Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, diced
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp grape juice (natural)
  • 1/4 tsp natural gelling agent
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: Whisk the eggs in a bowl until smooth. Stir in the chopped smoked turkey bacon, diced plant-based cheese, fresh chives, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), grape juice (natural), salt, pepper, and natural gelling agent. Combine evenly for the best texture.
  2. Prepare the Molds: Lightly grease silicone egg bite molds or small ramekins to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  3. Fill the Molds: Pour the egg mixture evenly into each mold, filling about three-quarters full to allow room for puffing without spilling.
  4. Add Water to the Instant Pot: Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot insert to create steam for gentle cooking.
  5. Steam the Egg Bites: Place a trivet or steamer rack inside the Instant Pot, set the filled molds on top, close the lid, and set the valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. Allow a natural pressure release for 5 minutes before carefully opening the lid.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove molds with tongs, let egg bites cool slightly, then gently unmold. Serve warm or refrigerate for later use. Reheat as needed.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs and high-quality smoked turkey bacon for the best flavor.
  • Do not skip the natural gelling agent to achieve the signature creamy yet firm texture.
  • Fill molds evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
  • Allow natural pressure release to prevent cracking or sinking of egg bites.
  • Add fresh herbs such as basil, parsley, or thyme for varied flavors before cooking.
