Egg Bite Recipe

I’ve been asked to write this out, so here we go.
This will yield about 46 egg bites. I eat 2/day and so does my wife.

Ingredients:
18 eggs
32 oz egg whites (2 cartons)
12 oz parmesan
1/4 cup milk
7 oz shredded cheese blend (Gruyère, cheddar mix), plus more for molds
Cholula to taste; we use about 4 tbsp
Seasoning blend: salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika
Bacon bits; not sure of an amount, as I sprinkle it in the molds (we use the big bag from Costco)
Cornstarch: 2 tbsp; this is a textural component; it will not give a flavor change.

Procedure:
Crack eggs into a large bowl.
Pour in egg whites.
Add seasonings, Parmesan, cheese blend, hot sauce, and milk.
Using an immersion blender or stick blender, whiz up until homogeneous and well blended.

Cooking:
Ladle the mixture into a measuring cup; this is easier and less messy to pour into the molds. I use the Instant Pot molds. There are 7 per tray. Sprinkle a bit of cheese and bacon into the bottom of the molds. Pour in the egg mixture about 3/4 full.

I use a steaming pot, so I add water and bring it to a boil. Carefully place the molds in the steamer baskets of the steam pots. I do two pots at a time, and I recently bought two more steam trays to cut our time down.
Cover and steam for about 15-18 minutes. I check them with a fork by pulling the edge to the center to make sure the eggs are formed and not liquidy. Once done, we dump them into a disposable 9×13 aluminum pan to cool. Start your next set of 7 in the mold. Once cool, we bag them up in a gallon freezer bag.

Heating and Storage:
These will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days or 3 weeks in the freezer. To reheat from the fridge, it’s about 65 seconds in the microwave. From frozen, 90 seconds to 2 minutes in the microwave. They can be watery when you bite them. Drain them off when done in the microwave. Have a napkin for your chin, lol.

These are cheaper than buying the Starbucks or Costco sous vide egg bites. About 32 cents per bite vs. $5 for 2 at Starbucks and Costco.
