Ingredients
Egg Mixture
  • 6 whole eggs
  • ½ cup 1% cottage cheese
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon THM Mineral Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Optional Fillings
  • Diced Bell Peppers
  • Diced onion
  • Diced Mushrooms
  • Shredded Cheese
  • Bacon
  • Sausage
  • Steamed Vegetables
Supplies
  • 3 8 ounce wide mouth canning jars
Instructions
Prepare fillings:
  1. Dice your meat and vegetables, shred the cheese (if you are using) and set aside.
Prepare jars:
  1. Wash and sterilize 3 8 ounce canning jars (I like to use these). Coat interior with butter or spray with coconut oil.
Prepare Egg Mixture:
  1. Mix fist six ingredients by pulsing in a blender or food processor, try not to incorporate air into the egg mixture.
Layer Fillings in jars in this order:
  1. Meat, Cheese, veggies, cheese and pour egg mixture slowly over the top of fillings until about ½ -3/4 full.
  2. I normally tap my jars on the counter lightly to get any air bubbles to rise to the top and then pop them with a wooden scewer. Cover jars with foil or lightly place metal lids on top of jars. (These eggs expand while cooking so make sure you do not overfill them before cooking.
Instant Pot Directions:
  1. Place trivet into inner liner, add 1 cup water to liner. (I normally do this before filling my jars and put my pot on saute so that it heats the water slightly before putting the jars in to process them, it shortens the time needed for the pot to come to pressure)
  2. Place 3 foil covered jars on trivet, close and lock the lid. Put vent on "sealing" process for jars for 5 minutes on low pressure and allow to natural pressure release for 10 minutes.
  3. Remove jars from your instant pot and allow to cool on a wire rack before serving or storing in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Oven Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Place jars into a 8 x8 pan filled with ½ - 1" of water. Bake for aprox 25 minutes. Remove from oven, allow to cool on a wire rack before serving or storing in refrigerator for 3-4 days.
To Reheat:
  1. Remove lid from jar. Reheat in microwave for 1 minute or until hot. top with your favorite cheese, salsa or hot sauce.
Notes
If using a Duo80 8 qt Instant Pot you can process 4 jars at a time.
