INSTANT POT EGG BITES

Steps:

• Optional Flavor Boosting Step - Brown Bacon: This optional step will add some depth of caramelized smoky aroma & flavor to the egg bites. You can either brown the bacon in Instant Pot or in the oven.Oven Method:-Place bacon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.-Place baking sheet on the middle rack of a preheated 400°F oven.-Bake bacon until crispy and golden-brown. Set a timer for roughly 18 - 20 minutes.Instant Pot Method:-Add bacon in Instant Pot, then heat up Instant Pot using "Sauté More" function (no need to add oil as bacon has a lot of fat).-Allow the bacon to crisp and brown on both sides (~7 - 9 mins).-Remove bacon from Instant Pot, then place them on a paper towel to absorb the excess fat.
• Prepare Egg Bites Mixture: While the bacon is browning in Instant Pot, break 4 large eggs into a large measuring cup. Mix and combine with ¼ tsp fine salt. Add ⅛ tsp ground black pepper, ¼ tsp (1.25ml) regular soy sauce, ¼ cup (60g) cottage cheese, ¼ cup (48g) freshly grated cheddar cheese, and ¼ cup (48g) freshly grated mozzarella to the egg mixture. Mix well.*Pro Tip: If you like more smooth, custard-like textured egg bites, use an immersion blender to blend the egg bites mixture.
• Add Browned Bacon and Green Onions: Your bacon should be browned at this point. Absorb the excess fat and roughly chop them into bacon bits. Clean and dry the Instant Pot inner pot. Add bacon bits and green onions to the egg mixture, then mix until just combined.
• Pressure Cook Egg Bites: Pour egg mixture into the silicone egg bites molds. Lightly wrap & cover the top of the egg bites mold with aluminum foil. Add 1 cup (250ml) cold water in Instant Pot. Place trivet with egg bites mold in Instant Pot. Close lid, then turn Venting Knob to Sealing position. Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 9 minutes + 6 minutes Natural Release. After 6 minutes, release the remaining pressure by turning the Venting Knob to Venting position. Carefully open the lid.
• Check Doneness & Serve: Unwrap the egg bite molds. Let the egg bites cool a bit, then pop them out. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and freshly grated cheese. Serve these yummy egg bites & enjoy~ :)

Carefully remove the pan and remove the foil. Invert the pan onto a plate and the cups should pop right out. If not, gently squeeze the eggs out.

INSTANT POT LOW-CARB STARBUCKS SOUS VIDE BACON EGG BITES

Steps:

• Add the eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, whipping cream, shredded cheese, salt and pepper to a blender. Blend for 30-45 seconds until well blended.
• Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot. Add the trivet (this comes with the Instant Pot).
• Carefully, add the baby-food container to the Pot. I have a 6qt Instant Pot. The baby-food container I used has 9 compartments. This is a tight squeeze! FYI, but it still works out just fine.
• Using a ladle, spoon the egg mixture into each of the compartments of the baby-food container.
• Top with the chopped peppers, onions, and bacon.
• Cover with the baby container lid. I did not snap the lid perfectly in place. I made sure the egg bites were covered.
• Place the lid on the Instant Pot and seal. Set the Instant Pot to the Steam setting. Cook for 12 minutes.
• Allow the steam to naturally release for 10 minutes, instead of immediate quick release.
• Press the release button, open the pot, and remove the container.
• Allow the egg bites to cool for a few minutes.
• To remove the bites, I carefully pushed up on the bottom of each. From there, each should slide right out.
