Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) Mexican chorizo
- 4 large eggs
Dairy and Cream Components:
- ⅓ cup (40 grams) grated Monterey Jack cheese
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) heavy cream
- ¼ cup (60 grams) sour cream
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- ½ yellow onion, diced
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Nonstick cooking spray, for the mold
Instructions
- Heat a spacious skillet over medium temperature, introducing chorizo and finely diced onions to create a flavorful base.
- Sauté the chorizo and onions for 5-6 minutes, stirring intermittently until the onions become translucent and the chorizo is completely rendered.
- Remove the cooked mixture from heat, carefully draining excess fat through a fine-mesh strainer, then allow to cool to room temperature.
- In a generously sized mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, sour cream, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper until the mixture achieves a light, airy consistency.
- Liberally coat a silicone egg bite mold with nonstick cooking spray, creating an even surface for cooking.
- Distribute grated Monterey Jack cheese as a delicate bottom layer, followed by an even spread of the cooled chorizo and onion mixture across each mold cavity.
- Gently pour the whisked egg mixture into each mold, filling approximately 1/4 inch (6 millimeters) from the top to prevent overflow during cooking.
- Position a trivet inside the multi-cooker, adding 250 milliliters (1 cup) of water to create a steaming environment.
- Carefully cover the mold with aluminum foil, ensuring a tight seal to prevent moisture intrusion.
- Close the multi-cooker lid, set the pressure valve to sealing, and activate the steam function for precisely 10 minutes.
- Once cooking completes, allow natural pressure release for 10 minutes before carefully venting any remaining steam.
- Delicately invert the mold onto a serving plate, gently tapping to release the egg bites, and serve immediately while warm and aromatic.
Notes
- Freeze these savory egg bites in individual portions for grab-and-go breakfasts that save time and satisfy hunger.
- Microwave reheating works best when done gently, keeping the eggs moist and preventing rubbery texture.
- Refrigerated egg bites maintain peak quality for four days, making them ideal for weekly meal preparation.
- Swap out cheeses to create endless flavor combinations that keep breakfast exciting and personalized.
- Multi-cooker steaming technique guarantees consistently tender, perfectly cooked egg bites every single time.
- Spicy chorizo combined with creamy cheese delivers a breakfast experience that transforms ordinary mornings into culinary adventures.
