Looking to make the fluffiest, most delicious eggs ever? Then these Instant Pot scrambled eggs are for you! So easy and so convenient, this method of cooking eggs is a total game changer.

What Make This Recipe So Good

  • The Instant Pot gives you scrambled eggs that are as soft and fluffy as can be! Even though you’re not sealing the lid on the pot with this method, you’ll still get a little steam effect from the tall sides. The steam keeps the eggs moist and so delicious – so much fluffier than a skillet!
  • You’re probably looking at this wondering why you’d make eggs in the Instant Pot instead of just the stovetop or even the microwave. Well, besides the perfect texture, the Instant Pot is SO easy and convenient. Maybe your kitchen’s out-of-order for some reason, or your stove’s on the fritz. Maybe you’ve got a small kitchen or you’re travelling in an RV. Whatever your reason, you’ll be thrilled to have this option.
  • These recipe is low carb and keto-friendly. You can also modify it easily to be Whole30/paleo or dairy-free. You’ll just need to use non-dairy milk and ghee or avocado oil instead of the butter.

Chef’s Tips

  • Stir the eggs often and gently with a silicone or rubber spatula. That will help the curds form, which is how you get that perfect texture and fluffiness.
  • The actual cook time here is a little loose. It just depends on your preferred scrambled egg consistency! In general, you want to cook the eggs until you don’t see any liquid. The eggs should still be a little wet-looking, but they shouldn’t be sitting in liquid. Typically that only takes 1 to 2 minutes. If you like firmer eggs, keep cooking for another 30-60 seconds.

      If you read the post, we talk about some of the reasons why someone might need an alternate cooking method. Sometimes there’s no access to a stovetop/fry pan!
