Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Poached (Soft Boiled) Eggs

I literally got up and tried this the minute I saw it on Pinterest! When I was a kid soft boiled was my favorite way to eat eggs, but they were messy and there were bits of shell involved... These Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Poached/Soft Boiled Eggs turn out great! But they do require a specialty purchase, the silicone egg cups. I just happened to have the cups because I am kitchen gadget freak tried them years ago using boiling water on the stove, but didn't care for that, the PC makes them perfect. It's so nice to have soft boiled eggs as a breakfast option again:@)

  I've made this 3 minute egg several times now, I might try a 2 minute one next for giggles.
Update to self: Use 2 minutes.

The key to this is timing, we have to be on top of this method so the eggs don't over cook.
  1. 1 C water in vessel.
  2. Spray egg cups with cooking spray, crack one egg into each cup and set on trivet in PC.
  3. Pressure valve set to sealing.
  4. Push the Steam button and select 3 minutes (or 2 for runnier eggs, 4 for more solid eggs, etc).
  5. When beeps, immediately release the pressure and remove the lid (away from the eggs so condensation doesn't drip onto eggs). If you happen to have a little water on eggs dab with paper towel.
  6. Remove eggs from cups with spoon and enjoy!

Eat well and have a happy day:@)
