These Bacon and Cheese Egg Bites are super easy to make in your Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Ready in only 25 minutes.
I love making these Bacon & Cheese Egg Bites in my Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. I like to make a batch of these on Sundays so I have some to eat all week.
Another great thing about this recipe is its versatility. You are not limited to bacon and cheese. You can practically add whatever ingredients you want. Like Sausage and Cheese or add some onions, hashbrowns and even sour cream.
When making this recipe in your Instant Pot Pressure Cooker you will need an egg bite silicon mold. If you don’t have a Pressure Cooker, you can make this recipe using a muffin pan. It will take about 15 to 20 minutes to bake at 350°F.

How to Make Bacon
If you struggle to make bacon perfectly, I’ve put together a short tutorial on How to Make Perfect Bacon – 3 Ways. Check it out! My preferred method is baking it in the oven.
And don’t throw away that bacon grease! Bacon is expensive and the grease is great for making Scrambled Eggs, Grilled Cheese, Popcorn and even hash browns. It can keep up to 3 months if properly stored in the refrigerator.

Nutrition
Nutritional information provided for this recipe is based on 1 serving. This information is an estimate and may vary based on several factors. If nutritional information is important to you and your diet, please verify this recipe with a Registered Dietitian.
I followed the directions exactly and they weren’t cooked all the way through. Im not sure what I did wrong.
I don’t think you did anything wrong. I believe some IP’s behave a little differently. For example, I do my Hard Boiled Eggs for 5 minutes. Some people do 1 minute more or 1 minute less. I would suggest maybe adding 1 minute to the cooking time and make sure you do the 5 minute natural pressure release.
Is this 7 servings ?
I really love this recipe is delicious
The silicon mold I use to make this recipe has room for 7. I set the serving size to 1 egg bite so everyone can easily see the nutritional information for one egg bite. But I agree, it’s hard to eat just one!
Just made these and they are amazing. And so easy. I put spinach, bell pepper and sausage in aone batch and the the second bath I did just ham and cheese.
