Ingredients

Base Recipe
  • 4 large eggs (200 grams)
  • 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese (4 fl oz)
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream (1/2 fl oz)
  • salt and pepper to taste
Gruyere & Bacon Add-Ins
  • 1/3 cup gruyere cheese, shredded (30 grams)
  • 5 lices crispy cooked 25% less sodium bacon, finely chopped (33 grams, cooked weight)
Roasted Red Pepper Add-Ins
  • 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (40 grams)
  • 1/4 cup roasted red pepper, finely chopped (34 grams)
  • 1/4 cup baby spinach, chopped
Sausage & Cheddar Add-Ins

  • 1 tbsp chives, chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Choose 1 of the 3 flavors, then divide associated add-ins evenly between egg bite molds. Set aside.
  2. Add eggs, cottage cheese, heavy cream, salt and pepper to a blender. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds depending on the blender.
  3. Pour egg mixture into egg bite molds, filling until each mold is about 3/4 full. Gently tap the egg bite mold on the counter to release any larger air bubbles. Add 1-1.5 cups of water to the bottom of the Instant Pot inner cooking pot. Stack the egg bite molds onto the Instant Pot handled trivet and carefully lower them into the Instant Pot.
  4. Set Instant Pot to steam for 11 minutes (or high pressure) for 9 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of natural release. Vent any remaining pressure and flip egg bites onto a plate for serving.

Notes

  • Steam vs High Pressure: I found that the egg bites are less likely to spill out of the molds using steam on the high setting vs manual high pressure, but both work fine.
  • Baking Instructions: If you don't have an Instant Pot or the right egg bite molds, you can bake them in a silicone muffin pan at 350°F for 18-20 minutes instead.
