Description

Instant Pot Egg Bites are a quick, protein-rich breakfast featuring fluffy eggs combined with smoky turkey bacon and creamy plant-based cheese. Made effortlessly in your Instant Pot, these savory bites offer a tender custard-like texture and customizable flavors perfect for busy mornings or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp grape juice
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Fillings

  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), grape juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Sprinkle in the natural gelling agent and whisk thoroughly to ensure a custard-like consistency.
  2. Add the Fillings: Chop the smoked turkey bacon and plant-based cheese into small pieces. Gently fold these into the egg mixture, making sure everything is well distributed for consistent flavor in every bite.
  3. Prepare the Molds: Lightly grease silicone egg bite molds or small ramekins to prevent sticking. Pour the egg mixture evenly into each mold, filling them about three-quarters full to allow for expansion as they cook.
  4. Set Up the Instant Pot: Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot and place the trivet inside. Arrange the molds on the trivet carefully, stacking if needed but ensuring stability for even cooking.
  5. Cook the Egg Bites: Seal the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes, then allow a natural pressure release for an additional 10 minutes before opening. This gentle cooking method creates tender, custardy bites.
  6. Remove and Cool: Carefully take out the molds using tongs or oven mitts. Let the egg bites cool slightly before gently popping them out. Serve warm or store for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for the fluffiest texture and richest flavor.
  • Distribute bacon and cheese evenly in the mixture to avoid clumps.
  • Do not overfill molds; leave space to allow expansion without spilling.
  • Natural pressure release is key to prevent cracks and maintain softness.
  • Adjust cooking times based on your Instant Pot model if necessary.
