Prep Time: 2 minutes
Cook Time: 3 minutes
Total Time: 8 minutes

ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 eggs

instructions

  • Grease four silicone egg cups or ramekins with cooking spray.
  • Pour water into the insert of the Instant Pot. Place the cooking rack inside.
  • Add the greased cups on top of the rack. Crack one egg into each greased cup.
  • Close the lid and seal. Cook on High pressure for 2 to 4 minutes. At 2 minutes, you will have a completely runny yolk. At 3 minutes, the yolk will be slightly jammy on the edge and the yolk will still be runny. At 4 minutes, the yolk will be slightly runny but more jammy in the middle.
  • Manually release pressure once cooking is done. Gently remove eggs from cups (they should just slide out*) and serve.

notes

*if the eggs don't slide out, gently run a butter knife around the edge of the cups to loosen them. They should easily come out after that. If not, you did not use enough cooking spray to grease the cups.
