Instant Pot Egg Bites

Instant Pot Egg Bites

This is a variety of my favorite steamed egg bites that I make using my Instant Pot. My recipe amount is for 14 egg bites, which is two batches in the mold that I have at home.

The moment I spotted those little egg bites in the Starbucks display case, I knew I had to figure out how to make them at home. I was there for my usual nitro dirty chai latte when the barista mentioned they were their new sous vide egg bites - fluffy, protein-packed, and apparently flying off the shelves. One bite of those velvety, perfectly cooked eggs and I drove straight home to start experimenting. After a few Amazon purchases and several test batches, I cracked the code using my trusty Instant Pot.

These Instant Pot egg bites represent the perfect marriage of convenience and quality that I'm always chasing in my kitchen. The pressure cooker creates that signature silky, custard-like texture that makes the coffee shop version so addictive, but at a fraction of the cost and with complete control over the ingredients. I love that I can customize each batch with whatever vegetables and cheese I have on hand, making these endlessly versatile for meal prep.

What makes these Instant Pot egg bites particularly special is how they solve the eternal breakfast problem - having something healthy, protein-rich, and delicious ready to grab on busy mornings. I make a double batch every Sunday, and they keep perfectly in the fridge all week. A quick 30-second microwave zap and they're as good as fresh, with that same pillowy texture that made me fall in love with them at Starbucks.

In my kitchen, these egg bites have become a meal prep essential that I genuinely look forward to eating. The combination of whole eggs and egg whites creates the perfect balance of richness and lightness, while the cheese adds just enough indulgence to make them feel like a treat. Whether you're doing keto, Whole30, or just trying to eat more protein, these egg bites deliver without any of the hassle of traditional breakfast cooking.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Chop all vegetables that you want to add into your egg bites.

  2. 2

    Blend eggs, egg whites, and cheese using a blender. Add salt and pepper if you don't plan to use sun dried tomatoes. If you do plan to use sun dried tomatoes, they are already salted and I don't recommend adding more.

  3. 3

    Line the egg bite silicone mold with cooking spray.

  4. 4

    Add equal amounts of egg mixture into each mold. This ends up being roughly half way to the top of the mold that I use, but will vary. Make sure that you leave enough room for the egg to fluff up during the cooking process.

  5. 5

    Add vegetables to each mold and stir.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Instant Pot by adding the steamer insert into the bottom and pouring 1 cup of water into the bottom.

  7. 7

    Place the silicone lid on the egg bite mold and gently lower it into the Instant Pot.

  8. 8

    Select "Manual" on the Instant Pot and add 10 minutes using the arrows. It will take 5 minutes to pressurize, 10 minutes to cook, and 10 minutes to self-release.
