1cupgrated cheesecheddar, Swiss, Monterey Jack, or your choice
½cupcooked and crumbled bacon
¼cupfinely chopped fresh chives
¼cupheavy cream or milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking spray or butterfor greasing
1cupof water
Instructions
Begin by cooking the bacon until it's crispy, then crumble it. Grate your choice of cheese and finely chop the chives.
In a blender combine the eggs, heavy cream or milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Stir in the cheese, crumbled bacon, and chives.
Lightly grease the silicone egg bite molds with cooking spray or butter to ensure easy removal after cooking.
Carefully pour the egg mixture into the molds, filling each cavity almost to the top.
Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot. Place the trivet (which usually comes with the Instant Pot) inside. Carefully place the filled egg bite molds on top of the trivet.
Secure the lid of the Instant Pot, making sure the venting knob is set to the "Sealing" position. Set the Instant Pot to "Steam" mode and adjust the time to 8-10 minutes. (Cooking time can vary based on the size and specific mold you're using, so you might need to experiment to find the perfect time for your setup.)
Once the cooking cycle is complete, let the pressure naturally release for about 10 minutes, then carefully turn the venting knob to "Venting" to release any remaining pressure.
Carefully remove the egg bite molds from the Instant Pot. Allow them to cool for a few minutes, then gently pop the egg bites out of the molds.
