Ingredients

6 pieces Large eggs
1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Place the trivet or steamer rack into the Instant Pot insert.

Step 2

Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot.

Step 3

Gently place the eggs on the trivet or in a steaming basket, ensuring they do not touch the water.

Step 4

Secure the Instant Pot lid and make sure the valve is set to the 'Sealing' position.

Step 5

Set the Instant Pot to 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' mode, and adjust the timer to 4 minutes for soft boiled eggs with a runny yolk. (For slightly firmer yolks, increase the time to 5 minutes.)

Step 6

Once the cooking time is complete, immediately perform a Quick Release by carefully turning the valve to the 'Venting' position to release the pressure.

Step 7

Carefully remove the eggs from the Instant Pot and place them in an ice bath (a bowl filled with ice water) for 2 minutes to stop the cooking process.

Step 8

Peel the eggs gently and serve warm. Enjoy as-is or use as a topping for dishes like toast or ramen!
