PRESSURE COOKER HARD-BOILED EGGS



Pressure Cooker Hard-Boiled Eggs image

If you happen to raise your own chickens or have access to really fresh eggs, a pressure cooker is the best way to make hard-cooked eggs. It doesn't really save time (the pressure cooker's usual claim to fame), but here's why it's great: it actually makes fresh eggs easy to peel!

BROCCOLI SCRAMBLED EGGS- IT'S GOOD, I PROMISE!



Broccoli Scrambled Eggs- It's Good, I Promise! image

Time 13m

1 cup broccoli florets, fresh broccoli or 1 cup frozen broccoli
1 tablespoon water or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
salt & pepper
ketchup
shredded cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oil or water over medium heat in a frying pan (this tastes just as good without the oil, if using frozen broccoli you don't need as much water, spray the pan with cooking spray)
  • In a small bowl beat eggs
  • Add broccoli to the warm frying pan and cover for 2-3 min or until broccoli starts getting soft.
  • Stir occasionally.
  • Pour eggs over broccoli, add S & P to taste and cook until eggs are fluffy and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  • You don't want the broccoli too soft.
  • Add cheese if you like and cover until melted.
  • Serve with ketchup.

Tips:

  • For perfectly cooked broccoli, cut florets into uniform sizes so they cook evenly.
  • Adjust the amount of water in the Instant Pot based on the desired consistency of the eggs: less water for firmer eggs and more water for softer eggs.
  • Add a splash of milk or cream for richer, creamier eggs.
  • Feel free to experiment with different seasonings to create a customized flavor profile. Garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper are just a few ideas.
  • Don't forget to spray the ramekins with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

With a little creativity and the convenience of an Instant Pot, you can prepare a nutritious and flavorful breakfast in a snap. These pressure cooked broccoli egg cups are a perfect example of a quick and easy meal that's packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals. Whether you're starting your day or simply looking for a satisfying snack, these egg cups are a delicious and healthy choice.
