Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 5 whole eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • Ham, diced (about 1/2 cup)
  • Mushrooms, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
  • Tomatoes, diced (about 1/2 cup)
  • Green onions, chopped (2 tablespoons)
  • Cheddar cheese, shredded (1/2 cup)
  • 2 cups water (for steaming)

Instructions

  1. Whisk Egg Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together the 5 eggs, 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Add Ingredients: Fold in the diced ham, chopped mushrooms, diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Prepare Mold: Lightly spray a silicone or metal mold with olive oil or nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the egg bites.
  4. Fill Mold Cups: Pour the egg mixture into each cup of the mold, filling each about 1/4 inch below the top to allow space for expansion during cooking.
  5. Cover Mold: Place the cover over the mold to keep moisture in during steaming.
  6. Set up Ninja Foodi: Position the Ninja Foodi rack in the cooking pot on the low setting to increase the distance from the water.
  7. Add Water: Pour 2 cups of water into the bottom of the cooking pot to create steam for pressure cooking.
  8. Place Mold in Foodi: Set the covered mold on the rack inside the cooking pot carefully to avoid disturbing the arrangement.
  9. Prepare Lid: Secure the pressure lid onto the Ninja Foodi and ensure the pressure valve is turned to the VENT position to allow steam to escape.
  10. Steam Cook: Select the STEAM function on the Ninja Foodi and set the timer for 12 minutes to gently cook the egg bites to the perfect consistency.
  11. Cool Down: Once cooking is complete, carefully remove the lid and allow the egg bites to cool for a few minutes to set and make them easier to handle.
  12. Serve: Pop the egg bites out of the mold and serve warm. Enjoy your nutritious and flavorful Ninja Foodi Egg Bites!

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables and diced ham for the best flavor and texture.
  • Customize the fillings by substituting or adding other ingredients like spinach, bell peppers, or different cheese types.
  • If you don’t have a silicone mold, use a metal one but be careful when removing the egg bites to avoid breaking them.
  • Allow egg bites to cool slightly before removing to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Leftover egg bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the microwave.
