How To Customize Instant Pot Egg Bites
Instant pot egg bites with spinach and sausage are certainly one of my favorite combinations but this recipe is completely customizable.
All egg bites have three basic ingredients: eggs, cheese and mix-ins. It’s so easy to swap these around and make copycat Starbucks egg bites in any flavor.
Here are a few suggestions:
- Eggs – I like to use whole eggs for color and flavor. If you prefer you can certainly use just egg whites.
- Cheese – Cottage cheese helps to give egg bites a smooth, creamy texture. You can use any soft cheese such as cream cheese, brie, Boursin (yum!!), feta, or goat cheese–or a combination of several. You can also add different types of shredded cheese if you’d like.
- Mix-Ins – Sausage and spinach is one of my favorite combinations but you can mix in any chopped meats or veggies. Try crumbled cooked bacon, diced ham, leftover taco meat, onions, peppers, zucchini, fresh herbs or anything you can imagine.
How to Make Egg Bites in the Instant Pot
It’s really easy to make Instant Pot egg bites with sausage.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Eggs
- Cottage Cheese
- Swiss Cheese
- Salt and Black Pepper
- Sausage
- Fresh Spinach
How to Make It:
(Full printable recipe is available below)
Prepare the egg mixture. First, you’ll use a blender to blend the eggs, cottage cheese, swiss cheese, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Prepare the silicone egg mold. Next, you’ll add a little bit of fresh spinach to each egg mold then divide the egg mixture between them. Finish with a bit of crumbled sausage, then loosely cover the mold with foil.
Prepare the Instant Pot. Then, you’ll pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot then place the silicone mold on the trivet and lower down into the Instant Pot. Close the lid and set the vent to the sealed position.
Cook and serve. Last, you’ll Select a cook time of 8 minutes at high pressure. When the cooking time is complete, allow a 10-minute natural release, followed by a quick release of remaining pressure. Lift the mold out of the Instant Pot and remove the foil. Serve egg bites warm.
Notes and Adaptations:
- You can adjust the filling for these egg bites based on your preferences. Cheddar or Colby Jack cheese work well. You can omit the spinach and add in sun-dried tomatoes for a different flavor profile. You can use bacon instead of sausage, etc.
- I love to prepare the “batter” and pour it into the egg mold the night before, then store it in the refrigerator overnight. When I wake up in the morning, I can pop the mold into the Instant Pot for cooking!
- I prefer to only cook one mold at a time. If you want to double the recipe, you can either cook the molds separately, or you can carefully stack them.
- To stack more than one egg mold, cover each mold with foil, then ensure the top mold is rotated so it doesn’t press down into the eggs in the bottom mold. I’d recommend increasing the cook time to 10 minutes for two molds.
Recommended Equipment:
- Instant Pot or other electric pressure cooker
- Silicone egg bites mold for the Instant Pot
