Tips About Making Egg Bites in Instant Pot

This Instant Pot egg bites recipe is foolproof, but you might like these additional tips:

• Want to make these egg bites for a crowd? You can easily use this recipe to make a double batch! Just stack two molds and use the same cooking time. 
• To save on prep time, stir the add-ins into the egg mixture instead of doing the additional step of distributing the fillings to the silicone mold cups before pouring the egg mixture. 
• The egg bites mold cups are quite small, and the egg bites will rise during cooking. Therefore, avoid using too much filling in the egg mixture, and don’t overfill the mold cups. 

How To Store Egg Bites

You can store leftovers or make these pressure cooker egg bites as delicious make-ahead breakfast. 

• Fridge: Transfer the cooled egg bites to an airtight container. Store them in the fridge for up to 3 days for the best experience.
• Freezer: You can store these egg bites in a freezer-safe container for longer storage in the freezer. I suggest using them within 2 months. 
• Reheating: The easiest way to reheat the leftover egg bites without running their fluffy texture is in the microwave for around 60 seconds at 50% power.

Why Are My Egg Bites Soggy?

If your Instant Pot egg bites turn out soggy, it’s probably from the condensation during cooking. This is why it’s crucial to cover the silicone molds with their lids, or if your egg bites molds don’t come with lids, just cover the mold with aluminum foil. 

How Do You Use a Silicone Egg Holder in an Instant Pot?

Did you know that there’s an Instant Pot accessory that can make boiling eggs even easier? 

Just pour water into the Instant Pot and place the silicone egg rack inside. Then, arrange the eggs on top of the rack, and secure the lid. 

Set the pressure release to Sealing, use the Steam setting, and cook the eggs at high pressure for 5 minutes.

But if you want an even easier way to make perfectly boiled eggs, you only need an air fryer. I’m sure you already own an air fryer, but have you ever tried making air fryer soft-boiled eggs?
