Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 100g smoked turkey bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup whole milk (plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Optional Add-ins

  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as basil, chives, or parsley), chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk (plant-based), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, pepper, and natural gelling agent until fully combined to form a smooth egg base.
  2. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: Chop the smoked turkey bacon into small pieces and lightly cook in a non-stick pan over medium heat until just crispy. Allow it to cool slightly before adding to the egg mixture.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Stir the cooked turkey bacon, plant-based cheese, and any optional fresh herbs or vegetables evenly into the egg mixture.
  4. Prepare the Molds: Lightly grease silicone egg bite molds with oil or non-stick spray. Pour the mixture into each mold, filling about three-quarters full to allow for expansion during cooking.
  5. Pressure Cook in Instant Pot: Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot’s base and place a trivet inside. Set the filled silicone molds on the trivet carefully. Seal the lid and cook on high pressure for 9 minutes followed by a natural pressure release for 10 minutes.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the molds from the Instant Pot, let the egg bites cool for a few minutes, then gently pop them out. They are ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use silicone molds to prevent sticking and ease removal.
  • Whisk the egg base thoroughly for uniform texture and fluffiness.
  • Do not overfill molds; leave room for the egg bites to rise without spilling.
  • The natural gelling agent helps achieve a perfect creamy yet firm texture without toughness.
  • Allow natural pressure release to avoid cracking or holes in the egg bites.
