These Instant Pot Poached Eggs are fail-proof! They are perfectly cooked in minutes with no hands-on cooking required. Great to make for a crowd without any effort. Easy, delicious, and healthy.

Ingredients

  • Large eggs
  • Cooking spray

Procedure

  1. Spray the egg bites moulds with cooking spray really well.
  2. Add an egg into each of the moulds without breaking a yolk.
  3. Place a trivet inside Instant Pot.
  4. Add 1 cup water to Instant Pot.
  5. Place the egg bites mould with the eggs on the trivet. Do not cover with foil.
  6. Close the lid of your Instant Pot and turn the valve to Sealing.
  7. Press Manual or Pressure Cooker button (depending on your model) and use the arrows to select 4 minutes.
  8. It should take about 5-7 minutes to come to pressure. Might be a bit less depending on your model.
  9. Once the Instant Pot beeps that the 4 minutes of cooking are done, do a natural pressure release for 2 minutes! It means that you just leave your Instant Pot without touching it for 2 minutes, it will count up.
  10. Once 2 minutes of natural pressure release are done, do a quick release. This will take another minute or so.
  11. Carefully remove the egg bites mould. There will be a few drops of condensation liquid on each egg. 
  12. Invert the eggs onto a plate and the condensation will just pour out also.

Different Timing Variations For Poached Eggs Made In Instant Pot

  • Egg bites moulds, 5 minutes: egg yolks aren’t fully cooked but barely runny.
  • Egg bites moulds, 4 minutes: slightly more cooked egg yolk at the edges and runny egg yolk in the middle.
  • Egg bites moulds, 3 minutes: egg whites slightly too runny.

Cook’s Notes

  • Do not cover the eggs with foil. It means that there will be a few drops of water condensation in the moulds/bowls but I just pour it out.
  • Covering eggs with foil will mean that you’d need to add 1-2 extra minutes of cooking time.
