Pressure Cooker Frosted Egg Cupcakes Frittata makes a fun breakfast for the whole family and is a great take along breakfast.
How cute are these individual “Frosted” Egg Cupcakes? It’s just a cute little way to make Frittatas or a Quiche. My dad’s wife is Cuban and growing up in Miami, I enjoyed Cuban food. Cubans make a delicious Frittata on the stove with eggs and potatoes, always potatoes and seasonings!
I thought I would make individual servings in my Pressure Cooker, so that each person can add their own cheese and/or meat and seasonings. It is a great high protein, low carb, Keto diet breakfast.
For this recipe, I used three types of cheese; Extra Sharp Cheddar, Munster and Oaxaca, which is a Mexican melting cheese. Mozzarella and Monterey Jack are close cousins to Oaxaca. Get creative and use whatever cheese you like. Make sure to set some aside to use as the “Frosting.”
If you would like to make one large Frittata, try my Pressure Cooker Spanish Tortilla {Quiche} and perhaps a tasty Pressure Cooker French Toast {Bread Pudding} and serve them at the table, for a nice leisurely breakfast or brunch.
Since it is Father’s Day and my husband loves bacon (would you believe that I am not a lover), I opted to use bacon, but sausage, turkey, ham, any kind of meat will work. Even leftover steak, chicken or other meat leftover from dinner.
Whisk up the eggs with the cream really well and then add the fillings. I just mixed everything together since we were going to have the same fillings in our “Cupcake.”
It is easier to just mix the eggs, Homemade Seasoned Salt and cream first and then pour it in the Wide Mouth Mason Jars. Each person can then add their fillings to their individual Cupcake.
I love using these little Kerr Half Pint (8 oz) Mason Jars since they are wide mouth and easy to eat out of, as your spoon can reach all the areas….there are no corners. Plus, they are easy to clean, being short and all. The sponge just fits right in there so easily.
Add water and a trivet to your Pressure Cooker cooking pot and place the four Cupcakes. Set your time on your Pressure Cooker and go get ready for the day.
I have allowed a shorter cook time, with a longer Natural Release time, so that the Cupcakes won’t over cook and become dry.
Another delicious breakfast your whole family may enjoy is my Pressure Cooker Blueberries and Cream Steel Cut Oats.
When you are ready to eat, open the lid and frost with the reserved cheese and scallions. Gently set the cover of your Pressure Cooker back on your Pressure Cooker for about a minute to give the cheese a chance to melt.
Screw on the cover and grab a Pressure Cooker Frosted Egg Cupcakes Frittata for the road.
I like to eat my Frosted Egg Cupcake with a Bagel! Yum! Pressure Cooker Southern Style Cheese Grits are also make a very tasty breakfast. Enjoy!
