Poached Eggs in the Pressure Cooker

There’s something special about a lazy Sunday breakfast.  The kettle boiling, the smell of toast, and perfectly poached eggs on the plate. The good news? You don’t need to fuss with simmering water or risk broken yolks to enjoy them at home. These poached eggs in the pressure cooker are hands-off, foolproof and ready in just minutes.

Using your Instant Pot or pressure cooker means you can have café-style poached eggs without standing over the stove. Serve them on toast, English muffins or buttery sourdough with all your favourite toppings.  Think smashed avocado, crispy bacon, smoked salmon or creamy hollandaise.

This method is a game-changer for busy mornings, weekend brunch or even meal prep for the week. Once you try pressure cooker poached eggs, you’ll never go back!
