Chorizo* Egg White Bites

A few years ago I was traveling through the Atlanta airport and needed to stop for breakfast. The Atlanta airport has a ton of food options, but my go-to is usually a chicken biscuit from Chick-Fil-A. Unfortunately, the line on this day was INSANE. So I popped over to Starbucks. The line was just as long but was to be moving a bit more quickly. I got the Egg White & Roasted Red Pepper Sous Vide Egg Bites and I honestly had pretty low expectations. Fast food eggs are usually unappetizing to me. But they blew my mind! I had to figure out how to make them at home, but unfortunately, I do not have a sous vide. I may be adding that to my kitchen wishlist though.

In the meantime, I found this silicone mold that fits perfectly in my pressure cooker. Blending the eggs, egg whites, and cottage cheese may sound strange, but it keeps everything soft and fluffy trust me. Then you can add whatever fillings you like. Of course, I went the Tex Mex route because, well, it’s me! I used the Soy Chorizo from Trader Joe’s and it is so good! All the flavor of chorizo, but plant-based so it’s not super greasy. This makes preparing the filling super easy since you don’t have to worry about draining any fat before adding it to the silicone mold.

These egg white bites would be great for a meal-prepped breakfast, brinner, or brunch table! If you make them ahead of time, just pop them in the microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute to warm them back up. And of course, add hot sauce *wink*

If you are looking for a pressure cooker or the silicone egg bite mold, here you go!
