Bacon and Gruyere Egg Bites

Bacon and Gruyere egg bites are perfect for those who enjoy meal prepping. Bacon and Gruyere Egg Bites reheat in seconds for a perfectly keto and low-carb breakfast.
Servings: 7 egg bites
Equipment
- Instant Pot & Siilcone molds
Ingredients
- 4 Lg Eggs
- 1/2 cup Grueyere Cheese Shredded
- 1/2 cup Cottage Cheese
- 1/4 cup Cooked Bacon Chopped
Instructions
- Start off by cooking your bacon, drain, and set aside. I like to cut my bacon before cooking then I have perfect pieces when completed. If you have already cooked bacon cut it into pieces.
- In a food processor add eggs, cottage cheese, and gruyere cheese and blend until smooth about 30 seconds. Add pre-cooked bacon and pulse a few times to combine.
- Brush inside of egg mold with olive oil or cooking spray, then divide the egg bit mixture into the silicone mold cups.
- Cover with silicone lid or tightly cover with aluminum foil. Add one cup of water and your trivet into the instant pot then carefully lower the silicone mold into the instant pot. If you want to make a double batch and have two molds just stack them on top of each other for double the deliciousness.
- Place the lid on the instant pot and on high pressure, set the timer for 10 minutes. Once completed allow the pressure to come down naturally for 7 -10 minutes before releasing the remaining pressure and removing the egg bites. Finally and this is the hardest part, let the egg bites cool for about 5 minutes before removing from the molds and enjoying.
Notes
I ladle my egg bit mixture into the egg molds to ensure there is bacon in every bite, it also helps with mess.
While silicone is naturally non-stick, I suggest using olive oil, coconut oil, or cooking spray in the mold for an easy release of the egg bites. Using this helps ensure everything is covered.
Bacon and Gruyere Egg bits can be refrigerated for up to 1 week and can also be frozen. To reheat 30 seconds in the microwave and they will be ready. From frozen reheat for 1 ½ to 2 minutes. You can also reheat in an oven or toaster oven but they will brown a bit on the exterior.
A great substitution for Gruyere would be Jarlsberg cheese. While milder in flavor, Jarlsberg has a very similar flavor profile to gruyere.
