Hopefully that helps clear up any confusion over the names / cooking methods :)

How to store your healthy Starbucks red pepper egg bites:
I try not to keep cooked eggs hanging around in my refrigerator for more than 3-4 days. I like to make large batches of these healthy Starbucks red pepper egg bites and freeze them. Then I can just pop them out when I need them and be on my way. I know that they’ll stay fresh and tasty and there’s no worry that they’ll spoil.
Some readers have reported good luck with keeping them in the fridge for the week but it’s truly up to you on how you handle that! Just know that freezing them won’t ruin the texture or the consistency!
Can I make these healthy Starbucks red pepper egg bites in the Instant Pot?
Be sure you don’t skip out on greasing the molds. That NEEDS to be done for them to pop out properly.
1) Grease the silicone egg bite molds with the oil so that the egg bites do not stick in the container.
2) Next fill each cup of the silicone mold half way full of green onions, turkey bacon, and bell peppers.
3) In a blender mix together the egg, cheese, Greek yogurt, and cottage cheese. Blend for 30 seconds.
4) Pour the egg mixture in the silicone mold. Fill each cup to about 1/4 below the brim. Cover with foil.
5) Add 1 cup of water the bottom of the Instant Pot insert. Place a trivet on the bottom them stack both trays of egg bites on top of the trivet. Place the top tray slightly offset so that the cups are not directly on top of each other.
6) Close the lid and turn the pressure valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure using the “Steam” function for 8 minutes. Let the pressure naturally release.
7) Turn off the Instant Pot and remove the egg bites from the Instant Pot.
8) Take off the foil and flip the egg bites upside to cool and remove from the silicone tray. Serve warm or store in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to a month and reheated in the microwave for a minute.
How about the oven? Can these egg bites be baked in the oven?
1) Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.
2) Grease a mini muffin pan with the oil.
3) Fill each muffin cup with the green onions, bell peppers, and turkey bacon.
4) Blend together the eggs, cheese, Greek yogurt, and cottage cheese for 30 seconds then fill the muffin cups with the egg mixture. Cover with foil.
5) Place a baking tray full of water on the bottom rack of the oven. Then place the egg bites in the oven on the top rack.
6) Cook the egg bites for 20 minutes then remove and let the egg bites cool for at least 5 minutes before removing from the pan. Be careful opening the oven, there will be lots of steam. Enjoy!
