I'm about to help you save So. Much. Money. Orrrrr... is that just me that keeps finding myself in the Starbucks drive-through ordering coffee + egg bites and accruing a whopping $10.00 tab??? For me, it's not just about saving money anymore, the situation has escalated to the point that the focus has now become keeping the marital peace. In fairness, $10.00 is waaaaaaaaaaay nuts for a breakfast run. Do it several times a week and well.. as Joe likes to point out, it adds up.

I've shared here before the mornings are really hectic around here.. in fact, I'm going to lay it out there. I hate them. It is my absolute least favorite time of day. You've got me (not a morning person) struggling to KINDLY and CONSTRUCTIVELY motivate my children (also not morning people) in such a way that therapy won't be required for anybody involved in the future. #parentinggoalz 

Quick grab n' go breakfast options ready and prepped for the kids... ✔️

Quick grab n' go breakfast options that work well for me on low-carb days, well... I struggle.

When I don't have time to scramble eggs or cook some bacon (which is pretty much always) I end up in the drive through ordering my standard almond milk latte + egg white bites. The Starbucks app (obviously a conspiracy between Chase Bank and my husband) doesn't do me any favors with all it's "alerts" and "coffee points" and "balance notices."

All that to say, as always.. here on Simply Sissom I share what I actually cook in my kitchen. This week, I tackled Copycat Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites via the Instant Pot. You guys, they turned out really, really, really, tasty AND since they are make-ahead and freezer-friendly, I've got egg bites for days and days!

Want to learn how to make this happen in your fridge (or freezer)?

Let's do it.

What Are "Sous Vide" Instant Pot Egg Bites?

Instant Pot Egg Bites are a FANTASTIC low-carb breakfast option.  The mixture of eggs + shredded cheese gives them a creamy texture and the cottage cheese adds a yummy tang to the equation. Starbucks uses a "Sous Vide" method to prepare their eggs, but I found that the same consistency can be achieved using your Instant Pot.

What Tools Do I Need To Make Instant Pot Egg Bites?

• Instant Pot  - If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can make these bites in the oven. See below for details.
• Blendtec Blender - For creamy smoothies and smooth egg bites, this one works great!
• Silicone Egg Bite Mold - This one worked perfectly for me!
• Trivet - I used the one that came with my Instant Pot.

How To Make Copycat Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites in the Instant Pot:

First: Add the eggs, shredded cheese and cottage cheese to a blender. Season with salt and pepper. Blend for 30 seconds or until fully combined.

Next: Toss in any "mix-ins." You can use whatever you like. Red peppers, bacon and ham are a few of my favorites.

Then: Carefully pour the egg mixture into the silicone egg bite mold. Cook the eggs on steam mode for 10 minutes in the Instant Pot. Perform a natural release for 10 minutes, and then release any remaining pressure. Allow egg bites to cool and then serve.

FAQ's About Instant Pot Egg Bites:

Can You Make Instant Pot Egg Bites Ahead?

Yep! It's one of my favorite things about them! I like to make a batch on Sunday evening and serve them as a quick grab n' go breakfast option throughout the week. To heat, just pop them straight from the fridge into the microwave for about 25-30 seconds.

Are Instant Pot Egg Bites Freezable?

Yes! To freeze, arrange cooked and cooled egg bites onto a baking sheet and place in the freezer for 2-3 hours. Once egg bites are frozen, place them in an airtight Ziplock freezer bag. To thaw, place the egg bites into the fridge overnight and heat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.

Can I Make Egg Bites in The Oven?

If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can still make Egg bites using your oven. Once the egg mixture has been poured into the silicone mold, place the mold onto a baking sheet (for stability) and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes, or until eggs are set.

Can I Stack 2 Molds On Top Of One Another And Make Double The Egg Bites?

You can! Just place a loose piece of aluminum foil between the 2 so that they eggs don't stick to each other when they rise above the rim of the mold.

Why Do You Have To Blend The Eggs and Cheese When Making Instant Pot Egg Bites? 

Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites are "light and springy." To achieve this texture it is necessary to add air to the egg mixture by using the blender.

Instructions

Bacon and Gruyere Directions:

1. To a blender, add eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, salt and pepper. Blend for 30 seconds or until fully combined. Once blended, add in the bacon and pulse blender 3x. Divide egg mixture evenly between the cups of the silicone egg bite mold.
2. Place the trivet into the base of the Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water. Place the silicone mold filled with egg mixture onto the trivet. If you have a 6 quart Instant Pot it will be a tight squeeze, but should fit perfectly. An 8 quart Instant Pot is a little easier to work with. Select "steam" mode and set the timer for 10 minutes. The Instant Pot will take 5-10 minutes to come to pressure. Once eggs have cooked for 10 minutes, allow the Instant Pot to release naturally for 10 additional minutes before manually releasing the remaining pressure.
3. Allow egg bites to cool for 5 minutes and then serve immediately, store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

Egg White and Red Pepper Ingredients:

1. To a blender, add egg whites, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, salt and pepper. Blend for 30 seconds or until fully combined. Once blended, add in the peppers and spinach and pulse blender 3x. Divide egg mixture evenly between the cups of the silicone egg bite mold.
