Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

 

I'd like to dedicate this post to my Mom and siblings who have an Instant Pot but never use it because they don't know what to make in it.  I'm still learning new things myself, but these eggs are something I make frequently and they are so easy to do.  Plus, it's totally hands off so you don't have to sit and babysit a pot of boiling water and they peel so easily! It's handy to have hard boiled eggs on hand for sandwiches (have you tried the Egg Salad Sandwich with Bacon and Cheddar Cheese yet ?) , salads, deviled eggs, or just to snack on! I tend to grab one of these in the late afternoon when it's too close to dinner to eat something big but I want a protein packed snack to tide me over.  Hope you'll give these a try!

Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

Ingredients:

8 eggs

1 cup cold water

Directions:

Plug in instant pot and place trivet in the bottom with the handles up.  Pour cold water into the bottom.  Place the eggs on top of the trivet being careful not to touch the sides.  

Secure lid in place and turn the knob on top to the Seal position.  

Push Manual and adjust time to 5 minutes.  The Instant Pot will start counting down from 5 once it reaches the correct temperature.  Once it beeps, leave the eggs in there for 5 more minutes.  

Meanwhile, prepare a bowl of ice water.

Once the timer on the Instant Pot gets to 5 again, move the knob to vent being careful to avoid the steam coming out.  After the pressure has released, remove the lid and use tongs to take the eggs out.

Place eggs in ice water for 10 min.  

That's it!
