3. (Optional) Insert a halved popsicle stick into the cut end of each hot dog segment.
4. Place a hot dog segment in each egg bite mold.
5. Divide cornbread batter amongst the egg bite molds. Tap the mold on the counter to settle the batter and remove any air pockets.

7. Cover loosely with foil, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
8. Using the display panel select the MANUAL function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 5 minutes.
9. When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 5 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
10. Unmold the corn dog bites and serve with ketchup, mustard or other condiments of your choice.
