Instant Pot Egg Bites
With this whole world in a stay at home mode, I’ve been making my family their favorite Copycat Recipes. My girls love Starbuck’s coffee and sous vide egg bites. Personally, I don’t love the price so we started testing recipes to make these bites at home.
This is our basic recipe and we vary ingredients depending on what we have in the house. It is a very versatile recipe and you can vary your ingredients. Besides being a great breakfast, the egg bites make a great after work-out snack.
Ingredients
I recommend using a block of cheese and grate it. Pre-shredded cheese can have a film on it that makes it hard to melt.
Center cut bacon is lean so that is always my go-to choice. Any type of bacon, including turkey will work for this recipe.
Also, depending on your preferences, feel free to swap the eggs for egg beaters, or a mix of eggs with egg whites.
Step by Step Instructions
- Us a blender to mix the ingredients.
- Spray the silicone molds with cooking spray. Pour the egg mixture into the molds.
- Cover the filled molds and place in the Instant Pot. Follow recipe instructions below for cooking.
- Let eggs cool a bit before popping them out of the molds.
5. Serve and enjoy!
Expert Tips
- Be sure to spray the silicone molds well with non-stick spray.
- Use the blender to mix all the ingredients, including the filling. This helps the ingredients to not drop to the bottom while they cook.
- Through recipe testing, when varying the recipe, and using veggies, we recommend cooking the vegetables before adding into the egg mixture. For example, saute peppers, mushrooms, onions before adding into the mix.
Variations
Try and of these options
- Depending on your preferences, egg beaters, or a mix of whole and egg whites can be used.
- If replacing whole eggs with egg white, use 2 egg whites for 1 egg.
- If using Egg Beaters, in general, ¼ cup of egg beaters is equal to 1 egg.
- The “Starbucks” recipes uses egg whites, cottage cheese, roasted red peppers, Monterey Jack, and Gruyère cheese.
- Spinach, Roasted Red Peppers, and Feta cheese.
- Chopped Kale, Feta Cheese, Roasted Peppers.
- Vary the protein with any of these choices such as diced ham, cooked crumbled breakfast sausage, or crumbled tofu.
- Some other cheese to try can be Parmesan, Swiss, Gruyère, Monterey Jack, Feta, and Goat cheese.
The possibilities are endless. These are fabulous on the go breakfast eggs that you can be creative with the results.
