These instant pot eggs using the 5-5-5 method are absolutely delicious, easy to make, and they come out perfect every single time!

this is a top view of my instant pot eggs using the 5-5-5 method served with everything but the bagel seasoning, cottage cheese and honey and raspberries in a glass bento box.

These instant pot eggs are perfect for meal prep. I make them ahead of time and store them in a glass bento box as part of a balanced breakfast or snack to enjoy throughout the week! I served mine with cottage cheese, honey and some raspberries for an extra high protein breakfast!

This method is also great if you are making deviled eggs or any recipe that requires hard boiled eggs!

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Grab your instant pot and then add in your stainless steel trivet. Add 1 Cup of water into the inner pot.
Carefully place 6-12 eggs onto the trivet in an even layer.
Set your instant pot on high for 5 minutes. Once the timer is complete, allow the pot to naturally release for 5 minutes and then hit the quick release button to release the remaining pressure.
While your eggs are cooking, create an ice bath by adding 4 cups of cold water and 2 cups of ice to large bowl. Once your eggs have finished cooking and you release the remaining pressure, carefully transfer the eggs into the ice bath and let them sit for 5 minutes before peeling the eggs. Enjoy!

Hint: I like to rinse my eggs off to remove any shell tracings that could be left over! It also helps to bring them to room temperature sooner so that I am easily able to store them!

Eggs are naturally gluten-free, dairy-free and lacto-ovo-vegetarian friendly!
