Soft like the coffee shop ones

These come out soft and tender, not rubbery, and the trick is cottage cheese blended right into the eggs. It disappears in the blender. Nobody at the table will ever guess it is in there.

I like peppers and green onion in mine. Use what you have. A little chopped spinach, a bit of ham, a different cheese. The base stays the same and the bites still work.

The mold does the shaping

A silicone egg bites mold is the one extra thing you need, and it earns its drawer space. Grease it, fill it, and cover it loosely so water does not pool on top of the eggs.

After the cook, let the pot sit for 10 minutes before you open the valve. That short natural release lets the pressure fall gently, so the bites stay smooth instead of puffing and collapsing. Rest them 5 minutes and they pop right out.
