These came out better than I thought they would! I used mostly a parm,mozzarella, asiago mix and a bit of mixed cheddar. Plus I added diced tomatoes. I have the 7 egg mold so I reset the servings for 7, wanted to make sure I’d have enough mixture. I definitely did with all the bacon and tomatoes inside so I was able to make a second set. The adjusted measurements totally worked. SOOOO good!
Can these be frozen?
Hi Debbie,
Any food can be frozen.
The texture may be different after freezing.
Hi! I would like to know where you got the silicone mold. Thank you!
Love egg bites and all the variations that can be made. Amazon is my place to purchase the molds!
I changed the recipe to “Ham, Gouda, and Spinach Egg Bites”. Delicious. Although I increased the servings to 7, since my mold has 7 spaces, but I ended up with a lot more than I expected; 14 egg bites and an omelet. I sauteed the spinach and ham in 1T butter while mixing other ingredients, then added last in the mold. Maybe the butter is the reason they came out of the mold so easily, even without nonstick spray. Dont fill mold cavities all the way up, they will grow a little.
So delicious and easy to make! Definitely let it sit for a few minutes after its out of the pot – otherwise it doesn’t hold form very well 🙂
Yummy! And lots of protein with these ingredients. Will make again. Easy to adjust depending on stuff in my fridge.
Very tasty and fluffy. Next time I’ll add some chives.
Easy and delicuous! I would suggest you use half of the salt in the recipe or a lower sodium brand of bacon.
Delicious.
Really easy to make and a great go to on a busy morning. Love switching our cheeses, adding ham or sausage and fresh herbs. If you’re onion lovers like us chopped green or spanish onion is great too!
Has anyone substituted the heavy cream?
Yummy! Very easy and fun to eat.
This is my very first attempt with instant pot. The eggs were not done. Worried my pot is not good.
Thank you for the recipe! I use this mold with built-in handles and trivet, much easier and safer! I got it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QWS59LK
Delicious, easy prep & super simple! Son-in-law said, “I could eat a dozen of these!”
Since we didn’t have the mold insert, we used silicone muffin cups on the rack. Worked great, just need to be careful when arranging on the rack.
Turned out great! Did make a double mold batch, increasing to six eggs, which yields 3 cups of egg batter for 14 molds. The official instant pot molds W/ lids work very well. The bottom tier did not over cook, no spill overs. Prepared the filling & let it settle overnight in the fridge in the blender. I then centered the add ins of bacon & spinach in the molds. Allowed a cool down period in the molds to keep shape. Yummy!
Absolutely delicious and easy to make. Everyone raved about the egg bites!
Perfect! Will make these regularly as they were a smash hit with the entire family.
My kids loved these! I used sausage instead of bacon and substituted the cottage cheese with sour cream and they turned out great!
This was delicious and easy to make! Only the 3rd thing i uave done in my instant pot abd it came out beautifully. I didnt have time this morning to cook the bacon, so i judt left it out. Still delicious! I can imagine it wiuld be even yummier with bacon (because everything is!). Used a preshredded mixture of asiago, parmesan and romano cheese and it wss great!
