Equipment

blender
instant pot
silicone egg mold

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • non stick spray, I use avocado oil spray
  • ½ cup sharp cheddar, shredded
  • 3 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp paprika

Instructions

  • Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot and place the metal trivet inside. Lightly grease a 7-cavity silicone egg bite mold (I use avocado oil spray).
  • In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings. Blend until smooth and lightly frothy.
  • Add a small pinch of shredded cheddar to the bottom of each cup to help anchor the mix-ins. Pour the blended egg mixture into each mold on top of the cheese, filling them about 90% full.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and the crumbled bacon evenly over the top of each cup. Cover the mold tightly with foil.
  • Lower the covered mold onto the trivet. Seal the lid and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook → Low Pressure → 8 minutes.
  • Let the Instant Pot naturally release pressure for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining steam. Carefully lift out the mold and let the bites rest for 5 minutes before removing so they can firm up and release cleanly.

Notes

The Instant Pot takes 3–5 minutes to come up to pressure before the 8-minute cook time begins. This is normal and doesn’t require any extra steps.

Storage & Reheat

  • Store the egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze them individually and keep in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat refrigerated bites in the microwave for 30–45 seconds, or longer if needed.
  • If frozen, thaw overnight in the fridge or microwave gently on 50% power until warmed through.
