Instant Pot Egg Bites
Description
Instant Pot Egg Bites use a mixture of eggs blended with cottage cheese to create a creamy base. This mixture is poured into molds, then sprinkled with vegetables such as broccolini, arugula, bell pepper, and bacon bits for added texture and taste. The filled mold is covered and placed in the Instant Pot, which steams the egg bites under pressure.
The steaming ensures the egg bites cook evenly and stay tender without drying out. The cottage cheese contributes moisture and richness, while the variety of fillings gives both color and bursts of flavor in each bite. Cooking in the Instant Pot allows gentle heat and convenient hands-off preparation.
These egg bites work well as a protein-rich breakfast or snack and can be customized by varying the vegetables or meats. Removing them from the mold is simple once cooled slightly, and they can be reheated gently or enjoyed cold.
Ingredients
- 4 egg
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup broccolini
- 1/3 cup bacon bits
- 1/3 cup arugula
- 1/3 cup bell pepper
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients for the recipe.
- Using a blender, combine the eggs and cottage cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture into the mold, leaving about a 1/4-inch space at the top. Sprinkle veggies, meats, and/or herbs into the egg bites. Cover the mold tightly using a lid or foil.
- Fill the instant Pot with half a cup of water and place the mold on the trivet. Secure the lid of the Instant Pot and flip it to the sealed position. Set the timer to 10 minutes and turn on the steam setting. Allow the Instant Pot to do a natural release.
- Flip on on the venting position to remove any remaining pressure in the Instant Pot. Once the pressure pin drops, safely remove mold. Take the egg bites out of the mold and enjoy!
