Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 6 tbsp egg whites or egg whites from 2 large eggs
- 1 cup gruyere cheese shredded
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 5 slices bacon cooked
Instructions
- Blend it: Combine whole eggs, egg whites, gruyere cheese, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, heavy cream, and three slices of crispy bacon in the blender. Give it a good blend for about 30 seconds to ensure everything is nicely mixed.
- Prep molds: Spray two silicon molds with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the egg mixture into each mold, filling them up to about two-thirds.
- Add more bacon: Chop up the remaining bacon slices and sprinkle them evenly among the molds.
- Get steamy: Cover the molds tightly with aluminum foil. A tight seal is crucial for creating that perfect, steamy environment inside the Instant Pot. Place the trivet in the pot and pour in two cups of water.
- Cooking time: Stack the molds on the trivet, slightly offset to allow steam to circulate. Seal the Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. At the end of the cooking time, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before manually releasing any remaining steam.
- Serve or store: Carefully remove the molds, let them cool for a moment, and then pop out the egg bites.
Notes
Tips & Tricks
- To make it easier to load the egg bites into the Instant Pot: remove the trivet from the Instant Pot and set it on the counter, place the loaded and wrapped silicon molds on the trivet (remember to off-set them), then use the handles of the trivet to lower the molds into the Instant Pot.
- Wipe off the tops of the silicon molds with a paper towel before covering with aluminum foil to ensure a nice seal.
- Store egg bites in the refrigerator in the silicon molds. They come with lids!
- Use microwave bacon for this recipe to save time.
