8 Ways to Use Your Silicone Egg Bites Mold

If you ordered an egg bites silicone mold* and now are wondering what you should do with it I have a few ideas for you! Do you have other ideas? I’d love to hear! Comment below!

#5: Brownie Bites (like the middle piece in a pan of brownies)

Do you like the gooey, no crust piece in a pan of brownies? You will like Instant Pot brownie bites!!! You can use a brownie mix to make Instant Pot Brownie Bites. Follow the directions on the box to make the brownie batter. Then spray 2 egg bites molds with a bit of nonstick cooking spray. Fill each mold about ⅔ full. Cover each mold with a paper towel and then cover with foil. Stack the molds on top of each other and place on a trivet with handles. Pour 1 cup of water into your Instant Pot (1.5 cups for 8 quart). Lower the trivet into your Instant Pot. Cover the pot and lock the lid into place. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 25 minutes (for warm and gooey brownie bites) or 30 minutes (for more set brownies). When the time is up let the pot sit for 10 minutes and then move the valve to venting. Remove the lid. Remove the pans from the pot. Uncover. Let cool for 10 or more minutes then turn the mold over onto a plate. Eat and enjoy!

#6: Corndog Bites

These mini little corn dog bites are easy to make, quick to cook without turning the oven on and the perfect size for little hands. I haven’t made these myself yet but look how cute they are! Try out the recipe from Flour on My Face.

Instant Pot Corn Dog Bites served on a teal glass plate with a cup of ketchup and sliced strawberries for a summer time lunch.

#7: Pancake Bites

Make these fluffy Instant Pot pancake bites for your next family breakfast! They’re so easy and quick to make, and they’re really fun to eat! Bite-size pancakes with different flavors, blueberry, chocolate chip, the possibilities are endless! Try out the recipe from Little Sunny Kitchen.

    I would like to make these egg bites but the Amazon reviews often mention the problem of silicone retaining the odors of the previous usage. Including the fragrance of the DISH WASHING SOAP. Could you or your readers comment on this. True / Untrue ?

    I’ve made these in the oven, but I’m sure the mini meatloaves would work this way as well – make them “cheese stuffed” by putting a piece of your favorite cheese in the middle before baking! I made cheese-stuffed meatballs by cutting pieces of string cheese (which is mozzarella, after all!) into “cubes” and wrapping each with my meatball mix. You probably use cheddar, American, or even Velveeta for your cheese cube to vary the flavor!

    I tried cake batter in the egg bite molds. Although the cake bites were moist and soft, they were a little dense and didn’t puff up like a cake would in a oven. Is there something different I can do?

    Reply
    • Karen says

      May 6, 2021 at 1:19 pm

      I don’t think so. It’s a moist heat that is cooking the cake so it won’t be like the dry heat method that an oven has.

      I make a corndog recipe in the oven with mini muffin cups and lil’ smokies – These always turn out great, nothing special but a box of jiffy mix and smokies – I could see how this recipe could be better because the corn mix seems to dry out in the oven as to this method it would be moist.

      You can get one of those sprayers for oil and use light tasting olive oil which is a healthier option than than the regular spray that you buy at the store.

      Get a teardrop shaped makeup sponge (they’re all the rage now and come in lots of shapes and sizes) and dip the round end into whatever oil you want to use. Easily smear it into the little cups 😃 No need to clean it, just store in a snack bag or small storage container in the fridge for dedicated use. I don’t even wear makeup but my daughter does and I was fascinated by this nifty new tool. It really works.

    Thanks for another year of making meals SO much easier! You’re a light that’s helped brighten 2020!

    PS: back on thread topic…
    The egg bite mould is GREAT for freezing portions of leftover cream. Each ‘egg’ cup did a fine job of holding 1/4 cup measures of heavy cream left after Xmas baking. Unlike with ice cubes trays, these pop out perfectly from the egg bite mould. 🙂

    Cheers!

    Do you have a recipe for making potato salad in the instant pot. I saw a recipe that cooked the potatoes on the bottom of the pot and then cooked the eggs in the egg mold on top of them. No peeling of eggs…just drop them all in the bowl after cooking, but now I can’t find the recipe. Do you know how to do it?

          Yes I believe that would work well! My egg bites can hold about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of liquid. So as long as yours do the same the recipe times should be the same. If they hold less than that you could probably decrease cooking time a bit.

    I’m wondering if you use two molds, cover with foil and do not have a rack to separate them, dosen’t the top mold sink into the bottom mold creating an indentation on the finished product?

    Thanks again for all your recipes! I enjoy them sooo very much. Because I found your site I’m very comfortable with using the instant pot.

    Tried the Churro bites. I read the other reviews and did mine for 15. Min. with a natural release and they came out perfect. They were good but next time I think I will add some vanilla just for a little more flavor. Fun to do though and I am thinking of trying the egg bites next. I doubled the recipe and had leftovers for the next day. Warmed them for a few seconds in the microwave and good as new.

Hi, I’m Karen. I know that dinner time can be less than relaxing. Busy schedules and cranky kids and a hundred other things can lead to weariness when it comes to putting dinner on the table. I can help! I make homemade, family-friendly slow cooker and Instant Pot dinners and share the recipes with you.
