Step 1

Add the eggs, milk, 3/4 cup of grated cheese, and pepper to a blender and blend until smooth.

Step 2

Spray the egg bites silicone mold with cooking spray or coconut oil. Divide the egg mixture between the cups.

Step 3

Top each section with chopped bacon and remaining grated cheese. Gently press the bacon and cheese into the egg mixture.

Step 4

Wrap with foil or place the plastic lid on top of the silicone egg mold. Do not completely secure the lid, just lay it on top.

Step 5

Pour 1 cup of water into the liner of your pressure cooker and add the trivet. Carefully place the filled silicone mold on top of the trivet.

Step 6

Secure the lid, make sure the steam knob is in the “Sealing” position. Press the “Steam” button and adjust the time to 8  minutes using the + and – buttons.

When the pot beeps, allow the pressure to release naturally (about 5 to 10 minutes). Carefully remove  the Egg Bites from the Instant Pot and allow to cool for a few minutes before turning out onto a wire cooling rack .

Step 8

Hold the mold over the wire rack and gently push the egg bites out. If you hold it at an angle or press too hard, you may end up with cracks.

Step 9

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to a month.
