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 Joke

VIRUS WARNING**** If you received an e-mail with a subject line of "Badtimes," delete it immediately without reading it! It is the most dangerous E-mail virus yet. It will re-write your hard drive. Not only that, but it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It will recalibrate your refrigerator's settings so all your ice cream melts and your milk curdles. It will demagnitize the strips on all your credit cards, reprogram your ATM access codes, screw up the tracking on your VCR and use subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you try to play. It will give your ex-boy/girlfriend your new phone number. It will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. It will drink all your beer and leave your dirty socks on the coffee table when there's company coming over. It will hide your car keys when you are late for work and interfere with your car radio so that you hear only static while stuck in traffic. Badtimes will make you fall in love with a hardened pedophile. It will give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their hotel rendezvous to your Visa card. Badtimes will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the toilet seat up and leave the hairdryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattress and pillows, it will refill your skim milk with whole. It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve. These are just a few of the signs. BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!
