Tips For Making This Recipe
Make a Double Batch
Feel free to double the recipe and use two silicone molds! Close each mold with its lid, stack the molds in a staggered position, and increase the cooking time to 10 minutes!
Avoid Soggy Egg Bites
Always cover the silicone mold with a lid or foil. If you skip it, condensation can drip into the egg bites and make them soggy.
Release the Pressure Immediately
Once the pressure cooking cycle is done, release the pressure immediately to avoid overcooking the egg bites in Instant Pot. No one wants rubbery egg bites!
