Instant Pot Sous Vide Egg Bites
Love LOTS of cheese…us too!! Load it up my friends! This is a favorite Ninja Foodi breakfast option to make on busy mornings. With an egg mold you will be able to make all sorts of things, not just this. It is made of silicone and holds about 3 bites worth of mix so each try will feed 2-3 people each morning.
You could make these as slow cooker eggs too similarly but that takes hours and hours, who has time for that??!! If you want a vegetarian options then leave cheese out. They will still have a lot of flavor so no worries. Love breakfast for dinner….these are a great option on those days too.
These baked eggs look easy enough right?? If all you have on hand is shredded cheese and eggs then use that but these egg bites are going to go on our list of leftover ham recipe ideas since it’s after the holidays so we’re including that in our recipe.
Can you Sous Vide in a Pressure Cooker?
Kind of, I mean you are essentially steaming under high pressure but you get the same SUPER tender result. You could use a Mealthy or Crockpot Express to make this as well. I have a 6 quart model of all of them and they all work the same, really. If you have a foodi you are going to use the lid that is not attached for this one.
- Using your Ninja Foodi or IP is a hands off process – just mix the ingredients, pour into the mold, set the time and walk away
- It is a great way to make crustless quiche bites in essence without any of the good stuff sticking to the sides of the pan (silicone egg mold allows eggs to just pop right out)
- If it is summertime you don’t have to turn on your oven or stovetop so it doesn’t heat up your house
- Well….because I’m an Instant Pot obsessed mom who cooks everything in my pressure cooker.
- Super short cooking time for busy moms.
For this one, NO expensive sous vide machine is necessary. But tastes almost identical.
Ok so you aren’t actually going to sous vide eggs in one of those expensive machines. You don’t need that but with this you’ll get the same super tender texture you would with that. If you do have let’s say some sous vide frozen chicken breast left you can dice that up and add inside the mix though.
Ingredients
- Instant Pot egg mold
- Trivet – I like one with handles on the sides
- Eggs
- Plain greek yogurt
- Cheese
- Cottage cheese
- Salt and pepper too if you like
- Ham or leftover crumbled bacon in air fryer works too
- Of course you can leave the meat out and make these vegetarian too.
How to sous vide eggs in Ninja Foodi
- Add 1.5 c water to pot and lower a trivet inside.
- Scramble together in a bowl your eggs, then pour them into a blender with your cheese, yogurt and cottage cheese. Blend until smooth.
- Pour egg mixture in a bowl and add diced ham, stir together.
- Add basil to bottom of each egg hole in your mold.
- Pour egg mixture into egg molds evenly between all the holes.
- Cover entire mold with foil and make a sling out of foil so you can lower it on to your trivet.
- Close lid and steam valve and press the steam button, set timer to 9 minutes.
- Allow steam to naturally release for 10 minutes, then release rest of pressure.
- Carefully remove egg bites from molds and enjoy.
How to sous vide eggs in the oven
- Follow steps 2 & 3 below to create your sous vide egg mixture
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
- Spray non stick spray into each hole of a muffin tin
- or you could use oven safe silicone egg cups
- Pour egg mixture into each hole, no more than 3/4 of the way full (easiest way is to use a large measuring cup with a spout to pour egg mixture in)
- Top each one with a little parmesan cheese (optional but good)
- Put muffin tin into oven for 18-22 minutes or until the edges of each one are lightly browned
- Some people like their eggs very done and others prefer them looser thus the variance in time

Nevermind! Steam button – not pressure! Got it. ๐๐ผ
This is a great “treat” breakfast. I have the fortune to be able to get organic duck eggs which are somewhat larger so was able to stretch the portions to 10. The only downside was that I found them very “rich” and one was enough for most, so froze the remainder. I did find they don’t freeze well. Good recipe though.
How would you recommend storing these? Can some be put in the freezer for later?
I used bacon and gruyere cheese like starbucks and they turned out great!
OH good!! I have never had any left but I’d think you could refrigerate them for a day or two and then rewarm.
Hi any idea why mine tasted like silicone? Anyone ever have that problem?
Any ideas of what I can do to make them creamier insideโฆ Mine turned out fine but they were a little denseโฆ Not like they were over done because they werenโt but, the Starbucks egg bites I can eat because they are moist. Mine did not turn out like those. Iโve had stomach surgery and canโt eat scrambled eggs, but Iโm able to eat Starbucks egg bites. Any ideas from any of you to make them creamier??
The Starbucks one have starches in them in the ingredient list
@Bonnie, if you ever see this . . . I put 6 eggs, 1/2 c cream, 1/2 c cream cheese in the blender for basic batter. I cook in InstaPot for 8 min, natural release.
Whereโs the instructions for the oven? I donโt have a pressure cooker.
It is in the recipe, above printable card
Do they make bigger egg cups for the 6qt. instant pot?
These are amazing!!
I’ve only seen them one size
Iโm making these right now, did they stick to the silicone mold? I used some olive oil just to be safe.
They usually don’t but spraying first won’t hurt anything
I baked these tonight for a Keto meal prep, I used sour cream instead of the Greek yogurt, (didnโt have yogurt on hand) and they were amazing!! Thank you for sharing! I feel they taste just like Starbucks!!
When printing, how come the nutritional information does print as well?
I have no control over that. It is a plugin that generates the recipe card and all of that is controlled by the card itself.
