Your Instant Pot is just as useful for summer recipes as it was for heartier cooler weather fare.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<p>From pulled pork to batches of brown rice, I am always finding new easy and fast ways to fuel a crowd of sun-drenched friends and kiddos. You will constantly find me tossing eggs in my instant pot \u2013 here are 5 of my favorite ways to prepare them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Egg-Cellent Match Up<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<p>Eggs are a daily staple in my kitchen. After a morning workout, I crave this complete protein source in an omelet or burrito. Hard-cooked eggs are an easy handheld snack and my family is completely obsessed with&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/danawhitenutrition.com\/2016\/02\/lifting-up-leftovers-pork-fried-rice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fried rice<\/a>&nbsp;for dinner. &nbsp;Eggs not only offer up high-quality protein (ahem, you get it from both the white and the yolk), they are a naturally nutrient-rich choice providing an excellent source of vitamin B12, biotin, iodine, selenium, and choline, and a good source of riboflavin and pantothenic acid. Plus, eggs are one of the only foods that naturally have vitamin D, which is critical for strong muscles and bones.<br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instant Pot Eggs \u2013 5 Ways<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<p>It doesn\u2019t get much easier or faster than these 5 recipes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<p><strong>1. Make-ahead breakfast sandwiches.&nbsp;<\/strong>Place a cracked egg and slice of Canadian bacon into ramekins and pressure cook for 6 minutes. Flip the egg mixture out of the cups and stack on a whole grain roll with baby spinach and a sprinkle of cheese. These sammies can also be made ahead, wrapped and frozen \u2013 just heat and heat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<p><strong>2. Fried Rice Goals.&nbsp;<\/strong>As mentioned above, fried rice is the queen of weeknight dinners at the White Palace. Grab cooked rice, veggies and eggs and create this delightfully satisfying one-pot meal. Check out this recipe for my&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.geniuskitchen.com\/recipe\/instant-pot-shrimp-fried-rice-538611\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instant Pot Shrimp Fried Rice<\/a>&nbsp;featured at Food.com.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<p><strong>3. EZ Peel Hard-Cooked Eggs.&nbsp;<\/strong>Not only is does the Instant Pot allow for cooking in bulk, pressure cooking allows for hands down the most peelable eggs you ever took a crack at. Make a dozen hard-cooked eggs in just a few minutes, then cool, peel and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/danawhitenutrition.com\/2018\/10\/everything-hard-cooked-eggs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">serve with a dusting of everything bagel seasoning<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<p><strong>4. Lightened Up Desserts.&nbsp;<\/strong>Confession time \u2013 I am not a very good baker! But the Instant Pot can help in that department as it is the perfect gadget for no-fail cheesecake and one of the most show-stopping desserts of all time (wait for it\u2026.) cr\u00e8me brulee \u2013 the egg-based custard cooks to perfection in the Instant Pot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<p><strong>5. Savory Oatmeal.&nbsp;<\/strong>Finally, a little something unexpected. Oatmeal can be a sweet way to start your day, but I also love giving it a savory spin. Spinach, sun-dried tomatoes and a sprinkle of cheese take this bowl of oats straight to flavor town and there\u2019s no better way to finish it off than by putting an egg on it!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomato Oatmeal<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<p>Serves: 2<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2 tbsp white vinegar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 large eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 cup uncooked rolled oats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 \u00be cups water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pinch kosher salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 cup fresh baby spinach<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tbsp Parmesan cheese<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 packed-in-oil sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fill a medium sauce pan with cold water, add the vinegar. Bring to a simmer over low heat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Working one at a time, crack an egg into a small bowl, swirl the water in the pan, and then immediately pour the egg into the water. Poach for 3 minutes and then use a slotted spoon to transfer the eff to a plate lined with a paper towel. Repeat with the remaining egg. Set aside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spray the inner pot with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the oats, water, and salt in the pot. Stir well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cover, lock the lid and flip the steam release handle to the sealing position. Select pressure cook (high) and set the cook time for 4 minutes. When the cook time is complete, quick release the pressure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove the lid, add the spinach and Parmesan. Mic well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transfer to serving bowls and top each serving with 1 tablespoon of the sun-dried tomatoes and 1 egg, Serve warm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nutrition Per Serving<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<p>Calories: 226; Total fat: 7g; Saturated fat: 2g; Cholesterol: 97mg; Carbohydrates: 30g; Sugars: 1g; Dietary fiber: 5g; Sugars: 1g; Protein: 11g; Sodium: 205mg<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<p><em>Excerpted from Healthy Instant Pot Cookbook&nbsp;reprinted by permission of Alpha, a division of Penguin Random House LLC.
