I know, I know…there are a million and one recipes out there for egg bites. This was why I hesitated to post a recipe for a while. But, last week a coworker forgot her breakfast at home, so I offered her some of my egg bites. She recently started a diet, and I had actually made some adjustments to the popular egg bite recipes to make them a little bit healthier. She liked them so much that she asked for the recipe, so here it is!
I use the silicone egg bite molds that are popular for egg bites nowadays. I have tried in mason jars and cupcake molds to make the egg bites, but they do not come out the same. The texture is different.
Crumble 1/2 strip of cooked bacon in each cavity. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a blender, then blend until smooth. Pour into the egg mold cavities. Cover, then place on a trivet in your pressure cooker and cook on the Steam setting for 8 minutes. After the time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes before releasing the remaining pressure.
Your egg bites might explode a little bit sometimes, but that’s okay.
The egg bites can keep in the fridge for up to one week. I hear that you can freeze them also, but I have not had any luck with that (they get all weird and watery for me). I may try it again eventually, and will update this post accordingly if it works.
Pressure Cooker Bacon and Cheese Egg Bites
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 2 oz shredded cheese (I use cheddar)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 1/2 strips thick-cut bacon, cooked
- A dash of hot sauce (optional)
- Equipment used: Silicone egg bite mold (such as this one)
Directions
Crumble 1/2 strip of bacon into the each cavity of the egg bite mold. Set aside. Add 1 cup of water to the liner of your electric pressure cooker.
Combine the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, salt, and hot sauce (if using) in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Divide the mixture evenly between the 7 cavities. Cover with foil, then place on a trivet in the liner of the pressure cooker. Cover, seal, and cook on the Steam setting for 8 minutes. When the timer is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes before removing the remaining pressure.
