Breakfast will never be the same once you make Copy Cat Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites in the Instant Pot. You’ll love to make them yourself and for less $$$
Hi! I am a total “Pot Head”
You might be a “Pot Head” when you pack up your Instant Pot and take it with you while traveling. ha!
I did just that while I was staying with my mom last week while she recovered from a major foot surgery. Thankfully, the surgery went well and she was having a good recovery, but I learned that bunions are hereditary and I’ll prob need foot surgery one day. Thanks Mom… ugh!
That said, I helped out with cooking, walking the dog, cleaning up, going shopping, taking her to doctor appointments, telling her that someone’s face looked like a belly button. I take helping out and cracking jokes very seriously.
I also take making breakfast very seriously.
I tasked myself with making egg sandwiches, omelettes, and these sous vide egg bites while was there.
My favorite omelette is a Western omelette so I used those ingredients in these egg bites that I made in my 6 quart Instant Pot. You can easily swap out the peppers for mushrooms, the ham for bacon, and the cheddar for Swiss. Whatever!
Make these egg bites at home and save your money at Starbucks. Can’t beat a copy-cat recipe!
Copy Cat Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites
Breakfast will never be the same once you make Copy Cat Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites in the Instant Pot. You'll love to make them yourself and for less $$$
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup finely diced onion, about 1/2 onion
- 1/2 Cup finely diced red bell pepper, about 1/2 bell pepper
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 Cup Milk
- 2/3 cup diced ham steak
- 1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, saute the onion and bell pepper in the butter until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Take off the heat and let cool.
- In a large bowl or large measuring cup, beat the eggs with the milk.
- Add the ham, cooked onion and bell pepper, cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- In 2 silicone egg bites molds, evenly pour/spoon the egg mixture in the cavities of the mold. Do not over fill - each cavity should have a 1/4" clearance from the top.
- Pour 1 1/2 Cups water in the bottom of your Instant Pot (6 qt+) pot, add the trivet*, then put a mold on the trivet. Put the other mold on top of the first.
- Put the top of the Instant Pot on, seal and lock it. Press manual, and then set the timer to 10 minutes. Once the 10 minutes are complete, let Natural Pressure Release (NPR) for 5 minutes before releasing the pressure. Carefully remove from molds the Instant Pot. Let the egg bites cool for 5 minutes before removing from the molds.
Notes
I forgot my trivet at home while I was traveling and made these, I just took (2) 3" wide pieces of aluminum foil, attach them end to end and loosely roll up, creating a 1/2" wide log, twist to make a circle and pinch the ends together. Ta-da! Done!

These sound delicious. When do I get to sample them?
When you make some ham and eggs! ha!!
Do you have to use 8 eggs? I’m just starting out and wanna test
You can halve the recipe, and only use 1 mold.
Did you cover the molds and if you did what did you cover them with?
I did not cover them. Just put the filled mold in. No need to cover.
The mold comes with a cover, but it is just for storage of food
Did you spray your your molds? I’m going to try and make these. Thank you for sharing.
no, I did not.
Although, I don’t think it’s bad to spray them either.
I made these with crumbled bacon, red onions, spinach, sweet peppers and cheddar chz seasoned them with adobo, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. They were amazing. Next time I make these I will line them with cupcake liners for easier handling.
