At this year's Winter Fancy Food Show, Les Trois Petits Cochons exhibited its Sous-Vide Egg Bites as an all-natural, gluten-free and protein-packed healthy snack.
The fully cooked egg bites, made from cage-free eggs, are offered in flavors like Spinach & Feta and Bacon & Swiss, which may be warmed in their packaging in the microwave in under a minute for instant enjoyment, or alternatively prepared in the toaster oven or skillet. For those who are truly pressed from time or lack access to a kitchen, the brand also notes that these egg bites may be eaten at room temperature.
Now that many consumers are seeking out protein-packed snacks, eggs are coming to the forefront as a quick, easy and natural source of protein.
