6 quart Instant Pot
Silicone Egg Molds
Silicone Oven Mitts
Blender/Food Processor
Measuring Spoons and Cups
Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls

Ingredients

4 slices cooked bacon, chopped
12 large eggs Note 1
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese Note 2
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
non-stick cooking spray
shredded cheese, chopped green onions, and salsa optional garnishes

Instructions

Spray the silicone molds with cooking spray. Divide the cooled crumbled bacon evenly to the silicone egg molds. Set aside.
In a blender, combine eggs, shredded cheese, parsley, salt, and ground black pepper, blend well.
Evenly pour the egg mixture into each mold, filling about ¾ the way.
Cover both molds with aluminum foil.
Place the trivet inside the Instant Pot vessel. Add 1 cup of water to the vessel.
Put the egg molds on the trivet in the vessel. Both silicone molds will cook together. Place one mold on top of the other.
Put the lid on the Instant Pot. Close the sealing valve.
Set the Instant Pot to “High Pressure” for 12 minutes.
Once cooking is complete, do a manual release.
Carefully remove the egg molds (use heat resistant mitts or towel as the molds will be hot), and transfer to a cooling rack.
Once the bites have cooled, flip the molds upside down, and push on each mold to pop out the eggs.
Top with more cheese, bacon, green onions, or salsa.

Notes

Be sure to check Expert Tips and FAQs above with important tips and questions that can help make a delicious recipe.

A 6-quart Instant Pot is what we use to test this recipe.

Note 1: There are a few options for the eggs, If you need a low cholesterol option to make these eggs, use 2 cups of egg beaters instead of the eggs.

To replace eggs with egg whites, use 2 egg whites for every 1 egg. If using a carton of egg whites ¼ cup of egg whites equals one egg.

Note 2: Other cheese suggestions are Monterey Jack, Swiss, Gruyere, and feta.

When adding any veggies to this recipe, I'd recommend sautéing them first and then adding into the egg mixture.

The "Starbucks" recipes uses egg whites, cottage cheese, roasted red peppers, Monterey Jack, and Gruyere cheese. When I make this variation, we use ½ cup of cottage 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.
