Equipment
- Electric Pressure Cooker
- Egg Bite Mould
Ingredients
Egg Bites – Plain
- 4 Large Eggs
- 255 g /9oz Ricotta Cheese
- 115 g /4oz Gouda grated
- 2 Tsp Dried Oregano

Egg Bites – Bacon

Instructions
- Place the plain egg bite ingredients into a blender and blend until it resembles a smooth omelette batter. Pour the batter into egg bite moulds until they are 75% full. If adding an extra topping sprinkle it on top now. Secure the lid on your egg bite mould.
- Add 2 cups of water into the Instant Pot and add the trivet/steamer shelf. Place the egg bite moulds stacked over the trivet.
- Set the time to 5 minutes on pressure cook/manual. When it beeps naturally release pressure for 5 minutes.
- Remove the egg bite moulds after the additional 5 minutes natural pressure, take the lids off and place them in the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Then remove them from the mould and serve.
Notes
Filling. If adding a bacon or red pepper filling you will need to cook the filling first, remove any excess fat and place the bacon or red pepper bits into the mould before it cooks. See my notes further up for more info on this.
Cheese. We used grated gouda, but you can use any grated cheese that cooks well in frittatas, quiches etc.
