• Have you tried to make Instant Pot hard boiled eggs yet??

Maybe not because you’re not sure how to make them without the eggs rolling around and breaking in the process. Well whether you want to make a few or more than a dozen we have the answer for you here!

Deviled eggs are specific to everyone of course but this is the best way to make deviled eggs in my opinion:

• Make Instant Pot hard boiled eggs (directions below)
• Once done put in a bowl with cold water and some ice cubes
• Take shells off
• Slice in half and remove yolks
• Use a fork to smash yolks, or use food processor for smoother consistency
• Add in with yolks from 14 hard boiled eggs
  • • 3/4 c mayonnaise – not miracle whip and not light
    • 3 tbsp mustard, more or less depending on preference, taste as you go
    • 1/2 dill pickled diced fine, or use relish
    • Spoon into a pint size freezer bag
    • Put into fridge for 1-2 hours
    • Cut tip off
    • Squeeze into egg halves
    • Sprinkle with dill, paprika, and diced chives

Here it is. We made 14 Instant Pot hard boiled eggs all at once in just 6 minutes yesterday and my kids were so excited!

Why is that….well they’re one of their favorite snacks, and they loved deviled eggs too!

• Before finding this Instant Pot 2 tier egg rack steamer I could only make a few hard boiled eggs at a time. That was fine if I was just making a few for the girls after school, but if I wanted to make a lot of deviled eggs or make egg salad sandwiches for all of us one day I had to go thru the process twice.

Now I can hard boiled eggs in bulk using my pressure cooker and I’m ready to create the most delicious appetizer ever!
