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

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.

Notes

Don’t leave out the yogurt and cottage cheese! Once blended, they become smooth, so you won’t taste the tang or notice the texture—just the creamy richness they add to the recipe.
