How to make Instant Pot egg bites?
To make Instant Pot egg bites, you will need a silicone egg mold. You can find these near where pressure cookers are sold or online.
Besides the pressure cooker and the silicone mold, the only other equipment you need is a blender or food processor to incorporate the cream cheese and all of your ingredients.
- Blend a mixture of egg, cheese and seasoning. Add you favorite egg bite filling components, like bacon, sausage, fresh herbs, diced mushrooms. The pour your egg mixture into the mold.
- Remember to add around 1 cup of water to the liner of the Instant Pot. The pressure cooker will heat up this water under pressure and allow the egg bites to cook by the hot steam created.

HOW MUCH IS ONE EGG BITE? I AM CONFUSED, THANKS IN ADVANCE.
The recipe here for the Keto Egg Bites is 0.4 carbs each.
If you buy the ones at Starbucks, those are 9 carbs for the serving that contains two bite. So if you were to eat two of your homemade keto egg bites, it would be .8 carbs, which in the Carb Manager app, it rounds up to one carb.
Yes, I’d also like to know if the net carb count is for each individual bite or for the full 7.
For the individual egg bite
The recipe here for the Keto Egg Bites is 0.4 carbs each.
If you eat all seven of the homemade keto eggs bites it is 2.8 carbs or rounding up on an app, 3 carbs. Take into consideration that what you fill them with could alter the carb total. Based on the recipe as provided, it is 0.4 carbs per bite.
Is the steam function under “low pressure” or “high pressure” when you press it? I changed mine previous for a recipe and I can’t remember which one was the default…thanks!
It should just be a button. If your instant pot doesn’t have it, you might be able to cook them under a low pressure.
I don’t want to melt the snap on lid for the egg bite mold. It won’t melt using the steam mode for Instant Pot?
Thanks
It shouldn’t melt in steam mode, but if you are worried about it, just wrap with foil
Can the cottage cheese be substituted with more cream or shredded cheese?
I haven’t tried that but I feel like it would work.

God bless you with the desires of your heart!
I love Annie’s keto focus recipes. These egg bites did not disappoint. My Instant Pot Duo Gourmet does not have a Steam function button. I used Low Pressure for 20 minutes and they came out great. After they started to cook, I read that you can used the Sauté button with the glass lid for the desired time to mimic the steam function. My only other comment is that I made this with 5 eggs according to the recipe and it more than fill both egg molds making a total of 12 bites. I added bacon and cheese to one, and just bacon to the second one. I think I like the one without the grated cheese more so. They were less salty. Maybe you can omit the salt if making with cheese since there is salt in the cheese. Thanks again for the recipe! It’s a keeper. Hope these comments help.
