What Are Poached Eggs?
Have you ever heard of poached eggs? Have you wondered what they are and how to make them? Poached eggs are a type of egg made by cooking the egg in water or other liquid, like milk. The egg white becomes firm and opaque while the yolk stays runny. They are delicious on toast with some butter! You can serve poached eggs for breakfast or as an appetizer at your next dinner party.
Now you can quickly cook these eggs in the Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot within minutes!

How To Make Instant Pot Poached Eggs
Start by spraying the ramekins with non-stick cooking spray. Then crack the egg into the ramekin.
Then add your trivet to your Instant Pot, and then pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot. Set STEAM for 2 minutes.
If you do not have the steam button yours, you can set it for 2 minutes (manual high pressure). Then do a quick release.
How long does it take to poach eggs in an Instant Pot?
The truth is it will depend on how you like your eggs. Here is a bit of a cheat sheet:
- 5 minutes: Solid Whites/Soft Yolks
- 4 minutes: Soft Whites/Soft Yolks
- 3 minutes: Soft Whites/Runny Yolk
What is the egg setting on instant pot?
The egg setting is ideal for making hard-boiled eggs. It’s programmed for 5 minutes, which will result in hard-boiled eggs.
Why do my eggs explode in the instant pot?
When you cook an egg at high pressure for five minutes, the yolk may overcook. This is especially likely if there are large air bubbles in your boiling water when poaching, so don’t forget those!

DON’T FORGET TO PIN:
These eggs were amazing. I served them with an avocado half and fried prosciutto. The first batch, I didn’t use enough cooking spray, and had to fight to get the eggs out. The second batch I used more, and they slipped out my Pyrex cups beautifully.
