Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 8-16 ounce ground breakfast sausage cooked and drained
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper
- ¾ cup shredded cheese I used grass-fed cheddar, but try Gruyere, Mexican cheese, Swiss, Colby Jack, Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, your favorite
Garnish
- chives or green onions, chopped
- smoked paprika just a little sprinkle for color and taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl whisk the eggs, salt and pepper until smooth, stir in the sausage and shredded cheese.
- Place the trivet in the Instant Pot and add one cup of water.
- Spray the egg mold with a little avocado oil or spray oil and pour the egg mixture into the molds. Fill them to about ¾ full, almost to the top, do not place on the cover.
- Select the “manual” or "pressure cook" button and cook on high pressure for 7 minutes, 8 minutes for high altitude.
- Perform a quick pressure release, being careful to use a spoon so you don’t burn yourself.
- Remove the lid from the Instant Pot. Carefully, using the trivet, remove the egg mold from the Instant Pot.
- Once the mold is cool enough to touch, remove the egg bites from the molds by inverting onto a plate and gently pressing the bottom of the mold, they should pop right out.

Notes
- Storage Tips
- parchment
- Oven Egg BitesNo Instant Pot? No problem! You can bake these instead:
- For a regular muffin tin: Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease the tin and fill each cup about ¾ full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until set and lightly golden.
- For a mini muffin tin: Grease well and fill each cup ¾ full. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until set.
- Allow the Egg Bites to Cool - Before chilling allow it to cool completely.
- Freeze | Place cooled egg bites flat on a parchment or wax paper lined tray. Freeze one hour, then transfer to airtight baggie or container, freeze up to three months.
- Refrigerate | Store cooled egg bites in an airtight container for up to five days.
- Reheat | Place a few egg bites onto a microwave-safe plate covered with a damp paper towel. Since microwave powers and times vary, start frozen egg bites at 1-2 minutes and microwave defrosted or refrigerated bites in 30 second intervals.
- Oven Reheat | Preheat oven to 350°F (175° C) and place egg bites on tray and bake in oven or toaster oven for 10-15 minutes.
- Try adding any veggies, like sweet onions, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, chopped spinach or spicy chopped bell pepper.
- Add up to ¾ cup of cottage cheese for a Starbucks egg bite, increasing your total egg bite count to about 10.
- If preferred, sprinkle in some additional herbs, like dried oregano, basil, dill or parsley.
- Swap the breakfast sausage for freshly fried bacon bits (or store-bought), chopped ham, Canadian bacon, chorizo, or omit the meat.
- These egg bites can easily be made dairy-free by using a dairy-free cheese alternative instead of authentic shredded cheese.
- For a regular muffin tin: Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease the tin and fill each cup about ¾ full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until set and lightly golden.
- For a mini muffin tin: Grease well and fill each cup ¾ full. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until set.
