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
- 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.
- Prepare the Molds: Lightly grease silicone egg bite molds or small ramekins to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Fill the Molds: Pour the egg mixture evenly into each mold, filling about three-quarters full to allow room for puffing without spilling.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
