I have been on a mission to make a copycat starbucks egg bite recipe for quite some time now and I've finally created with this recipe! These egg bites are packed in protein and will help keep you full for hours when paired with a balanced breakfast! They also are easy to make ahead and are perfect for breakfast meal prep.
These egg bites are GREAT year round. They are SO easy to make and they were my pregnancy craving throughout my whole pregnancy and for good reason. Eggs are a great source of choline, an important micronutrient for pregnancy! These are extremely healthy and delicious. I use the full egg here because I am a huge proponent of using the whole egg for maximum health benefits!

- Grab your instant pot, add 1 Cup of water to the inner pot. Carefully place your rubber molding on top of the metal rack that comes with the instant pot and slowly lower the rack into the pot.
