Equipment

  • Pressure Cooker - 6 quart+
  • Egg bites mold(s)
  • Trivet with handles
  • blender

Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • ¾ cup cottage cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 strips bacon cooked crisp
  • 1 cup gruyere cheese

Instructions

  • Crack 8 eggs directly into your blender, add the cottage cheese, cheese, salt, and pepper.
  • Blend on high for about 10 seconds or until the mixture is smooth, and fully blended. Turn off blender, and set mixture aside.
  • Grease the egg bite mold with melted butter, ghee, or nonstick spray. This will ensure the egg bites pop out perfectly.
  • Add 1 1/2 cups of cold water to the bottom of your pressure cooker. Place the trivet in the center of your pot.
  • Sprinkle a small amount of bacon into each egg bite space. Two cooked, crisp strips, crumbled per batch is perfect.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the bacon so that 3/4 of the mold is filled with mixture.
  • Add the egg bite lid to the mold, or wrap the top of the egg bite mold with aluminium foil.
  • Next, seal the cover according to your pressure cooker’s instructions.
  • Once sealed, press the “manual” button then press “+/-” until it reads 10 minutes. Then hit “start”. If your machine doesn’t have this button, use the meat button.
  • When the timer is up, let the pressure release naturally until lid unlocks.
  • With oven mitts, carefully remove the egg bite pan from the pressure cooker and allow it to cool on a safe surface for 5 minutes before gently removing the bites. These should pop out with ease.
