Why pay $5 for Starbuck's egg bites when you can make your own AND control the ingredients that go into them at a fraction of the cost. These creamy, little gems pack a powerful protein snack and reheat like a charm. Not only that, they take just a little over 15 minutes to make. The IP is the perfect appliance to sous vide these wonderful breakfast/brunch babies. Some other ingredients you might consider are spinach and feta, smoked salmon, gruyere and chives, green chile and cheddar, or a combination of red bell peppers and mushrooms. Any combination of meats and cheeses will work!

How To Make egg bites

  • 1
    In a small mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, pepper and milk/cream/or cottage cheese.
  • 2
    Lightly spray egg bite mold with non-stick spray. In each cell/mold sprinkle in asparagus, mushrooms, ham, cheese, and thyme leaves.
  • Make sure the silicone lid is securely attached to the mold.
    3
    Divide the egg mixture among the cells/molds. Fill a little more than 1/2 full and secure the mold with the lid.
  • 4
    Place 1 cup water in the bottom of the IP, put the trivet in the bottom to keep the egg bite mold off the bottom. Lock the lid and set manual for 8 minutes. Allow to natural release for 5 minutes, then do a quick release.
  • Like a crustless quiche or omelette, almost anything goes in egg bites. You can even mix and match the cells with whatever you like. I am particularly fond of asparagus and ham or bacon.
    5
    Remove the lid and pop out those wonderful sous vide egg bites.
