Instant Pot Soft Boiled Eggs

I've been making soft boiled eggs in my Instant Pot, which results in easy to peel eggs, with a perfectly set egg white, and a yolk that is set around the edges but has a little dab of jammy texture in the center. Soft boiled eggs are so easy to prepare in an Instant Pot with consistent results.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water tap or room temperature
  • 8 eggs large

Instructions

  1. Add water to the Instant Pot liner. Place a trivet in the liner and arrange the eggs in a single layer. Cover the pot with the lid and lock it. Select pressure cook (or manual) on high pressure for 3 minutes and press start. At the same time, set a kitchen timer for 11 minutes.

  2. Fill a large bowl halfway with ice and add cold tap water to create an ice water bath, set aside.

  3. When the kitchen timer rings, stand by for the Instant Pot to finish pressure cooking and when it's done, quick release the pressure. When the valve drops, carefully unlock and remove the lid, and use tongs to transfer the eggs to the ice water bath and allow the eggs to chill for 10 minutes.

  4. Serve immediately or refrigerate the eggs.
