Instant Pot Egg Bite Mold Recipes (More Than Eggs!) (2024)

FAQs

Can you stack egg bite molds in an instant pot? ›

These Instant Pot Egg Bites are seriously perfect to meal prep for a busy work week with early start times. This recipe is easy to double. You can stack the egg bite molds on top of each other and cook at once. They turn out GREAT!

Spray the wells of the Silicone Egg Bites Mold with oil. Then, crack a cold egg into each well and cover the mold with the lid. Add 1 cup (250 mL) water to the inner pot of the Deluxe Multi Cooker and place the filled mold on the cradle within the pot. Set to STEAM for 10 minutes.

Carefully transfer the pan of water holding the muffin tin full of eggs to the center shelf of the oven, and bake at 325ºF for 40 minutes, or until the tops of the egg bites look golden. The water bath and lower temperature will prevent the eggs from puffing up, so they won't shrivel as they cool later.

They're easy to cook using a silicone mold and your Instant Pot, or electric pressure cooker. Egg bites are just what they sound like—crustless, bite-sized, quiche-like rounds of eggs, cheese, and whatever mix-ins you want.

Instant Pot Easy to Peel Hard-Boiled Eggs

Close/lock the lid & select low pressure setting (steam setting on mine was defaulted to low) and set for: 12 minutes for 6 eggs. 10 minutes for 12 eggs. 8 minutes for 24 eggs.

I routinely will put 18 in a steamer basket and into the IP they go. I have done up to 36 eggs (8qt) at a time. Just put the trivet in the bottom and stack. I have found the eggs turn out better if they dont touch the walls of the pan.

These homemade egg bites will be all puffed up and proud-looking as soon as you take them out of the oven and then the disappointment comes when you turn away for a moment and realize they have totally deflated! Booooo! Sorry folks but this is unavoidable. As the eggs heat up, air bubbles are formed and expand.

NEVER use nonstick spray of any kind on your silicone molds or Silpats. The propellants in the spray will leave a residue that will build up over time and leave a sticky residue that will have the opposite effect and everything will stick.

Egg molds have seemingly endless uses. A round one can make perfect circles that cook eggs in breakfast sandwich-ready circles—and can also be used for pancakes, biscuits, burgers, and just about any other food you want to shape.

Why are my egg bites rubbery? That happens when you overcook them. Baking them too long will dry out the eggs and lend them a rubbery texture.

Can I use paper muffin cups for egg bites? ›

Alternatively, you can use paper or silicone muffin liners to prevent sticking. You'll also need a rimmed baking sheet that the muffin pan can sit on. Divide the diced bell pepper, green onion, spinach, and feta evenly among the 12 muffin cups. They should be ⅔ to ¾ full.

If your egg bites are still collapsing despite mixing the eggs less, your oven may also be too hot for the egg, cooking it too quickly for it to rise. Try testing your oven to make sure the temperature is accurate.

A: Yes, I use my lid in the insta pot! That keeps the condensation from getting whatever you are making wet! Recipes I follow for egg bites say to use the lids and I have done so every time.

If your egg bites are wet, they are either undercooked, no cornstarch was added, or you may have included too many vegetables. Consider sauteeing veggie add-ins beforehand in order to release excess moisture. If adding tomatoes, try salting and draining them before adding them to the other ingredients.

The short answer is good news. It is generally safe to use aluminum foil in an Instant Pot, but it is important to use it properly to avoid damaging the appliance or creating a potential safety hazard.

Cover each ramekin with aluminum foil, crimping the edges. Pour the water into the Instant Pot® and insert the steam rack. If using an 8-quart Instant Pot®, place the ramekins in a single layer on the rack. If using a 6-quart Instant Pot®, place 4 ramekins on the rack and stack the fifth one on top in the center.

Stackable Instant Pot recipes: these are designed to be stacked and cooked together at the same time in the same pressure cooker! These balanced pairings all include one dish cooked in the main pot, along with another “Pot in Pot” (“PIP”) dish cooked in a secondary vessel or steamer basket.

Yes, you can definitely stack chicken in the Instant Pot. The only thing you'll need to be wary of is to make sure each piece is seasoned well before you stack them on top of one another. Otherwise, you may have unevenly seasoned chicken.
