Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 8 minutes

Total Time: 18 minutes

Servings: 6

Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/4 cup cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 1/4 cup baby spinach, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Instructions

1. Start by lightly greasing your silicone egg bite mold with non-stick spray, ensuring the bites release easily.
2. In a blender, combine the eggs, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, milk, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
3. Fold in the diced red bell pepper and chopped spinach.
4. Pour the mixture evenly into the egg bite mold, filling each compartment about three-quarters full.
5. Cover the mold tightly with aluminum foil.
6. Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot and place the trivet inside. Carefully place the egg bite mold on the trivet.
7. Seal the lid and set the Instant Pot to ‘Steam’ mode for 8 minutes. Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural pressure release for 10 minutes before quickly releasing any remaining pressure.
8. Remove the mold from the Instant Pot, uncover, and let it cool slightly before popping the egg bites out of the mold.
9. Garnish with freshly chopped chives and serve with your favorite dipping sauces.

Helpful Tips

• Variations: Feel free to swap in other vegetables, such as mushrooms or onions, and experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or feta.
• Storage: Store leftover egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave before serving.
• Substitutions: Use almond milk or another milk alternative if you’re dairy-free. Instead of cottage cheese, Greek yogurt can be used for a different texture and taste.

Pairings
