These fluffy, flavorful bites are customizable with your favorite mix-ins like cheese, bacon, and vegetables. They cook to perfection in just 10 minutes using the Instant Pot.
You probably will need to do this in 2 batches because this recipe makes 12. Spray cups with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle bacon into each cup.
In a blender, add eggs, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, half and half, and a pinch of salt - process until smooth and mixed well. Pour into mold cups, filling about 2/3 full. Cover with foil or use the cover if your mold comes with one.
Place 1 cup of water into the bottom of an instant pot. Place the trivet into the pot. If your trivet does not have handles, make a foil sling by folding a long piece of foil in half. Place under the egg cups and use it to lift the pan into the pot.
Place the egg cups into the pot and (If using) tuck in the foil if it extends beyond the top of the pot. Place the lid on the pot and seal it. Close the pressure release valve.
Set the pot to steam, high pressure for 10 minutes. When the cooking cycle is complete, do a quick pressure release.
Carefully remove the mold using the trivet handles or the foil. Invert the pan onto a plate, and the cups should pop right out. If not, gently squeeze the eggs out. Repeat the process if needed to finish the ingredients if you only have one mold. Makes 12 bites.
