Cooking instruction summary:

Instructions Add the eggs, milk, grated cheese, and pepper to a blender and blend until smooth. Spray the egg bites silicone mold with cooking spray or coconut oil. Fold one slice of cooked bacon in half and place in each of the 7 egg mold cups. Divide the egg mixture between the cups. Wrap with foil or place the plastic lid on top of the silicone egg mold. Do completely secure the lid, just lay it on top. Pour 1 cup of water into the liner of your pressure cooker and add the trivet. Carefully place the filled silicone mold on top of the trivet. Secure the lid, make sure the steam knob is in the Sealing position. Press the Steam button and adjust the time to 8 minutes using the + and buttons. When the pot beeps, allow the pressure to release naturally (about 5 to 10 minutes). Carefully remove the Egg Bites from the Instant Pot and allow to cool for a few minutes before turning out onto a wire cooling rack. Hold the mold over the wire rack and gently push the egg bites out. If you hold it at an angle or press too hard, you may end up with cracks. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to a month.

Food Trivia

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
