of the jars.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine eggs and cream with finesse until they dance together harmoniously. Introduce Cheddar cheese, a pinch of salt, and a hint of nutmeg to the mix. Gently pour the egg concoction into each jar, distributing it evenly. Seal the jars with their lids and metal bands, ensuring a snug closure with just the right touch of your fingertips, avoiding excessive tightening.

Step 4

Submerge the jars into the warm water bath and let them cook gently for an hour. With the grace of tongs, carefully lift the jars onto a heat-proof surface. Allow them to rest for 10 minutes before unveiling the delicious treasures inside.
