Instant Pot Starbucks Egg Bites

Instant Pot Starbucks Egg Bites

These egg bites are a fast and easy breakfast that are perfect to make ahead of time. These egg bites are super similar to Starbucks sous vide egg bites. They are smooth and creamy. If you like a little texture in your egg bites try this other Instant Pot egg bite recipe.

  • This is a low carb (keto friendly) breakfast idea! Egg bites are great for an afternoon snack too. Filling, but not overfilling. Each egg bite has 88 calories, 1.6 grams of carbs and 7 grams of protein. You’ll probably eat at least two in one sitting.
  • Mix-in ideas: kale, chopped mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, spoonful of salsa, bacon, cheese, green onions, tomatoes, ham, bacon, sausage or spinach.
  • Leave out the mix-ins if you prefer (that’s what I did). Instead I just serve mine with a little salsa or hot sauce. If you like more texture then add in mix ins and don’t blend the cheese.
  • I used my 6 quart Instant Pot *. But you can also use an 8 quart pot.
  • Cover your egg bites with foil before cooking to make sure that the condensation on the lid doesn’t drip onto your egg bites. If your egg molds came with a plastic lid, they are for storage and can’t be used for cooking. If the egg mold lid is silicone, you should be able to use it when cooking, but be sure to check with your manufacturer instructions first.
  • If your egg bites are still runny, put them back in the Instant Pot for a couple of minutes longer. Sometimes when cooking two pans of egg bites one pan comes out done and the other doesn’t. Don’t fret. Just add the pan that is not done back into the Instant Pot for a couple more minutes.
  • The more mix-ins you use the longer the egg bites will take to set. A lot of moisture releasing mix-ins like tomatoes or mushrooms will add too much moisture and make them not set.

Equipment needed to make Instant Pot Starbucks Egg Bites:

  • 6 or 8 quart Instant Pot*
  • Silicone egg bite molds*
  • Sling/Trivet*
  • Foil or silicone lids to cover your egg bites

How to store and reheat egg bites:

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Microwave for 30 seconds when ready to eat. You can also freeze egg bites. To reheat from frozen wrap an egg bite in a paper towel or napkin and microwave for 60-90 seconds.

Description

Protein packed egg bites with a velvety smooth texture like the kind you order at Starbucks (but for a fraction of the price)


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • Any mix ins you like: basil, chopped tomatoes, diced ham, bacon bits etc.

Instructions

  1. Add eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt and salt to a blender. Blend for 30 seconds.
  2. Spray two silicone egg molds* with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Fill each cup ¾ full. If you want to add in any mix-ins drop them evenly into each cup. 
  4. Cover each mold with foil. Stack the molds on a trivet/sling* in an off-set manner so that the cups are not directly on top of each other. 
  5. Pour 1 ½ cups water into bottom of Instant Pot. Drop the sling into the pot.
  6. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the STEAM button to 12 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 8-10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid. 
  7. Remove the sling from the pot. Remove the foil from the pans. Invert the molds onto a plate and pop out the egg bites. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Microwave for 30 seconds when ready to eat. 

Notes

This recipe makes enough to fill two egg bite molds. If you don’t have 2 molds then use halve the recipe and pressure cook for 8 minutes with a 10 minute natural pressure release.

If you want a completely creamy consistency add the cheese into the blender. If you’d rather have more texture then add the cheese in after you have blended the eggs. 

You can freeze egg bites. To reheat: wrap an egg bite in a paper towel or napkin and microwave for 60-90 seconds.

    Wonderful. I used 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Added diced ham, 2 red mini peppers and 2 mushrooms. Turned the bites onto a paper towel lined plate to absorb the extra moisture.

    Update, I have cooked the egg bites on the sterilization button on low pressure and received the same results as the steam function! High pressure overcooked the egg bites and made them tough. So happy I have a backup should my other IP with the steam function decide to stop working. Thank you Karen for your help in my previous posts.

    I have a dilemma. I picked up a second 6qt IP and it does not have a steam function. I believe steam works with low pressure. Would I set the manual button for the same time on low pressure to mimic the steam button? Any other suggestions?

      I would just use the pressure cook button on high. Steam button just brings the pot to pressure at full blast because it assumes there is just water or thin liquid in the pot with the food on a trivet and there is no risk of burn signal.

        Would you keep it at 13 minutes though? I think your other egg bites recipe is less time.

            Ok, I will try. I have one more question. I apologize for all the questions but you are so knowledgeable and always willing to share and it’s greatly appreciated. I do have a sterilization function. Do you think this will act the same way as the steam function in cooking the egg bites? Thank you Karen.

            I think that might work but I am not 100% sure!

    My instant pot does not have a steam function. Can I make this as directed using the pressure cook function on low?

      You can just use the pressure cook function on high. Should be great.

    Is there a way to do this recipe with liquid egg whites? I am keeping an eye on cholesterol.
    Thank you!

      Yes I’m sure there is. I haven’t tried it myself so I’m not sure of the conversions etc. I would play around with it and maybe just try one pan at a time to see how it goes.

    Karen, thanks for the timely reminder re egg bites! Perfect protein for my ever hungry high school lad (and we adults will swipe ’em too 😉). Like the idea of using the yogurt we always have on hand. Kale idea’s great too – have some bagged & frozen. Cheers

    I have ricotta on hand more than I have cottage cheese. Would ricotta work in this recipe as a substitute for cottage cheese?
