Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • 3 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup water
  • Cooking spray

Method
 

  1. Blend the eggs, cottage cheese, heavy cream, Gruyère, salt, and pepper on high for 30 seconds until completely smooth.
  2. Spray the silicone egg bite mold with cooking spray. Divide the crumbled bacon between the 7 cups, then fill each cup ¾ full with the egg mixture. Press the lid onto the mold.
  3. Add the water to the Instant Pot insert, lower the mold on the trivet into the pot, seal the lid, and pressure cook on High for 10 minutes.
  4. Natural release for 10 minutes, then quick release any remaining steam. Lift out the mold and let it sit for 2 minutes.
  5. Run a knife around each cup, flip onto a plate, and serve warm with a crack of black pepper on top.

Notes

These keep well in the fridge for 4 days, which makes them worth doubling over two back-to-back batches on a Sunday. If your cottage cheese brand is very wet, blot it briefly with a paper towel before blending to avoid watery bottoms. The mold lid is important — don't skip it or the tops will look pocked and uneven.
