Begin by cracking the eggs into a jug. Then dice the ham and bell pepper. Now add the cottage cheese and grated cheese to the egg, mix well.
Add the ham and bell pepper to the jug. Add salt and pepper to taste. (you could also add more ingredients or switch out ingredients for spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms etc.)
Pour the mixture into the silicone egg mold. Place the trivet into your Instant Pot. Add 2 cups of water.
Now carefully place the siclicone mold into the trivet in the Instant Pot and lower. Be sure to leave the lid off the mold. That should never go into the Instant Pot.
Cook the eggs for 6 minutes on a low pressure setting and naturally release for 5 minutes.
Notes
Roasted Red Pepper: We use raw red pepper in this egg bites recipe but feel free to roast your red pepper before adding to the egg mixture. This will give your egg bites added flavor.
Double Batch: You can cook two lots of egg bites at once if you want to make a double batch. If you own more than one silicone mold then place one on in the bottom of the pot and one on a trivet. Cook for the same time period.
