Spray the silicone molds with the cooking spray. Set aside.
In a blender or food processor, add the cottage cheese, eggs, and other hard cheese. Blend for about 20-30 seconds. Then add in the other ingredients and pulse a few times to give them a fluffy texture.
Divide the egg mixture evenly between the compartments of the silicone mold. Making sure to leave at least 1/4" space on top so when you cook they don't overflow. Clean around the mold as well, that helps to make sure your egg bites will be perfect. Close with the lid the molds came with or use foil to cover tightly. Place both molds on the trivet.
Add 1 cup of water in the Instant Pot, and carefully lower the trivet with the molds. It should fit snug.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot. Make sure the vent is set to sealing. Press the STEAM button and set the timer to 15 minutes. It will take about 5 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to full pressure, then the display will show a countdown timer. TIP: if you own an older model of the Instant Pot, cook time will be 10 minutes and 10 minutes natural release.
Once the cooking time is done, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, and then release any remaining pressure before opening the Instant Pot.
Remove the molds one at a time, being careful of the steam. Allow the egg bites to cool for a few minutes before removing from the molds and enjoying.
Notes
HOW DO YOU STORE INSTANT POT EGG BITES? To store, just pop the cooled egg bites out of the silicone mold and pack them up in a ziploc bag in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze your Instant Pot Egg Bites.HOW DO YOU REHEAT INSTANT POT EGG BITES? These egg bites just need a quick 30-seconds in the microwave. If frozen, they’ll take about 1 ½ – 2 minutes in the microwave or leave covered in the fridge for a few hours or overnight to thaw out.CAN YOU SUBSTITUTE COTTAGE CHEESE FOR RICOTTA CHEESE? I have not tried this method, but based on my research, the result will be slightly more dense.
