You’re 3-7 minutes away from your perfect egg with these instant pot eggs. What are you waiting for?!

Do you love eggs? I think eggs are the perfect food. They’re pure protein, they are delicious, you can meal prep them, and they go with just about everything. I have been boiling eggs since I was a little kid but no more because Instant Pot eggs are here to stay!

This is a how-to guide on how to make the perfect eggs – hard boiled, medium, and soft boiled – every time, quickly and easily in the Instant Pot.

I have to admit, I resisted changing the way I made eggs forever. I mean, it’s so easy to boil eggs in a pot on the stove, am I right? But then, when I tried to up my protein and was eating so many eggs in a week, I decided to meal prep them in the Instant Pot and I have never turned back. It’s SO EASY.

Why you should make eggs in the Instant Pot

I feel like once you try it once, you won’t need convincing, but here are some reasons you should cook your eggs in the Instant Pot:

1. You don’t need to watch the pot. This is a set it and forget it system. You just pop the eggs in, set it, then when it beeps, you know they’re done. With regular boiled eggs you have to monitor the heat source, make sure nothing is boiling over, basically you’re watching a pot. No more, I say! These eggs will release you from all of that.
2. The eggs come out perfect. Do you want hard boiled? Jammy? Soft boiled? Instant Pot eggs come out consistent perfect every single time.
3. Fast. Believe it or not these eggs are (slightly) faster!
4. They peel easily! If you’re constantly googling: how to perfectly peel eggs, this is the answer. The shells practically fall off – at least if you’re hard boiling or medium boiling them. I found that the soft boiled eggs did not peel easily, but if you’re going to be eating them in an egg cup, it doesn’t really matter too much.
5. Meal prep. You can make up to a dozen eggs in one go, perfect for meal prep for all those keto life peeps out there.

How many eggs can I cook in the Instant Pot?

As many as you want! You can make one, or a dozen. You have to make sure the eggs don’t touch the water though because what we’re doing is steaming them. The average sized instant pot will probably fit 6 eggs per layer. Racks will help you if you want to make a bunch of eggs at once.

Do you like soft boiled eggs, medium boiled eggs, or hard boiled eggs?

For me, I like them all! I love a softie egg with toast, jammy eggs to eat on their own, and hard boiled for making deviled eggs. I think the Instant Pot has made me fall in love with eggs all over again.

How long for perfect eggs?

Soft boiled:

For just set whites and a very runny yolk you need 3 minutes on High Pressure.

Medium boiled:

For medium boiled eggs medium firm whites and a jammy yolk you need 5 minutes on High Pressure.

Hard boiled:

For hard boiled eggs with firm whites and a fully set yolk you need 7 minutes on High Pressure.
