  • Choose high pressure or manual and set for 8 minutes.
  • Allow a 5-10 minute natural release.
  • Vent valve to release any pressure then remove lid once all the pressure is released.
  • Remove silicone mold from the Instant Pot. Allow to cool for 1-2 minutes. Remove lid then invert mold onto a plate to remove egg bites.

Notes

  • Optional garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley or freshly grated cheese as soon as you remove the egg bites from the mold.
  • Changing the ratios of egg/milk/cheese/add-ins can change the consistency of the egg bites and change cooking time. 
  • You can add other ingredients, such as bell pepper, onion or spinach but we recommend sauteeing them before adding them to your egg bites. Add them to the bites after you’ve added the egg mixture to the mold. Do not add too many add-ins or the egg bites will not stay together as well and may not cook as well.
  • Do not use a plastic lid if your silicone egg bite mold has one. The plastic will melt in the Instant Pot.
  • Do not skip the natural release. This extra time gives the eggs time to finish cooking and set.
  • If your egg bites are not fully cooked, put them back into the instant pot, cover, reseal and set timer to 2 minutes.
