Starbucks Sous Vide Instant Pot Egg Bites With Ham and Broccoli

Facebook is going crazy for a knockoff version of Starbucks sous vide Instant Pot egg bites.  I haven’t tried the Starbucks version.  They’re made with just egg whites, which doesn’t appeal to me because I feel best with more fat in my diet.  Plus, they just don’t look good in my Starbucks display case. But […]
