Ingredients
- 6 large eggs

- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup diced cooked ham
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
- In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, milk, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Grease the silicone egg bite molds or small heat-safe cups with cooking spray or oil.
- Divide the diced ham, bell pepper, and onion evenly among the molds or cups.
- Pour the egg mixture into each mold or cup, filling about 3/4 full. Tap the molds or cups gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Place the trivet or a steamer basket in the Instant Pot insert. Pour 1 cup of water into the insert.
- Carefully place the filled molds or cups onto the trivet or steamer basket.
- Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to the sealing position.
- Select the 'Pressure Cook' or 'Manual' setting and adjust the cooking time to 8 minutes on high pressure.
- Once the cooking time is complete, allow a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
- Remove the egg bites from the Instant Pot and let them cool for a few minutes before removing them from the molds or cups.
- Serve the egg bites warm or refrigerate for later use. Enjoy!
