Starbucks Copycat Egg Bites: Fire-Roasted Red Pepper & Cheese
Ingredients
4 eggs
1/2 cup cottage cheese
½ cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 green onion, thinly chopped
1/4 cup roasted red pepper, chopped
1/4 cup spinach, chopped
1/4 tsp hot sauce
1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
1 cup water
Equipment
Instant Pot
Directions
Add eggs, cottage cheese, monterey jack cheese, and salt and pepper to a blender and process until smooth. Alternatively add ingredients to a bowl and use an immersion blender to mix.
Add green onion, red pepper, and spinach and stir to combine.
Pour the mixture into the silicone egg cups, dividing equally. Make sure that the heavier ingredients are divided equally between the cups!
Cover molds with tin foil.
Add water to the Instant Pot and place trivet inside. Carefully lower mold in and set on top of trivet.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set the valve to sealing. Cook on STEAM mode for 10 minutes.
Once the time has elapsed allow a 10 minute natural release before quick releasing any remaining pressure. Do not skip this step!
Carefully remove the mold from the Instant Pot and allow the egg bites to cool for a few minutes before removing the foil and popping out the final product!
Enjoy hot or store in a sealed container (once cooled) in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
It took our 6 Quart Instant Pot Duo 6 minutes to come to pressure but this will vary depending on the model and size of your Instant Pot.
If you prefer, swap out the whole eggs for egg whites to more closely mimic the Starbucks version.
