Equipment

  • Pressure Cooker
  • Egg Mold

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup diced green onion
  • 1/2 cup spinach chopped (fresh or frozen can be used)
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese
  • salt and pepper
  • parchment paper cut into 8" circle

Instructions

  • Whisk the eggs and feta cheese.
  • Add in the peppers, onions, spinach, salt, and pepper and mix to combine.
  • Spray the silicone molds with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Fill the molds with 1/4 cup of the egg mixture until each impression is filled about 3/4 of the way full.
  • Add 1 cup of water to the instant pot.  Transfer the egg mold to the wire rack in the instant pot.
  • Place an 8" round piece of parchment paper on top of the egg mold to capture condensation drops.
  • Secure the lid on the pressure cooker.  Set the pressure regulator to "sealing" mode.  Select the "Manual" program and adjust the time to 8 minutes.  If you are making a double batch, you can increase to 10 minutes.
  • The pressure cooker takes about 12 minutes to come to pressure, then 8 minutes of cooking under full pressure.
  • When the timer goes off, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, (which means don't touch it for 5 minutes).
  • After 5 minutes, quickly release the remaining pressure by adjusting the pressure regulator knob to "venting".  I always place a kitchen towel over the quick pressure release.
  • Remove the egg bites from the Instant Pot using ovenproof mitts.  Remove the parchment paper, then place a small plate over the egg mold and flip the mold and plate to remove the egg bites from the mold.
  • Serve warm
