Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, grated or cubed
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon grape juice (natural)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs such as parsley or chives (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Egg Mixture: Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), grape juice (natural), salt, and pepper. Gently fold in the natural gelling agent to create a custard-like consistency.
- Add Fillings: Fold chopped smoked turkey bacon, plant-based cheese, and any optional vegetables or fresh herbs into the egg mixture evenly, ensuring every bite has flavor.
- Prepare the Containers: Lightly grease silicone molds or small ramekins to prevent sticking. Pour the egg mixture into each container, filling about 3/4 full to allow for expansion during cooking.
- Set Up the Instant Pot: Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot and place the trivet inside. Stack the filled molds or ramekins on the trivet, making sure none touch the water.
- Cook the Egg Bites: Seal the Instant Pot lid and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. After cooking, allow a natural pressure release for 5 minutes before carefully removing the molds.
- Cool and Serve: Let the egg bites cool for a few minutes, then gently remove them from the molds. Serve warm or pack for breakfast on the go.
Notes
- Use silicone molds for easier removal and faster cleanup.
- Fill containers 3/4 full to prevent spillage during cooking.
- Add the natural gelling agent last for the best texture.
- Sauté smoked turkey bacon before mixing to enhance flavor.
- Test one egg bite first to perfect cooking time before making a full batch.
