It took me ages to try the sous vide egg bites from Starbucks because I thought they’d be gross and rubbery… to my surprise, I loved them! But I did not love the $4.50/serving price tag or the 9g carbs, so I researched a bunch of different knockoff recipes and came up with my own. These Keto Instant Pot Egg Bites can be made in minutes. They contain 1g net carbs and cost approximately $1.12 per serving. And I’m totally not just bragging, but I really think my Keto Instant Pot Egg Bites taste even better than the Starbucks originals!

I’m very particular about my eggs. I like them… well, CB says I like them “raw,” but that’s an exaggeration. I like them very, very moist. My scrambled eggs have to be wet and I like my fried eggs runny. Anything that is the slightest bit overdone is completely gross to me and I just won’t eat them.

So when I say the Starbucks sous vide egg bites are perfect, I want you to understand how completely I mean that. They’re rich and velvety and amazing. I was skeptical that I could replicate that product, and even more skeptical that I could meal prep these and eat on them all week. But I can. And I’m sharing this super easy and cheap recipe so you can, too. You can make these Keto Instant Pot Egg Bites and be the envy of all your work friends with your delicious breakfast just like I am :D

There are two ways to view this recipe. For those of you who are visual learners, I created a YouTube video where you can watch me make it. For those of you who prefer to read, continue to scroll down to find the written recipe. Enjoy!

Ingredients

4 large eggs

4 strips of bacon, cooked and chopped

1/2 cup cottage cheese

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 oz gruyere cheese, shredded

salt and pepper to taste

kitchen lube (aka Pam or butter)

Tools Needed

Directions

Shred 1 oz of gruyere cheese – measure this on your food scale to make sure you are accurately getting 1 oz. I found my gruyere at Publix in the fancy cheese section. Teh internets tell me that if you cannot find gruyere, a good substitution would be emmental or jarlsberg, both of which I’ve seen at multiple grocery stores. You want a similarly strong-tasting cheese with a high fat content.

In a container, add the shredded gruyere, cottage cheese, and heavy cream. My favorite cottage cheese brand is Good Culture because it is very thick and dry. I think the dry cottage cheese works very well in this recipe.

Crack four eggs into the same container.

Add salt and pepper.

Using your stick blender, incorporate all the ingredients. You can use any sort of blender for this, but I like the precision of the stick blender. You do not want your mix to get too aerated or fluffy. If it gets too many bubbles, you can tap the container solidly on your countertop to help the bubbles rise to the top and burst. After mixing, set that container aside so as many bubbles can dissipate as possible before baking.

Chop your precooked bacon. You want some larger pieces and some smaller pieces so they will distribute throughout the egg bite.

Lube up your silicone egg bite tray with Pam or butter or whatever other oil you have handy.

Distribute the bacon equitably within the egg bite tray.

Pour the egg/cheese mixture on top of the bacon. You should fill each cup to just below the rim. Don’t overfill them. They will puff up slightly but shouldn’t rise too much. The more aerated your mixture, the more they will rise.

Put the top on the egg bite tray. If yours did not come with a top, cover it tightly with foil.

Pour 1 cup of water into your Instant Pot.

Set the egg bite tray on top of the trivet and lower it into the Instant Pot.

Seal your Instant Pot. Set it to Steam for 9 minutes. Do not use the Egg setting – use Steam!

After your Instant Pot pressurizes and Steams for 9 minutes, let it natural release for 10 minutes. At that point, use the manual release.

Your Keto Instant Pot Egg Bites are done!

Store them in the fridge and eat on them all week.

To Reheat

I cannot reheat these bitches in the microwave and keep the same texture. The microwave = instant rubbery nastiness with eggs, in my opinion. I have two tried and true ways to reheat these babies so they maintain their velvety integrity:

Warm in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 (or put them in the toaster oven on Toast for that long)

For best results, put your Keto Instant Pot Egg Bites in your air fryer at 400 for 4 minutes. They get nice and brown, as pictured below:

Nutrition

The nutritional information below may vary slightly based on which specific ingredients you use. Please refer to this nutrition guideline as just that – a guideline. You can find this recipe in MyFitnessPal underneath the name “Keto Instant Pot Egg Bites @ ScrewedOnStraight.net.”

Each serving (one egg bite) is 112 calories, 1 g net carbs, 7 g protein, and 8 g fat. Two servings come up to 225 calories, 1 get net carbs, 15 g protein, and 16 g fat (because there are slightly less than 1 g carbs each and slightly more than 7 g protein). Compare these to two Starbucks bites: 300 cal and 9 g net carbs. Mine are a clear winner!
