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

FAQs

Can you stack egg bite molds in instant pot? ›

Any of the similarly-shaped brands will work well. I prefer to use one mold at a time, since the egg bites tend to come out more evenly cooked and more nicely shaped that way. But you can also double the recipe and stack two molds on top of each other.

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.

Why are my egg bites soggy? 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.

Here's how to avoid that: Fill a rimmed baking sheet with roughly 1/4-inch of water and then place the muffin pan directly in the pan of water. Carefully transfer the stacked pans to the oven. This cooking method will prevent your egg bites from puffing up too much, and then shriveling after they are cooked.

The best part of this method is you can cook up to 18 eggs at a time in the Instant Pot with just one cup of water! Feel free to stack them on top of each other, it won't hurt a thing. To peel your eggs, simply roll them on the counter until a small crack forms, then peel.

I've found that 12 eggs fit perfectly on the metal rack at the bottom of your Instant Pot, but if you decide to cook more than 12 eggs at a time, I highly suggest getting this steamer basket. I have this exact one and it works great! The steamer basket also makes transferring the eggs to the ice bath super easy too!

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.

Cornstarch: It binds the proteins together and absorbs the excess moisture from the veggies. Cornstarch also helps keep the custard in the egg bites from curdling and ensures you end up with a silky smooth texture! Kosher salt: You'll want to play around with the amount of kosher salt depending on the mix-ins you add.

Scrambled eggs are cooked over lower heat and stirred slowly. This lower heat, slower process keeps the eggs fluffy and soft. Beat in a bit of water or milk (1 Tablespoon liquid per egg), pour the egg into a heated pan, let it SIT for a minute or two and then gently fold it over as it cooks.

Should I freeze or refrigerate egg bites? ›

These egg bites keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for a quick on-the-go breakfast! You can also freeze them. If you want to keep the egg bites around for more than a few days, I recommend freezing them.

To keep your egg bites from gluing themselves to the muffin tin, you want to keep them from ever making contact with the tin at all. To achieve this separation, you'll just need to pop a foil muffin or cupcake liner into each well of your muffin tin.

Egg-based recipes are notorious for sticking to metal muffin tins, even after giving them a thorough coating of cooking spray. Ask me how I know. That said, I HIGHLY recommend you use a silicone baking pan for this recipe. They're dishwasher safe and I can't think of a single food that would stick to it.

If your egg cups are deflating a bit when you take them out of the oven, don't worry. This is super normal. The air bubbles in the mixture expand in the oven and then deflate as they cool.

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.

Double Decker Dinner is a personal favorite Instant Pot recipe theme, all about finding the right combination of foods that pair together as a balanced meal and that can be stacked and cooked at the same time in the same pressure cooker. It's one-pot wonderful!

For even cooking stack your chicken breasts on top of each other cross ways. Or if possible lay the chicken in one even layer on the trivet. If you don't have a trivet you can lay your chicken directly in the bottom of the pot with the liquid. Lots of liquid releases from chicken.
