The instant pot might be one of those things where you don’t understand all the hype until you ACTUALLY GET ONE. You guys, I just got mine and I’ve probably used it at least once a day for the last two weeks. Get one.
Ever had the sous vide egg bites from Starbucks? They’re sooo good, so I had to try out the recipe in my instant pot when I found out you could buy silicone egg molds. This is such an easy breakfast for busy days, and the added bonus is you can also make it for your babies/toddlers too!
For this recipe you will need an instant pot with the silicone egg mold attachment. Link to silicone mold: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07HQWD44P/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This recipe is also very versatile, you can put in basically anything you want, just chop it up into small pieces!
Here are some ADD IN IDEAS:
- Veggies: broccoli, mushrooms, spinach, kale, peppers, jalapeños
- Meat (pre cooked): bacon (pork, turkey, or chicken), sausage, ham
- Other: cheese, salt, pepper, hot sauce
BABY FRIENDLY: if you’re making these for baby, make sure you don’t use veggies/meat that will pose a choking hazard, and do not add salt. I’ve made these twice for Grayson, the first time I did spinach with a bit of dill, and the second time I did broccoli and cheese.
