Instant Pot Poached Eggs

Step 1

Very lightly grease the six wells of the egg bites tray (leaving the center well empty) or six egg poacher cups.

Step 2

Crack an egg in each of the greased wells (or egg poacher cups). Sprinkle on salt and pepper. If using the egg bites tray and butter, place butter in center well. Cover the tray if using butter, otherwise, do not cover the tray or the egg poacher cups.

Step 3

Add 2 cups of water to pressure cooker cooking pot and place in a trivet. Place covered egg bite tray on top of trivet. [If using egg poacher cups, just use 1 cup water and do not cover.]

Step 4

Lock on lid and close pressure valve. Cook at high pressure for 1 minute. When beep sounds, wait 1 minute (for very runny eggs) or 2 minutes (for tighter whites) and then release the rest of the pressure.

Step 5

Remove egg bites tray or egg cups. Use a basting brush, brush butter on toast or English muffin. Use a spoon to remove poached egg from wells and place on top of buttered toast. If using egg poacher cups, turn each cup over on top of buttered toast.
