Description

Instant Pot poached eggs are an easy, hands-off way to get perfectly set whites and soft, runny yolks every single time. No swirling water, no guessing, and no stress—just reliable breakfast eggs in minutes.

Ingredients 

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Pour 1 cup water into the Instant Pot insert and place the trivet inside.
  • Lightly spray six silicone egg cups or ramekins with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  • Crack one egg into each prepared cup. Season lightly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add 1 teaspoon white vinegar if desired.
  • Carefully place the 6 large eggs cups on the trivet. Stack only if your trivet allows stable placement.
  • Lock the lid, set the valve to sealing, and cook on High Pressure for 4 minutes.
  • Once cooking is complete, carefully perform a quick pressure release.
  • Use tongs to remove the egg cups. Gently loosen edges with a spoon and slide eggs out. Serve immediately.
