3 slicesCooked Thick Sliced Bacon, chopped (or 1/2 cup Cooked Crumbled Sausage)

Optional Add-Ins: • corn, 1 tsp Hot Sauce • 1/2 cup Broccoli (cooked, chopped small) • 1/2 cup Tomatoes, deseeded, diced • 1/2 cup Roasted Red Bell Peppers, diced • 1/2 cup Mushrooms, diced

Cooking Instructions

36 minutes

1

Spray the silicone egg bites mold with the cooking spray. Then Set aside.
2

Add the eggs, cottage cheese, heavy cream, (use whatever cheese you love) Gruyére cheese, pepper, and chives to the blender and blend for 2 minutes on medium speed, or blend well or until the mixture is light and fully. Be careful not to blend dark ingredients with you egg mixture. The result could look nasty but taste delicious.
3

Next fill the egg bite mold openings halfway with the egg mixture. Then add 3/4 of the chopped bacon or other add-ins you decided on (I used mushrooms and corn) and gently press them in. Continue filling with the egg mixture, and top with remaining bacon, and press it in.
4

Pour 1 cup of water into the inner stainless liner of the pot. Then set the full egg bites mold on the trivet and very carefully set it in the pot. Loosely cover with foil.
5

Close the lid of the pot and set the steam release knob to the sealing position.
6

Press the Pressure Cook or Manual button (or dial) then press the +/- button (or dial) to select 8 minutes (low pressure). The pot will take a few minutes to come to pressure.
7

When the cook cycle is finished, let the pot sit undisturbed for 8 minutes (8 minute Natural Release). Then open the steam release valve to Quick Release the remaining pressure until the pin in the lid drops down.
8

Open the lid and remove the foil. Use silicone mitts to grasp the trivet handles and carefully remove the egg bites mold. Set aside to rest for about 4 minutes. They may be puffed up quite a bit, but they will go back down. They will come out of the mold easier if they cool a little.
9

Serve warm as is, or with any garnish you like.

Recipe Notes
*If you like lots of add-ins in one batch, you may have too much mixture for one mold to hold it all. Maybe consider getting a second mold, or make another batch.
One batch yields 7 Instant Pot Egg Bites

I’m a fan of Starbucks’ sous vide egg bites, and I wanted to make something that was easy to grab and go in the morning. These egg bites are not as soft as the Starbucks version since they’re baked, but they’re still pretty tasty (and a helluva lot cheaper!)

Ive been making these for awhile now . You can use whatever cheese you like. This is almost a copy cat of Starbucks egg bites. You can put whatever you like in them just don’t over flow. One of my easy grab and go breakfast.

I'm not a morning person so making time for breakfast is hard. I make these on weekends and eat them for breakfast all week. I try to stick to the Adkins diet also so this works for low carb breakfast. Can also be made using only egg whites if you're into that.

Ham and Cheese Egg Muffins Ham and Cheese Egg Muffins

This is a great, protein filled breakfast that can be made ahead of time. 2 of these with some fresh fruit is enough to fill me up in the morning. You can double the recipe to have muffins on hand throughout the week. These are also super customizable...a great way to use up extra veggies.

I can't remember where I first saw this recipe but I've been making it for years. You can sub the ham for bacon, turkey, sausage or any other protein you like and I just use whatever cheese I have in the fridge. I've never made it using a full-sized muffin pan but I'm sure its possible using larger proportions. Just use your imagination or what's on hand and go with it! Hope you enjoy!!
