Are Egg Bites Healthy?

These Instant Pot cheesecake bites are cooked in silicone egg bites molds, and if you’re also a fan of egg bites, their nutritional value will depend on the recipe.

The silicone mold we used for our mini cheesecakes is actually for making egg bites, which are small rounds of eggs or portable frittatas if you will. You can make them with whatever mix-ins you want, from meats, cheese, and veggies.
