Spray silicone molds with Pam cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Crack 7 eggs into a bowl and add salt and pepper.

Add 1/4 cup milk to the eggs for creaminess.

Mix the eggs gently to avoid incorporating too much air.

Add diced Canadian bacon to the egg mixture, leaving out for those who prefer without.

Pour the egg mixture into the silicone molds until they are about 2/3 full.

Add shredded cheese and green onions on top of the egg mixture in the molds.

Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot.

Place the silicone molds on an Oxo sling or trivet in the Instant Pot.

Lock the lid on the Instant Pot and set to pressure cook for 11 minutes.

After cooking, allow for a 5-minute natural release before venting any remaining pressure.

Let the egg bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes before unmolding.

Pinch and push the bottom of the molds to release the egg bites easily.

Serve the egg bites on a plate, optionally with fresh fruit and toast.
