Ingredients

  • 4 slices Smithfield® Bacon
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup Gouda cheese * shredded ( I use smoked Gouda)
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese * whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter * melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until done, but still pliable.
  • Break each slice of bacon into 2-3 pieces and place evenly inside each well of an egg bites mold.
  • In a blender cup add the eggs, gouda cheese, cottage cheese, melted butter, and salt. Blend until smooth, about 20-30 seconds.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly into all of the egg bites wells, leaving a small amount of space at the top of each one.
  • Cover the mold with a paper towel, then tightly wrap in foil.
  • Place the mold onto the trivet inside of an Instant Pot or pressure cooker along with 1 cup of water.
  • Set to pressure cook for 8 minutes.
  • Allow the pressure cooker to do a natural release for 10 minutes, then carefully remove the egg bites mold.
  • Uncover the mold and allow to cool a few minutes before carefully popping out the egg bites.

Notes

Tips and Techniques for the Best Instant Pot Egg Bites

  • If you don’t care for Gouda or would just like to change up the flavor, you can swap in another flavor of cheese. Cheddar and Gruyere are great options.
  • Try to cook your bacon so that it’s done, but still pliable. If your bacon ends up crispy, simply crumble it instead of wrapping it around the inside of the egg bites mold.
  • Store leftover egg bites in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Use within 4 days.
