Instant Pot Egg Bites Sous Vide Starbucks Style

Published:  08/15/2018

Instant Pot Egg Bites Sous Vide Like Starbucks

The Instant Pot method creates perfectly tender egg bites that taste just like Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites. Feel free to experiment with the ingredients. I always use eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, onion and red pepper but sometimes add spinach, cooked bacon, bacon slice, ham or broccoli if I happen to have these.

Sous Vide Egg Bites can be part of a healthy breakfast or snack.

These keep well in the refrigerator or can be frozen so I always make two batches since I have the blender and the Instant Pot out anyway. I have to admit, they aren't as good reheated from frozen. (microwave about 50 seconds for one egg.) They lose some moisture and the texture is different. But I like to use them in the Sous Vide Egg Quesadilla recipe below for a delicious breakfast.

Let me know what you think or let me know what your favorite ingredient combination is!

  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup Monterey Jack, Swiss, Smoked Gouda, Pepper Jack  or Sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup 2% cottage cheese
  • 1 green onion chopped, I think this is a must add ingredient
  • ½ roasted red, yellow or orange pepper chopped or ¼ cup spinach chopped or 1/4 cup broccoli, chopped in small pieces optional or 3 Tbsp chopped sun dried tomatoes
  • Optional, freshly cooked, crumbled bacon OR 4 thin bacon slices, cooked, then cut each piece into thirds
  • Optional, 2 slices natural (no preservative) oven roasted ham, chopped into bite size

INSTRUCTIONS

Add 1 cup water to Instant Pot and place the wire rack that came with your Instant Pot inside.

Add eggs, cheese and cottage cheese to a blender and process until smooth (about 30 seconds). Add green onion, pepper and spinach and give it a quick pulse to combine.

If using bacon, add bacon pieces to bottom of silicone molds or if using sliced bacon, place two cut pieces into the bottom of each silicone cup. Divide the egg mixture evenly between the compartments of the silicone mold, tightly cover with aluminum foil.

Place the silicone mold into the Instant Pot.

Put the lid on the Instant Pot and set the vent to sealing. Press the STEAM button and set the timer to 10 minutes. It takes about 5 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to full pressure, then the display will show a countdown timer.

Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, and then release any remaining pressure before opening the Instant Pot.

Remove the silicone mold from the Instant Pot, remove the foil and remove the egg bites from the mold onto a plate. Blot with paper towel if too moist.
