Ingredients/Variations

EGGS Although this recipe calls for whole eggs, egg whites are totally OK if that’s what you prefer! Typically, I calculate that two egg whites equal one egg. As long as the arithmetic works out, you can use mostly egg whites or a few whole eggs.

MILK These egg bites are extremely creamy because of the milk! If you don’t have milk, substitute cream or almond milk.

SEASONINGS The only flavors used in these egg bits are salt and pepper, and they are simply fantastic. Why not give these egg pieces some flavor by flavoring them with your favorite seasoned salt, cajun seasoning, or even taco seasoning?

ADD-INS The possibilities are endless with this recipe, which calls for cheese, diced ham, and green onions. Fun flavors can be created by adding up to 1 tablespoon of add-ins each cup.

• VEGGIES It would taste excellent with fresh, freshly chopped herbs, roasted red peppers, mushrooms, caramelized onions, spinach, or even broccoli.
• MEAT Add bacon bits, morning sausage, leftover sandwich meat, or even Italian sausage to these egg bites! How about any taco meat left over?
• CHEESE The variety of cheeses would be delicious! Basically whatever cheese you have on hand, including Mozza, Monterey Jack, and Gruyere!

How to Make Egg Bites in an Instant Pot

These egg bites are really simple to make in the Instant Pot and are excellent for breakfast any day of the week.

1. Pour the egg mixture equally into silicone molds that have been generously greased, as per the recipe below.
2. Put the ingredients in the egg mixture, cover the mold with a lid or tin foil, and set it on a trivet.
3. Place the trivet with the mold inside the Instant Pot after adding water to the liner.
4. Cover the pot and cook it under high pressure for 8 minutes. Turn the Instant Pot off and wait 10 minutes for the pressure to naturally release.
5. Pull the trivet and mold from the Instant Pot, remove the packaging, and carefully release the egg bites onto a platter.

What to serve with these egg bites

If you’re feeding a lot, egg bites go wonderful with rainbow fruit kabobs and hashbrown breakfast casserole, but they also taste fantastic on their own! Alternatively, serve with mimosas and toast with avocado and bacon for brunch!

Add a strawberry banana smoothie or green smoothie for a quick breakfast. Maybe as a sweet treat, a banana breakfast cookie!

Egg Bites

Breakfast served in the pressure cooker is simple and nutritious with these Instant Pot Egg Bites!

Ingredients(Egg Bites in and Instant Pot)

• 5 eggs
• ¼ cup milk
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch of black pepper
• ¼ cup ham chopped
• ¼ cup cheddar cheese shredded
• 1 tablespoon green onions sliced
• 1 cup water

Instructions

1. Eggs, milk, salt, and pepper should all be whipped together in a medium liquid measuring cup.
2. Divide the egg mixture among the cups in a silicone 7 egg bite mold that has been coated with nonstick spray.
3. No need to stir; just divide the ham, cheese, and green onion among the cups. They will deteriorate.
4. Put a lid on the mold or closely wrap it in tin foil. Put the mold on the trivet.
5. Lower the trivet with the mold into the Instant Pot after adding water (1.5 cups for an 8 quart).
6. Turn the valve to sealing, close the lid, and choose Manual or Pressure. Cook for 8 minutes under high pressure. It will take 5 to 10 minutes for the pressure to build up and the countdown to start.
7. After the preset cooking time has passed, switch off the Instant Pot and wait 10 minutes for the pressure to naturally dissipate before opening the valve to let out any leftover pressure.
8. Remove trivet and mold from Instant Pot, remove packaging, and carefully release egg bites from the mold onto a platter. They will be sultry!
9. Even if they somewhat deflate as they cool, they will still be wonderful.

Notes

For up to 7 days, you can store Instant Pot Egg Bites in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Reheat in the microwave in 30-second intervals until thoroughly warm.

They can also be frozen and heated through in the microwave for one to two minutes.
