How To Make Instant Pot Egg Loaf

Here are the simple instructions for making this instant pot hard boiled egg loaf:

Step One: Add Water And Trivet Into The Instant Pot

Add a cup of water to the bottom of the instant pot bowl.

Step Two: Prepare Your Egg Loaf

Spray your bowl with nonstick cooking spray, or brush with olive oil, then crack your eggs into the bowl.

Step Three: Place Your Pan Into The Instant Pot

Then cover the bowl with a paper towel and aluminum foil, set the pan on top of the trivet, and set the cooking time on high pressure for 4 minutes; remember to move the pressure valve to the sealing position. ; When the time is up, do a natural pressure release to eliminate the remaining pressure.

Step Four: Cool Your Eggs

When all the pressure has been let down, remove the eggs and place them into a small bowl with cold water and an ice cube or an ice bath for a few minutes, then place them on the cutting board and dice the eggs up.

Then just put it on the cutting board and chop it up.

Hard boiled egg loaf instant pot recipe tips

• Prepare the Ingredients: Use fresh, large eggs for the best texture. Ensure other ingredients like vegetables, cheese, or meats are pre-cooked or chopped as needed.
• Use a Proper Pan: A 7-inch or 8-inch round or loaf pan that fits inside the Instant Pot works best. Ensure it’s oven-safe and fits comfortably on the trivet or rack.
• Grease the Pan: Lightly grease the pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make it easier to remove the loaf.
• Mix Ingredients Well: For a uniform texture, mix the eggs and other ingredients thoroughly. Season well with salt, pepper, and any herbs or spices you like.
• Add Water to the Instant Pot: Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot’s inner pot to create steam.
• Use a Trivet: Place the trivet or steam rack in the Instant Pot. This elevates the pan above the water, ensuring even cooking.
• Cover the Pan: If your pan doesn’t have a lid, cover it tightly with aluminum foil. This helps prevent excess moisture from dripping into the loaf.
• Adjust Cooking Time: Cook on high pressure for about 25-30 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on the size and thickness of the loaf. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick or knife into the center; it should come out clean.
• Allow Natural Pressure Release: Let the Instant Pot release pressure naturally for about 10 minutes before performing a quick release. This helps the loaf set and reduces the risk of it collapsing.
• Cool Before Slicing: Let the egg loaf cool slightly before removing it from the pan. This makes it easier to slice and helps it hold its shape.
• Experiment with Add-ins: Customize your egg loaf with various add-ins like cooked bacon, cheese, spinach, bell peppers, or herbs for added flavor and texture.
• Storage: Store leftover egg loaf in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. It can also be frozen in slices for up to three months.
