Instant Pot Egg Bites

ByDorothea
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I needed a quick to prepare and eat breakfast and knew I loved the sous vide egg bites from Starbucks. These have the same fluffy texture and you simply choose your ingredients. They cook up in only nine minutes in the Instant Pot and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week so that you have a hot, tasty, and good for you meal in just 50 seconds in the microwave.

I like fresh ingredients when I can get them. I prefer not to use pre-shredded cheese because of the added ingredients to prevent caking. I also compared cottage cheese ingredients and wanted simple ingredients without all the preservatives. To avoid nitrates, try uncured bacon. The shelf-life isn’t quite as long, but bacon at my house doesn’t last long anyway.

Pumpkin Bread

ByDorothea

This is a very basic pumpkin bread that has a cake-like texture. I usually double the recipe and use two Lodge cast-iron loaf pans that you can buy (here). I really like these pans because they bake evenly in my gas oven, give everything a nice brown crust, and leave the insides soft and moist….
