I chose to use Bacon because, well, BACON! Everyone loves Bacon….except for me. 🙂 I don’t mind it in small doses, but my husband loves the stuff! I chose Jarlsberg Cheese, because it is one of my favorite types of cheese and brings back memories from my childhood; especially my Dad.

Tips and Tricks
- Make sure to grease the mason jars or egg bite trays.
- Process the eggs until they are frothy.
- If using bacon, make sure it is crisp.
- For sous vide cooking, the jars can be filled all the way up to the groves.
Put the lids on the Mason Jars and tighten just past “finger tight.”
The jars will be submerged in the water, so you want to make sure no water will get into the Jars.
Place all jars into the Water Bath.
Fill the Instant Pot DUO Plus, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker or any other large pot, with water.
Make sure to leave enough room for your Sous Vide Circulator, so that the water won’t go above the “Max” line.
Once the Sous Vide Circulator comes to temperature, it will begin to count down.
The mason jars are super hot.
A canning jar lifter is handy to remove them from the pot.
Remove the Lids and take a butter knife and loosen the Egg Bites and then pop out.
Can I Freeze Starbucks Egg Bites?

- Store them in the mason jars.

I too have an Instant Pot Ultra and would like to try it’s “Sous Vide” feature with the mason jars. I have tried the steam method with the silicone molds and although they were tasty, I wasn’t completely happy with the texture. How far above the jars do you fill the instant pot and do you use the trivet? Can I stack another set of mason jars on top ? Thanks!
Angela says
This receipt looks delicious! I just ordered the egg bite trays. I was wondering if I could still use mason jars to cook these in my instant pot. If so, do the jars need to be immersed in water, or can they be above the water with a trivet?
Beth says
Would there be any time change when using an 8qt IP?

No, Beth. Jill
Dawn Cheshire Gibson says
I make these frequently. I typically use flavored cream cheese and switch up the meats and cheeses. I’d like to try freezing them. Do they need to be frozen in the little jars, or can they be removed and wrapped tightly.
Thank you.
Jill says
They can be removed. Jill
Margaret says
I made mine with bacon, Gruyere cheese, and green onions. Delicious. Next time I will saute some mushrooms and bell pepper. Used the egg bites mold using the link you suggested so hope you got credit for it from Amazon. Will definitely make them again. I understand I can freeze them and let them defrost and then reheat. Looking forward to making more.
Jill says
Thank you, Margaret, I am glad you enjoyed the bites. Jill
