In a small skillet, heat 4 sliced chopped bacon over medium-low heat. Cook until fat is rendered and bacon is crisp, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer bacon bits to a paper-towel lined plate.
In a blender or food processor, combine 3 large eggs, ⅓ cup cottage cheese, ⅓ cup shredded Cheddar, and ¼ tsp ground black pepper. Blend on high for 1 minute, or until combined.
Meanwhile, spray a Suvie egg tray with cooking spray and place inside a Suvie pan. Divide bacon evenly between the 4 cups. Pour egg bite mixture evenly over the filling and then tap pan on counter to release any air bubbles.
Fill the pan with as much water as possible and then place pan in the bottom zone of Suvie. Input settings and cook now or schedule. Bottom Zone: Sous Vide at 175°F for 2 hours, Top Zone: None
After cooking, carefully remove pan from Suvie. Pour off water and gently lift egg tray out of the pan. Invert the egg bites onto a cutting board. Serve.
Store cooled egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the microwave for 30–45 seconds or in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.

They're ready when the centers are set but still slightly jiggly—they'll continue cooking after removal from heat. Overcooking makes them rubbery.
Yes, proportions scale linearly. Double all ingredients for 12 bites, or halve them for 6. Maintain the 1:1 egg-to-cottage-cheese ratio for best texture.
