Equipment
- Egg Bite Molds
- Instant Pot 6 qt
- Silicone Covers
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- ¾ cup cottage cheese
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup sun dried tomatoes no oil added, if you can find it
- ¼ cup fresh basil
Instructions
Instant Pot
- Add eggs, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, and salt to a blender. Blend ingredients together for 30 seconds. 6 eggs, 1 cup cheddar cheese, 3/4 cup cottage cheese, 3/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tsp salt
- Grease two silicone food molds with olive oil or coconut oil. Sprinkle the sun dried tomatoes and basil in the bottom of each cup. Fill each cup about 3/4 of the way full. 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes, 1/4 cup fresh basil
- Cover the silicone molds tightly with foil. Add 2 cups of water to the Instant Pot and place the trivet on the bottom of the pan. Carefully stack the molds on top of the trivet slightly offset so that the cups are not directly on top of each other.
- Cook on high pressure using the steam function for 8 minutes. Let the pressure naturally release. If it's not released after 10 minutes, go ahead and release it.
- Remove the silicone molds and let the bites cool. The sous vide eggs rise a bit while cooking, but settle as they cool. Remove the foil and pop the egg bites out of the mold.
- Store in an air tight container for up to 1 week in the refrigerator. Microwave for 30 seconds when ready to eat.
Oven
- For the oven, prepare as directed in recipe and pour into greased mini-muffin tin. Cook at 375 degrees for 20 minutes with a casserole dish of water on the shelf below. More tips are in the post above.

Notes
Healthy Eating Plans
- 21 Day Fix Container Counts for two of these amazing egg bites: 3/4 red container, 1/2 blue container - I don't count the green since it's only 1/7th of a green container.
- If you're looking to make these without using your blue container, just leave the shredded cheese out. They'll still be fluffy and rich because of the cottage cheese and Greek yogurt, but they won't be cheesy.
- Keto: Two of these bites has just under 3 grams of carbs, making it a great low carb breakfast recipe. For reference, each serving of egg bites from Starbucks has between 9-13 carbs and 7-22 grams of fat, depending on the flavors.
