My family has had a weekly tradition of getting Starbucks sous vide egg bites ever since my kids started swim class on Sundays last year. The bites are relatively low carb at 9 grams carbs per serving, but could be much lower considering there are no veggies involved. So when my good friend explained to me how to make sous video egg bites at home, I decided to try my hand at an Instant Pot sous video egg bites recipe!
With just 4 ingredients and being mostly hands-off, these copycat Starbucks egg bites are ready in less than 20 minutes. They’re an easy way to meal prep your healthy breakfast quickly.
Plus, they are easy to customize with your favorite flavors. I’ll show you how to make sous vide egg bites in the Instant Pot with my personal favorite – bacon and gruyere cheese!

These sous vide egg bites are small egg souffles made in the Instant Pot! The Starbucks egg bites made these mini egg bites super popular, and they turned out to be a great low carb breakfast idea on-the-go.
Real sous vide is a cooking method that involves cooking a sealed pouch of food in a water bath, at low temperature, for an extended period of time. But since it requires special equipment, I opted to make these in my Instant Pot instead, like my friend recommended.
Can You Make Sous Vide Egg Bites In The Instant Pot?
Yes, you can make sous vide egg bites in the Instant Pot!
And it’s a great way to make them. Your egg bites sous vide Instant Pot recipe will turn out perfectly each and every time, without needing to buy extra equipment.
Mine might not be as pretty as Starbucks sous vide egg bites, but they are just as delicious, with fewer carbs.
How To Make Sous Vide Egg Bites In The Instant Pot
This Starbucks sous vide egg bites recipe is an easy way to prep a healthy, keto breakfast that’s perfectly portable and super delicious.
Here’s how to make sous vide egg bites in the Instant Pot:
- Grease the egg bite mold. Use butter or olive oil spray to ensure that the bites pop out easily when they are done cooking.
- Lay down bacon. Stack bacon slices and cut them in half. Then place two pieces of bacon side-by-side into the bottom of the mold, curving them up the sides.
- Blend the Starbucks egg bites sous vide mixture. Blend eggs, cheese, cream, water, sea salt, and pepper, until frothy.
- Pour egg mixture into the molds, filling them to the top. Cover tightly with foil.
- Cook the sous vide egg bites in the Instant Pot. Pour water into the bottom of the pressure cooker and place the trivet inside. Carefully place the egg bite mold onto trivet. Close the lid, set valve to seal, then cook on high pressure for 9 minutes. Wait 5 minutes for natural release, then flip to quick release for any remaining pressure. The egg bites will be done when you open the lid!
- Cool the Instant Pot sous vide egg bites. Lift trivet out of pressure cooker with oven mitts – be careful, it’s very hot! Let them cool for 5 minutes (they will shrink a bit making them easier to remove), then flip the mold over a plate and pop egg bites out.
Flavor Variations For Egg Bites
My favorite flavor for Starbucks egg bites is bacon gruyere, so that’s what I made! But you can easily customize these to your liking. Here are some ideas for add-ins:
- Vegetables – Try adding broccoli, cauliflower, or bell peppers.
IMPORTANT: Cook the vegetables first. The easiest way would be to cook them under pressure right in the Instant Pot for just 1 minute (so fast!). Chop up what you need for the bites and save the rest for another use. You’ll want to stir the veggies into the egg mixture after blending (or just place them into the molds before adding the egg mixture), but avoid actually blending them.
- Cheese – Swap the gruyere with mozzarella, cheddar, pepper jack.
- Meat – Replace the bacon with sausage or diced ham instead.
If you have your own favorite flavor, let me know how you like them in the comments!
How Many Carbs Are In Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites?
The Starbucks sous vide egg bites have between 9-11 grams carbohydrates, depending on the variety.
My Instant Pot sous vide egg bites recipe has just 1 gram carbohydrate per serving! The Starbucks egg bites are great for convenience, but my recipe is great if you’re looking for a keto version. Plus, making them at home is so much cheaper.
Can You Freeze At Home Sous Vide Egg Bites?
Yes, you can freeze Instant Pot sous vide egg bites. Place them in the freezer once they are completely cool and freeze on a cookie sheet. Once they are solid, you can transfer to a freezer bag.
When you’re ready to eat, microwave or heat in the oven, until warm.

This made more than 7 eggbits it made 14.
I filled 2 silicone molds,set them on top of each other and cooked according to recipe. Very good
Holly
Can this be made another way? I don’t have an IP!?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Holly, I’m sorry, the pressure cooker gives a specific texture to these egg bites that I don’t think could be achieved otherwise. Perhaps you could give these Breakfast Egg Muffins a try?
Rick G
Hi. Can these delicious bite be cooked in a MicroWave, Slow Cooker, or Oven? If so, how? Thanks!!!
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Rick, I’m sorry, the pressure cooker gives a specific texture to these egg bites that I don’t think could be achieved otherwise. Perhaps you could give these Breakfast Egg Muffins a try?
Deb
They look so good. Unfortunately, an instant pot is also special equipment. That I don’t own. Is there any other way to cook these? Or would it be pointless?

Hi Deb, I’m sorry, the pressure cooker gives a specific texture to these egg bites that I don’t think could be achieved otherwise. Perhaps you could give these Breakfast Egg Muffins a try?

Can this be made without a pressure cooker? I don’t own one. We did and the husband gave it away.

Beverly Silvers
Do you need to cook the bacon first? It doesn’t say to do that in instructions but the picture looks like it has been cooked.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Beverly, Yes, please cook the bacon first.
Mary
What is in the Starbucks sous vide bites that has the carbs?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Mary, The Starbucks version of egg bits have a few non-keto components in them. Ingredients like cottage cheese and rice starch quickly increase the carb count. They are a great option for on-the-go eating, but probably not for everyday.
Mary
Thanks,
Marie-Charlotte Chatelain
I have been meaning to get some of those Instant Pot gadgets! These bites look like the best high-protein snack EVER!
Jo
