Instant Pot Egg Loaf Recipe

This Instant Pot Egg Loaf [hard boiled eggs] is the perfect method for making Egg Salad. It will change your life and rock your World.

Instant Pot Egg Loaf [Pressure Cooker]

Instant Pot Egg Loaf [Pressure Cooker]

Peeling Eggs can be such a chore.

My Pressure Cooker Easy Hard Boiled Eggs recipe is one of the most talked about in the Instant Pot Community.

It’s still a great recipe for cooking Hard Boiled Eggs in the Shell. Like for bringing on Picnics as a snack. The Eggs literally jump out of the shells on their own.

But, what if you could avoid that one step? Would you do it?

 

Cast of Ingredients for Pressure Cooker Hard Boiled Egg Loaf

Cast of Ingredients for Instant Pot Egg Loaf [Pressure Cooker]

This method will rock your World! It has made my life easier, as we love Egg Salad in this house.

Use a loaf pan or a round pan, whatever size fits into your Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker.

This method is PERFECT for my Pressure Cooker Summer Picnic Potato Salad. Check the recipe, as this method has been incorporated into recipe!

 

Grease the Fat Daddio's Loaf Pan

Grease the Loaf Pan

This is the single most important step! Why – try eliminating it and get back to me. 🙂

Use an Oil Mister with Oil (I like to use Grapeseed Oil or Coconut) and spray the Loaf Pan well.

You can also just rub some oil into the cute little Loaf Pan. Grease it well.

The Mini Loaf Pans are great if you want to use my Pressure Cooker Turkey Meatloaf for mini Loaves!

 

 

Salt and Pepper the Eggs

Salt and Pepper the Eggs

You can see in my Small 5.5 Inch Loaf Pan, the Egg Loaf will be thick. Had I used a larger or round pan, the eggs would be spread out more and the cook time OR the Natural Pressure Release (meaning, doing nothing, but waiting) time, would be shorter.

You can use as many eggs as will fit. Make sense? If not, let me know in the comments below and I will update this recipe to further explain.

If you want to add Salt and Pepper, by golly, just do it! You can also use my Homemade Seasoned Salt.

Or, don’t add any seasonings.

 

No Peel Hard Boiled Eggs

No Peel Hard Boiled Eggs

While we are talking about eggs, which you don’t have to peel, how about this cute little Instant Pot No Peel Hard Boiled Eggs recipe? You don’t have to use a pan for the eggs and it is another use for your silicone egg bites trays/mold.

 

Place Loaf Pan of Eggs in Pressure Cooker

Place Loaf Pan of Eggs in Pressure Cooker

Is this not the easiest thing ever?

Like in the history of the World?

Instant Pot Egg Loaf [Pressure Cooker] will change the way you think of egg salad!

 

Perfectly Cooked Hard Boiled Eggs Loaf

Perfectly Cooked Hard Boiled Eggs

Look Ma, no green rings!!!

Assuming you are cooking in the mini 5.5 Inch Loaf pan, you will need to let the Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker sit for an extra minute, before releasing the pressure.

If you are cooking 6 Eggs in the 6.37 Inch Loaf Pan, less time will be needed, until you release the Pressure. This is the size I use for my Pressure Cooker Greek Gyros!

Why? – Because the more Eggs you use (in whatever size Pan you use), the thicker the Pressure Cooker Hard Boiled Egg Loaf will be.

Obviously, if using a larger Pressure Cooker, you can use up to a 7.5 Inch Loaf Pan. It is the perfect size for my Simply Delicious Buttermilk Banana Bread.

You may need to experiment to find your Perfect time!

 

Chop Up the Eggs

Chop Up the Eggs

Your Pressure Cooker Hard Boiled Egg Loaf is ready to be chopped.

Wanna see what I do instead of chopping?

 

Push the Loaf Though a Baking Rack

Push the Loaf Though a Baking Rack

For nice little cubes, use a Baking Rack and push the Egg Loaf through.

At this point, you might be questioning how you go about saving these Pressure Cooker Hard Boiled Egg Loaf cubes in the refrigerator.

After all, you been making Hard Boiled Eggs the Old Fashion Way.

The Eggs in Shells stay nice and fresh in the fridge.

 

Chopped Eggs Ready to Use on a Whim

Chopped Eggs Ready to Use on a Whim

I use a Reditainer BFA Free Container to store my Eggs after chopping

I can easily grab whatever I need and pop it into my Salad, whenever I want.

    Clever! I’m not a fan of egg salad, but am a huge fan of potato salad, and this will make that so much easier to make from here forward. I do “boil” my eggs in the IP egg bites mold, having found that on Pinterest last week, and what a huge difference it is not to have to clean the shells off the eggs! I’m going to get a proper size pan for my 6 qt. IP tomorrow and try your method of cooking the eggs–and then, potato salad for supper Saturday night!!

    What size Instapot are you using? I have a 3 quart Instapot and I have not had a chance to check out all of my mini pans (loaf, rounds, etc.) to see if they will fit. If I am doing it in a 3 quart, will that change the cooking time at all?

    Do the eggs rise at all? I don’t want to run the risk of having the loaf overflow.

    I just though I would tell you that I forgot to spray oil my (glass) dish for this, but it was not a problem at all. It might have made it even easier. I mashed up the cooked egg wth a fork and added my additional egg salad ingredients right into the dish. It was easy and delicious!

      I Tried using foil for a sling to easily get a pan out, it only last 3 uses before breaking. Would hate to waste food for foil breaking after multiple uses. They do work for using.
