Instant Pot Egg Bites – The Wooden Skillet Way

Introduction

Instant Pot Egg Bites are the breakfast solution that checks every box: protein-packed, endlessly customizable, luxuriously creamy, and ultra-convenient for busy mornings. Their velvety, soufflé-like texture and vibrant mix-ins make each bite memorable, offering the crave-worthy appeal of your favorite coffeehouse treat at a fraction of the price.

Whether you’re meal prepping for the week or making a quick brunch centerpiece, this recipe is a must-try for its unbeatable combination of flavor, nutrition, and simplicity.

The Secret to Fluffy, Creamy Egg Bites Every Time

Unlike standard oven-baked eggs, these Instant Pot Egg Bites are gently cooked under pressure, yielding a tender and custardy result that’s never rubbery. The steam environment locks in moisture and flavor while allowing for countless additions: think sautéed peppers, melty cheeses, fresh herbs, or even a dash of hot sauce.

Both the beginner and the seasoned home cook will appreciate the ease of popping ingredients into the blender, pouring them into molds, and letting the Instant Pot take care of the rest.

Essential Prep for the Best Egg Bites

Before assembling your egg bite base, prepping your add-ins saves time and boosts flavor. Use the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to quickly dice your favorite veggies—think onions, bell peppers, or spinach—for evenly sized, perfect morsels in every bite.

Want an ultra-smooth custard? Blend your eggs, milk or cottage cheese, and cheese using the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender for a perfectly creamy base.

Line your Instant Pot trivet or egg mold with a strip from the Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll if your molds tend to stick, making unmolding (and cleanup) effortless.

Assembling and Cooking Your Instant Pot Egg Bites

Pour your blended egg mixture over your chosen fillings in the molds. For even portioning and a mess-free process, a large measuring cup or squeeze bottle is ideal. Carefully place the filled molds onto the trivet, add a cup of water to the Instant Pot insert, then seal and set to steam.

Using an Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker, 6 Quart guarantees consistent results and the ideal temperature needed for the delicate custard texture.

After a quick natural release, your egg bites emerge hot, tender, and ready to enjoy.

How to Serve and Store for Ultimate Convenience

Egg bites are delicious straight from the pot or at room temperature, making them a winning choice for grab-and-go breakfasts or mid-afternoon snacks. Pack extras in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers for freshness all week long, or freeze them for an even longer shelf life.

Serve with fresh fruit, a side salad (try the Bentgo Salad Container for work lunches), or atop toast for a satisfying meal.
