Summary

Individual egg frittatas packed with veggies and topped with cheddar cheese make a perfectly-portioned breakfast! The Instant Pot does most of the work for you, and produces perfectly-cooked, tender frittatas. You can enjoy them right away, or make them ahead of time for weekday breakfasts on the go.

Trying to cut carbs? Instead of corn, use any other nonstarchy vegetable you have on hand. Frittatas are a great way to use up leftover veggies before they go bad.

  2. Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, thyme and 1/4 tsp. salt in a 2-cup measuring cup with a spout or a medium bowl and slowly pour over each serving. Coat four 6-inch squares of foil with cooking spray and cover cups individually with a sheet of foil, coated side down.

  3. Add 1 cup water to pressure cooker pot, add trivet and 3 ramekins. Stack the fourth ramekin on top of other ramekins. Seal lid, close valve, press Manual button to 10 minutes. Use a natural pressure release for 10 minutes followed by a quick pressure release.

  4. When valve drops, carefully remove the lid. Remove ramekins and remove foil. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining 1/8 tsp. salt and cheese. Let stand 5 minutes for peak flavors and texture
