WHAT IS AN EGG BITE?

Egg bites are whipped up eggs, flavored with spices and add-ins like cheese, spinach, bell pepper, mushrooms or bacon. They are crustless, cooked in bite sized molds in the air fryer or Instant Pot and come out incredibly light, flavorful and airy, much like a soufflé.

INSTRUCTIONS

BLEND EGGS: In a blender or food processor, blend eggs, milk, cheese, salt, pepper and ground mustard. Blend until smooth.

🔴 TIP: Don’t skip blending your egg mixture in a blender or food processor, whisking eggs and cheese by hand is tempting but blending creates a very fluffy egg bite that’s spongy and moist.

🔴 TIP: Do not overstuff your egg bites, adding too many mix-ins will make the egg bites fall apart.

COVER: Cover silicone egg mold with a silicone lid or loosely tent with foil.

COOK: Lock and seal the Instant Pot. Cook for 8 minutes with a 5-10 minute natural release.

🔴 TIP: Be careful, changing the ratios of egg/milk/cheese/add-ins can change the consistency of the egg bites and change cooking time.

SERVE: Release the pressure and remove eggs from the Instant Pot. Remove egg bites from the silicone mold and serve.

🔴 TIP: Optional garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley or freshly grated cheese as soon as you remove the egg bites from the mold.

• Mayonnaise: Mayo helps hold it all together and contributes a creamy texture.

• Salt and Pepper: Adds depth of flavor.
