Equipment

  • 1 Pressure Cooker
  • 1 Silicone Egg Mold with 7 Compartments

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/3 cup pepper jack cheese
  • pinch sea salt
  • pinch ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp green onion chopped
  • 2 tbsp red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil extra virgin

Instructions
 

  • Grate the pepperjack cheese. Place the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and grated pepperjack cheese in a blender.
  • Cover and blend the egg mixture until it's bubbly and smooth.
  • Brush each compartment of a silicone egg mold with olive oil. Chop the red bell pepper and green onion into small pieces, and divide it into the compartments of the mold.
  • Pour the egg mixture into each compartment of the mold ensuring you don't fill each more than ¾s full.
  • Pour a cup of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot. Place the silicone mold onto a wire trivet and lower that into the Instant Pot. Cover mold with some aluminum foil or a heat safe lid.
  • Cook the eggs for 8 minutes on the Steam setting of your Instant Pot, or use the manual setting on High Pressure for 8 minutes.
  • Let the Instant Pot sit and perform a natural release for 5 minutes after it's done cooking, and then perform a Quick Pressure Release to release any remaining pressure. Open the lid and remove the mold.
  • Let the eggs sit for about 5 minutes, and then turn the silicone mold upside down to gently release the egg bites from the mold. Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate and save them for later!
