Posted by My husband absolutely loves poached eggs.I’ve started making them in the Instant Pot and they are super easy, quick to make and they look so perfect every time.

INGREDIENTS
- 4 Extra Large or Large Eggs, cold from the fridge
- Avocado Oil or Olive Oil
- 4 Silicone Egg Poachers
METHOD
- 1) Use your fingers or a brush to coat the entire inside of each mold with a little oil. Crack 1 egg into each silicone cup and place them onto the trivet. Pour exactly 1 Cup of water into your Instant Pot, lower the trivet into the pot and seal the lid.
EXTRA LARGE EGGS: Choose High Pressure / Manual and set for 3 minutes. As soon as the timer is up, immediate switch the knob to venting, when the pin drops, open the lid and carefully lift out the trivet.
LARGE EGGS: Choose High Pressure / Manual and set for 2 minutes. When timer is up, wait 30 seconds and switch the knob to venting, when the pin drops, open the lid and carefully lift out the trivet. (use a timer on your phone so they don’t overcook)
***Venting at the correct time is very important, even a 30 second delay will start to overcook the eggs. Use a large spoon to help remove the eggs from the mold. Place on top of a piece of toast, sprinkle on some salt & pepper and add a dab of butter on top. Enjoy!
*This recipe is designed for the silicone egg poachers, if you use something else like ramekins – you’ll need to experiment with cooking times since other materials will conduct heat differently. Living in higher elevation will also affect your cooking times. Don’t use a steamer basket to hold the poachers, it will change the cooking time.
