Why This Recipe Is So Enjoyable

These egg bites are creamy, flavorful, and easy to make. Using the Instant Pot® means they cook quickly and come out perfectly every time. They are a great protein-packed option for breakfast or a snack.

Tips From The Kitchen

- Use silicone egg bite molds for easy removal and even cooking.
- Make sure to add water to the Instant Pot® to create steam and prevent burning.
- Let the egg bites cool slightly before taking them out to keep their shape.

Step 1

Spray your egg molds with some nonstick cooking spray, then sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly into each one. In a blender, combine the shredded cheese, cottage cheese, half-and-half, eggs, and a pinch of salt, and blend everything until it’s nice and smooth. Pour the mixture into the molds, filling them about three-quarters full, then cover the top tightly with foil to keep everything in place.

Step 2

Pour water into the bottom of your Instant Pot or pressure cooker. Place the molds inside, close the lid, and set it to the steam function for 8 minutes. It might take around 5 to 10 minutes for the pressure to build up before the timer starts.

Step 3

Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes, then carefully use the quick-release to let out any remaining pressure. When it’s safe to open, take the molds out and gently pop the egg bites out onto a wire rack.

Step 4

You can enjoy them right away or let them cool before storing in the fridge for up to a week.

Serving Options

Serve warm with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad. They also pair well with a dollop of salsa or avocado slices for extra flavor.

Proper Storage Tips

Store leftover egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or steam them to keep their creamy texture. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
