Steps
Very lightly use extra virgin olive oil to grease egg bite tray.
Add eggs, cottage cheese, Monterey Jack, feta, salt, pepper, oregano and hot sauce to blender and blend until frothy.
Add chopped bell pepper and scallions and pulse for a second, just to combine.
Pour egg mixture evenly among egg bite tray. Place silicone lid on top of egg bite tray. If you don't have a fitted top, cover tightly with foil.
Place 1.5 cups of water into cooking pot and place a trivet on top. [If you have these cool egg bite trays, you won't need a trivet or sling and you can place the egg bite tray(s) directly into the cooking pot without issue!!!]
Lower egg bite tray into cooking pot. If your egg bite tray does not have an attached trivet, lower trivetless egg bite tray on top of metal trivet.
Lock on lid and close pressure valve. Cook at high pressure for 5 minutes. When beep sounds, wait 5 minutes and then release the rest of the pressure.
Remove lid and serve right away with a dash of hot sauce, if desired.

Reviews
Sherry on 2019-07-24 (5 stars): So easy to make and very creamy. These will definitely go into rotation.
Jacklyn F on 2019-07-19 (5 stars): I made these in a 6 quart pot and used
Cake Push Pan with Handle and Mini Cups for Egg Bites Molds
and it took a lot longer to cook these than stated, but they tasted incredible, thanks for the recipe.
Pat on 2019-03-22 (5 stars): Another home run!
Beverly on 2019-02-24 (5 stars): Has anyone tried doubling this recipe and stacking 2 silicone egg trays in the IP? Would the cooking time need to be modified? I purchased the integrated trays with base and handle as recommended in this recipe.
Anita on 2019-01-06 (5 stars): Amazing flavor, quick and easy to prepare.
I did not have cottage cheese on hand, so I used ricotta. The bites came out a bit on the creamy side, but after a bit of sitting, did still hold together.
Yummy!
