Ingredients

  • 3 strips of bacon
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk can use heavy cream, half and half or low fat milk
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup shredded gruyere cheese

Instructions

Instant Pot Instructions

  • Cook bacon on the stovetop until fully cooked, but not too crispy
  • Blend eggs, milk, cream cheese and salt in a high speed blender until thoroughly combined - be sure the cream cheese is fully mixed in
  • Take a metal trivet (mine came with the egg bite mold) and place the silicone egg bite mold on the trivet
  • Spray the egg bite mold with oil so that the bites do not stick
  • Place a few pieces of chopped bacon and some shredded gruyere cheese into each egg cup
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly into all 7 egg cups on top of the bacon and cheese
  • Pour 1 cup of water into the instant pot and slowly lower the filled egg bites into the instant pot on the trivet
  • Close the Instant Pot lid and set the release valve to sealing
  • Set the Instant Pot on steam for 10 minutes
  • The Instant Pot will come to pressure and then steam for 10 minutes 
  • Once this is done immediately manually release the pressure and remove the lid
  • Allow the egg bites to cool down for at least 5 minutes before remoting from the Instant Pot
  • Once the egg bites have cooled, remove them from the molds and enjoy!
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days

Stovetop Instructions

  • Cook bacon on the stovetop until fully cooked, but not too crispy
  • Blend eggs, milk, cream cheese and salt in a high speed blender until thoroughly combined - be sure the cream cheese is fully mixed in
  • Take a metal trivet (mine came with the egg bite mold) and place the silicone egg bite mold on the trivet
  • Spray the egg bite mold with oil so that the bites do not stick
  • Place a few pieces of chopped bacon and some shredded gruyere cheese into each egg cup
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly into all 7 egg cups on top of the bacon and cheese
  • Pour 2 cups of water into a large stock pot or dutch oven and slowly lower the filled egg bites into the pot on the trivet
  • Turn the stove heat to high and bring the water to a boil - this will take about 3 minutes
  • Cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the egg bites to steam for 12 minutes
  • Remove the lid and move the pot off the heat
  • Once the egg bites have cooled, remove them from the molds and enjoy!
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days

Notes

  • This recipe does not work well with coconut milk or coconut cream. The egg bites will be greasy and too soft.
  • Use 1 cup of liquid egg whites in place of the eggs
  • Use 3/4 cup full fat cottage cheese in place of the cream cheese
