Serves: 6 egg pots
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 3 minutes (plus pressure release)
Appliance: Instant Pot Multicooker
Ingredients
- 7 medium eggs
- 40 g cream cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Filling inspiration (add 1½ tbsp per jar):
- Air-fried chorizo & sautéed spinach
- Mozzarella, pesto & sun-dried tomatoes (Caprese style)
- Crispy bacon & cheddar cheese
Preparation Method
- Crack the eggs into a jug or bowl. Add cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and fully combined. Set aside.
- Prepare your desired fillings and divide 1½ tablespoons of filling into each of your 6 heat-safe jars (4 oz / 114 ml canning jars).
- Pour in the egg mixture until each jar is about two-thirds full, allowing space for expansion under pressure.
- Cover each jar with its lid (do not tighten). If using ramekins instead of jars, cover tightly with foil.
- Place the trivet into your Instant Pot’s inner pot and add 250 ml water. Position the jars on the trivet. You may need to stack them in a pyramid or cook in batches.
- Secure the lid and select Pressure Cook → Low Pressure → set to 3 minutes. Once done, allow 6 minutes natural release, then quick release the rest.
- Carefully remove the lid. When cool enough to handle, remove the jars. Once fully cooled, tighten the lids and store in the fridge.
