Serves: 7 egg bites
Ingredients
- 2 eggs*
- 2 egg whites*
- ½ cup diced peppers and onions (I used a frozen mix)
- 2 oz deli ham, diced small
- ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 oz shredded lite/part-skim mozzarella cheese (see notes for nondairy option)
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Spray a 7 hole silicon mold with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Spray a skillet with nonstick spray and saute peppers and onions until soft and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
- Divide the vegetables, black beans, and chopped/crumbled sausage between the molds.
- Place egg, egg whites, cheese, almond milk, salt, and pepper into a blender or food processor. Blend until mixture is light and frothy.
- INSTANT POT: To cook in Instant pot cover the mold loosely with foil. Place 1 cup of water into the bottom of the instant pot and then gently lower the steam rack and mold into the pot. Close the lid and turn the valve to seal. Select steam setting and cook for 8 minutes. After cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Release any remaining pressure, and carefully lift the mold out of the pot. STOVE TOP: To cook on stove top fill a large pot with enough water so that it just comes to the bottom of the steam rack. Bring to a boil. Gently lower the steam rack and mold into the pot and cover. Reduce heat to a low boil and steam for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and allow to sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Carefully life the mold out of the pot.
- Place a paper towel over the top of the mold, turn a large plate upside down over the paper towel and then carefully flip so that the egg bites turn out onto the paper towel lined plate. Enjoy!
