Ingredients
6 eggs
15g chives
100g cottage cheese
3 tbsp cream
30g cheese of choice (e.g. parmesan)
Salt
Black pepper
4 brioche burger buns
8 rashers of bacon (optional)
¼ clove garlic
3 tbsp mayonnaise
250ml water (for Instant Pot)

Instructions
Crack the 6 eggs into a blender. Add 30g cheese, 100g cottage cheese, and 3 tbsp cream, then blend until smooth. Season with and black pepper. Finely slice the 15g chives, reserving one-third for the aioli. Stir the remaining two-thirds into the egg mixture after blending.

Divide the egg mixture evenly between 4 ramekins or round silicone moulds that fit inside your Instant Pot. Pour 250ml water into the base of the pot and insert the trivet. Stack the ramekins or moulds on the steaming rack – use a short and tall rack (if you have one) if needed to fit all four or work in batches.

Set the Instant Pot Pro to Low Pressure, 12 minutes, and use Quick Release. While it cooks, toast the 4 brioche buns and fry the 8 rashers of bacon, if using.

To make the chive aioli, finely chop the reserved chives and ¼ clove garlic, then stir through 3 tbsp mayonnaise. Once the pressure has released, allow the egg patties to cool slightly, then carefully remove them using a clean dishcloth.

Spread the chive aioli on the base of each bun. Top with an egg patty and two slices of bacon. Close with the top bun and serve immediately.
