Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to prepare delicious egg bites:
- Preheat: Close the lid of the Egg Bite Pie Maker and plug it into a standard electrical outlet. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the unit is preheating.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: While the unit preheats, whisk eggs in a bowl. You can add your favorite ingredients such as cheese, vegetables, or cooked meats to customize your egg bites.
- Pour Mixture: Once the unit is preheated (the indicator light may turn off or change color, refer to specific model details if available), carefully open the lid. Pour the prepared egg mixture into each cup of the non-stick egg tray. Do not overfill.
- Cook: Close the lid. The egg bites will cook in approximately 5-10 minutes, depending on the ingredients and desired consistency. The indicator light will cycle on and off during cooking to maintain temperature.
- Remove: Once cooked, carefully open the lid. Use a heat-resistant, non-metallic utensil to remove the egg bites from the tray.
- Serve: Serve the egg bites immediately.
- Repeat: If making additional batches, close the lid and allow the unit to reheat briefly before adding more mixture.
