These easy Egg Bites are an instant pot copycat version of my favorite Bacon GruyereStarbucks sous vide egg bites. Quick, easy and totally delicious.

How I created this Bacon Gruyere Egg Bites recipe

I don’t drink coffee so I’m not much of a starbucks shopper. But a friend told me I had to try their sous vide bites… and oh my gosh – melt in your mouth perfection! Now I love sous vide and I like to use mine a lot but most of the sous vide egg bite recipes use small glass mason jars and that’s a lot of dishes…

That’s when I started hearing about “cheaters” sous vide egg bites in the instant pot – you can use easy to find molds, don’t have to worry about water getting in and ruining the bites and it only takes 7 mins (of steam time, obviously you still have pressure up and down time) vs the hour they take in the sous vide bath.

So I figured I’d give it a try. I didn’t love the results the first time – I used a blender and did “pressure cook” and the texture was just off. The next time I used a food processor and just barely pulsed everything together and then used the “steam” function on my instant pot and it was SO much better!!!

The best part is you can change up the bacon for ham, the Gruyere for any other cheese and add any other spices to really have fun with these egg bites. I make 18 at a time and enjoy them for a quick, easy and filling breakfast all week!

Tips to Make the Perfect Sous Vide Egg Bites in the Instant Pot

– I like to cut my bacon into strips before I fry it – I feel I get a faster, even, fry compared to frying whole slices of bacon – and I get nice even cuts that way vs the crumbs I get when I cut the bacon after cooking.

– The first time I made these I used my blender and while the bites were okay I wasn’t in love with the texture and there were no little pockets of cheese. The next time I used the food processor and just pulsed the batter together and the results were much better

– Also when I used the blender the eggs were over beaten and the bites rose too much and were miss shaped, so don’t over beat the eggs – if you do let them settle before cooking

– Don’t use the “pressure cooker” setting, make sure you use the “steam” setting. I used “pressure cooker” the first time and the egg bite texture was not as velvety as a sous vide bite would be, but the steam setting is much much closer to the perfection of sous vide!

To make these Sous Vide Egg Bites you’ll need

• Electric Pressure cooker – I have an 8 quart instant Pot
• Egg bites mold – I use two of these 9 cavity, if you have a smaller pressure cooker use the 6 cavity mold
• Food Processor
• non stick pan
• (optional)
