Why Are My Egg Muffins Spongy?

If your egg muffins are turning out spongy, it could be due to a few factors. Here are some common reasons and solutions:

• Too Much Liquid. Excess liquid, such as milk or cream, can contribute to a spongy texture. Be mindful of the ratio of liquid to other ingredients in your recipe and adjust accordingly.
• Overcooking. Cooking the egg muffins for too long or at too high a temperature can cause them to become spongy. Follow the recommended cooking time and temperature in your recipe, and consider using a toothpick or knife to check for doneness before removing them from the oven or Instant Pot.

Ingredients You'll Need

• Eggs- Use large eggs for this recipe.
• Milk- Adds creaminess to the egg mixture.
• Salt and Pepper- Season to taste.
• Fillings- Choose your favorite ingredients such as diced vegetables, cooked meats, cheese, or herbs.

How To Make Egg Muffins

The steps for making these egg bites in your Instant Pot are very similar to making them in the oven. For an even fluffier bite, try steaming them in your Instant Pot instead of baking them.

1. Prepare the egg bite batter by mixing all of the ingredients together in a large bowl.
2. Spray the inside of a silicone egg bite mold with nonstick spray.
3. Fill each section of the egg bite mold with the egg mixture and place the lid on tightly.
   • If you have more than one egg bite mold, you can fill multiple molds and stack them on top of each other and they will all cook at the same time!
4. Place a trivet and one cup of water inside the Instant Pot liner.
5. Stack the egg bite mold(s) on top of the trivet.
6. Put the lid on your Instant Pot and cook for 8 minutes under high pressure. When the cooking time is complete, quickly release all remaining pressure.
7. Carefully remove the egg bite molds from the Instant Pot and take the lid off. Remove the egg bites from the mold and enjoy!

Tips And Tricks

Making Instant Pot Egg Muffins is a convenient and versatile way to enjoy a protein-packed breakfast. Here are some tips and tricks to ensure they turn out perfectly:

• Use Silicone Molds. Silicone muffin molds are ideal for making egg muffins in the Instant Pot. They are flexible, non-stick, and easy to clean. Make sure to grease the molds lightly with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
• Customize Fillings. Egg muffins are highly customizable, so feel free to add your favorite fillings such as diced vegetables, cooked meats, cheese, or herbs. Just ensure that the fillings are cooked or pre-cooked before adding them to the egg mixture.
• Maintain Proper Ratio. Aim for a good balance of eggs and liquid to achieve the right texture. Typically, using about one egg per muffin cavity works well. You can whisk the eggs with milk or cream for added richness and fluffiness.

Variations

There are countless variations you can try when making Instant Pot Egg Muffins to suit your taste preferences or dietary restrictions. Here are some delicious ideas:

• Vegetable Lovers- Add a variety of diced vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, or zucchini for a colorful and nutritious option.
• Meat Lovers- Incorporate cooked meats like diced ham, crumbled bacon, cooked sausage, or shredded chicken for a hearty and protein-packed breakfast option.
• Cheese Delight- Sprinkle shredded cheese like cheddar, mozzarella, feta, or goat cheese on top of the egg mixture for added creaminess and flavor.

What To Enjoy With Egg Muffins

When serving Instant Pot Egg Muffins, there are several delightful accompaniments you can enjoy to create a satisfying and balanced breakfast. Here are some tasty options:

• Fresh Fruit- Pair your egg muffins with a selection of fresh fruit such as sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or grapes. The sweetness of the fruit complements the savory flavors of the egg muffins beautifully.
• Toast or English Muffins- Serve your egg muffins alongside toasted slices of bread or English muffins. Spread with butter, jam, or your favorite breakfast spread for added flavor.
• Salad- For a lighter option, enjoy your egg muffins with a simple green salad dressed with vinaigrette. The freshness of the salad provides a nice contrast to the richness of the eggs.

How Long Do They Last?

Store leftover egg muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months when placed in a freezer-safe bag.

To reheat the Egg Muffins, simply microwave for a minute or two until they are heated through.
