01
Step 1
Start by spraying your egg molds with some nonstick spray, then sprinkle in the crumbled bacon. In a blender, combine the shredded cheese, cottage cheese, half-and-half, eggs, and a pinch of salt. Blend everything until it’s nice and smooth. Pour the mixture evenly into the molds, filling each one about three-quarters full. Cover the molds tightly with foil, making sure the edges are sealed well.

Step 2
Pour water into the bottom of your Instant Pot or pressure cooker, place the egg molds inside, and lock the lid. Set it to the steam function and cook for 8 minutes, allowing a few minutes for the pressure to build up. Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes, then carefully finish releasing any leftover pressure with the quick-release method.

Step 3
When it’s safe to open, hold the mold over a wire rack and gently push the egg bites out. They’re perfect to eat right away, but you can also let them cool and store them in the fridge for up to a week.
