Sesame Chicken
Fluffy Egg Bites
| By : |
The menu at America’s favorite chain coffee shop (ahem, you know which one I’m talking about) does not disappoint. The cost, however, adds up quickly. By skipping the store-bought option, both you and your wallet will be full. Make a batch of these egg bites to eat throughout the week; they reheat nicely in a microwave. If you have a blender, the results are spectacular, but no one will complain if you just use a whisk.

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon or sausage optional

Instructions
PREPARE THE EGG MIXTURE.
- Divide the crumbled bacon or sausage (if using) between the silicone egg bite molds. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, shredded cheese, cottage cheese, cream, and salt. (Alternatively, you can blend these ingredients in a blender.)
PREPARE THE MOLDS.
- Divide the egg mixture between the molds. Cover the molds with aluminum foil.
PRESSURE COOK THE EGGS.
- Pour the water into the inner cooking pot and place a trivet in the bottom. Place the molds on top of the trivet. Lock the lid, select Steam, and set the time to 8 minutes. When cooking ends, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then turn the valve to “venting” to quick release the remaining pressure.
FINISH THE EGGS.
- Unlock and remove the lid. Remove the silicone molds from the pot. Allow the eggs to rest in the mold for 2 minutes before removing.

They came out perfect. I had added a little sauteed spinach. I can see that this recipe can be modified many ways to suit your tastes and to add variety with a bit of cooked vegetables and/or cooked meats.
These turned out so perfectly! Very fluffy and delicious. Ive made three batches now. Ive also tried it with different cheeses and ive loved every one. Make sure to take off the aluminum foil as soon as you take them out of the pot.
Very fluffy and good for breakfast bites. I’d recommend a small bit of seasoning to add a bot more flavor.
Very easy and tasty. My son loved these. I used silicone cupcake cups and covered loosely with foil. Little hard to place on trivet without making little mess but worth it.
Rhis recipe is super easy & they turned out PERFECT!! Def a keeper!
I salted and peppered the eggs before pouring into the molds.
I also sprinkled some Everything but the Bagel seasoning in each cup before filling. I use this as my base recipe, I’ve made spinach and feta, tomato and cheddar, western. There’s so many variations. They come out great each time!
Super easy and delicious! Instant pot is hit or miss with me regarding success with recipes but this one turned out great! Will definitely try different ingredients for variety
Nice, thank you. you should try this mold with built-in handles and trivet, much easier and safer! I got it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QWS59LK
Very tasty. I added some roasted garlic rosemary sea salt and fresh ground pepper and minced chives. I used silicone baking cups which were very difficult to get into the pot without spilling some. I also forgot the foil cover, but they still turned out good. I’m definitely getting the mold.
These are amazing and freeze well for a quick morning breakfast.
How do I do this if I have no steam option on my instapot????
Thank you very much!
You should join this Instant Pot Tips & Recipes Facebook group. I got a lot of new ideas and recipes. highly recommended! Here is a link to the group – http://bit.ly/33CmKvM
I have the three 6qt Gourmet Duo Auth the sous vide option. These cooking directions are not very helpful as it will not allow me to set a time below 30 min. HELP PLEASE
No steam setting, try this, its what I do.
Select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 10 minutes.
When the time is up, quick-release the pressure. Remove the egg mold and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
Unmold the egg bites and enjoy immediately or refrigerate up to one week.
Mine came out slightly runny on the inside and mishapen. Im at 7,800 feet elevation and used the altitude setting. Not sure went wrong.
This is fantastic! Thank you so much! For anyone who asked for Instant Pot accessories, check out this Amazon store – https://amzn.to/3rzTm7K
Made these with some modification but they truly turned out amazing. I used 3 eggs only, the cheese was half mozzarella and half aged cheddar, HM yogurt instead of cottage cheese, added cayenne and black pepper. I blended it a bit instead of mixing it. The recommended cooking time was followed.They were fluffy and delicious! Next time i will add bacon crumbs to the egg bite mold before i fill them 3/4 of the way. This recipe is a keeper!
