Instant Pot Egg Bites (Totally Customizable and Easy!)

 

(You can see the mozzarella pearls showing through the tops of the egg bites)

Most recipes for egg bites on the internet make like 14 bites, but sometimes you just don't want to make that many so here is my recipe for 7 egg bites. And you can customize this with whatever ingredients you want like cheese, bacon (the Oscar Meyer Recipe Pieces on the salad dressing aisle is perfect for this), ham, sausage, veggies, etc. The possibilities are endless!

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• Pinch of baking powder
• Dash of salt
• 7 Bel Gioioso Mozzarella Pearls (I get them at Walmart but this is optional)
• Silicone Egg Mold
• Trivet 
• Non stick cooking spray

The molds will not fit inside of an Instant Pot smaller than 6 quarts.

The method:

1. Spray the egg bites mold with cooking spray and set aside.
2. Mix the eggs, baking powder in salt in a measuring cup. (The spout comes in handy)
3. If you're adding other ingredients like cheese, meats or veggies, now is a good time to put them in the openings of the mold.
4. Pour the egg mixture in each opening until it's 2/3 full. Put the top on.
5. Add a cup of water to the liner in the Instant Pot. Set your Instant Pot to pressure cook on low and set the timer for 11 minutes for the 6 quart and 8 minutes for the 8 quart. 
6. Place the mold on your trivet with handles and place inside the Instant Pot. Put the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the release valve is set to Sealing. Make sure Keep Warm is OFF.
7. Once the timer goes off, do a quick release by turning the valve to Venting. Once it is finished releasing steam, using a pot holder remove the egg mold on the trivet. Open the lid and let cool for a few minutes before inverting on a plate. You may have to tap the bottoms to give them a little help coming out.
