Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Gruyère, or Monterey Jack)
- ¼ cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter option)
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup cooked, seasoned meat (such as turkey sausage or beef sausage, finely chopped)
- ¼ cup diced bell peppers or spinach (optional)
- Cooking spray (for greasing the molds)
Instructions
- Blend the Mixture: In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
- Prepare the Mold: Lightly spray a silicone egg bite mold with cooking spray.
- Fill the Molds: Pour the egg mixture into each mold, filling about ¾ full. Add optional mix-ins like seasoned meat or veggies.
- Set Up the Instant Pot: Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot. Place the trivet inside and set the filled mold on top. Cover the mold with foil or a silicone lid.
- Cook: Seal the Instant Pot lid, set the valve to “Sealing,” and cook on Steam mode for 8–10 minutes (or Low Pressure for 10 minutes).
- Natural Release: Let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
- Cool & Serve: Carefully remove the mold, let the egg bites cool slightly, then pop them out and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra creaminess, use full-fat cottage cheese and heavy cream.
- To get that classic Starbucks texture, blending the egg mixture is key!
- These egg bites store well—refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to a month. Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
- Try different add-ins like feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, or mushrooms for variety.
