These Instant Pot \/ Pressure Cooker Egg Bites are like crustless mini quiches. You\u2019ll get the flavor of the famous Starbucks sous vide egg bites, but at a fraction of the cost when you make them at home. These ham and cheese egg muffins are great to make ahead for a quick breakfast on the go!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been cooking egg muffins in the pressure cooker for years and years\u2014before they even became popularly known as egg bites<\/a> (thanks to the Starbucks sous vide egg bites). These cheesey-eggy bites are still a favorite grab-and-go breakfast at our house, so I wanted to update the recipe with more recent pictures and new directions for making these Instant Pot \/ pressure cooker egg bites using the silicone trays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Don’t have the silicone trays? No worries! Just use the recipe for egg muffins at the bottom of this post.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What I love about this recipe is that it’s more like guidelines\u2014you can change up your “muffin” to suit your tastes. In the Instant Pot Toddler Food Cookbook<\/em><\/a>, we list a number of flavor combinations from green chiles and diced tomatoes to fresh spinach, diced sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese. If you have a favorite flavor of omelette or egg scramble, you can make it in these egg bites!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making Pressure Cooker Egg Bites in an Instant Pot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
An Instant Pot is one of the most popular brands of electric pressure cookers. They are easy to use and your Instant Pot can help you create these delicious Instant Pot Egg Bites!<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The secret to making small, perfect little egg bites is a silicone baby food tray<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These flexible containers are perfect for making egg bites, mini muffins<\/a>, and cheesecake bites<\/a> in your pressure cooker. These containers come in many sizes\u2014the 8-inch tray with seven cups fits just right in a 6-quart electric pressure cooker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flexible silicone makes it easy to remove the cooked foods from the cups with a gentle push on the bottom of the cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update: <\/em>To show you how easy these egg bites are, I’ve made a fun video. I used a silicone sling<\/a> in the photos and a foil sling<\/a> in the video to show you the difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making Pressure Cooker Egg Bites without a Silicone Mold<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I was first starting with the pressure cooker, I made Egg Muffins with individual silicone molds. I liked to use the muffins to make Egg Muffin croissant sandwiches. (Or, if you have English muffins, make an Egg Muffin Muffin Sandwich!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The egg muffins reheat really well. I had one for breakfast the next day with a slice of toast, and it kept me satisfied until a late lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer to make bigger muffins filled with more veggies, try making them in glass custard cups. I plan to try that soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
