Servings: 14 egg bites
Calories: 42kcal
Ingredients
- 9 large eggs
- 1/4 cup water or milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Ground black pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
Optional Mix Ins:
- Handful of spinach finely chopped
- 1/2 large bell pepper diced
- Parmesan cheese grated
Instructions
- In a 4 cup measuring cup, add eggs, water, baking powder, salt, pepper and whisk well.
- Spray msilicone mold with cooking spray. Add mixture into each of 14 openings about 2/3 full. If you want, add veggies and cheese now and do not stir. Close each mold with silicone lid and stack in a staggered position, so the cups don’t line up. Then you won’t have lids sucked in and deformed bites.
- Then place on top of the trivet with handles. If your trivet doesn't have handles, you might struggle getting mold placed carefully into a 6 quart pot. It is very tight and be careful not to spill.
- In Instant Pot, add 1 cup cold water. Place trivet inside, close the lid, set pressure release valve to Sealing and press Pressure Cook on Low for 8 minutes - 8 quart Instant Pot, 11 minutes - 6 quart Instant Pot.
- After turn valve to Venting. Using oven mitts and holding onto handles of the trivet or to the mold itself, remove from Instant Pot.
- Open the lids, cool off a few minutes and using small silicone spatula go around the edge staying close to the walls of each opening and release egg bites one by one.

Notes
- Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freeze: Cook and cool egg bites. Pop in an airtight glass container with a lid and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Where can I buy a silicone mold? I bought this one, actually a set of 2, on Amazon. What I like is that it has 2 lids and not 1, to prevent spilling.
- Prep toppings small: You can add anything you want. Just make sure to dice, chop or grate finely since egg bites are small.
