Ingredients

Instant Pot Egg Bites Filling

6 strips bacon cooked & crumbled (to taste)
1 cup bell pepper diced
or any fillings you like!

Cheesy Egg Mixture

5 eggs
¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup cottage cheese
¼ cup heavy cream or milk
½ tsp salt

Equipment

instant pot or pressure cooker
1 cup water
metal trivet
silicone egg bites mold

Instructions

Cook bacon as desired and drain on paper towels.
Spray silicone mold* well with cooking spray.
Crumble cooked bacon and distribute into silicone mold, followed by chopped bell pepper. (Or, add fillings of choice.)
In a blender, combine eggs, shredded cheese, cottage cheese, heavy cream, and salt. Blend until well-integrated and smooth.
Pour egg mixture into silicone mold, leaving a bit of room at the top for the egg bites to expand as they cook.
Add 1 cup water into instant pot along with metal trivet. Place silicone mold (or jars) on top of trivet.
Cover instant pot with lid and set to “steam” for 8 minutes.
Natural pressure release for 10 minutes. Quick release any remaining steam as needed.
Carefully remove mold from instant pot. Allow to cool slightly before popping bites out from mold.
Enjoy warm or cold! Package in an airtight container and refrigerate to store for up to a week.
Or, store in the freezer for up to 3 months. (Just know that frozen egg bites are best enjoyed after thawing and reheating. They’re not ideal to enjoy cold after being frozen and thawed.)
Yields 14 egg bites using silicone egg bites mold (2 trays).

Notes

*Option for no silicone mold:

If you don’t have a silicone egg bites mold, you can also use small, 4oz mason jars. Spray the inside of the jar with cooking spray, add your fillings and cheesy egg mixture, then cover loosely with foil before placing into the instant pot.

To cook in oven:

Distribute crumbled bacon, bell pepper (or fillings of choice), and egg mixture into greased mini muffin tins. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 40-45 minutes.
