Keto Steamed Eggs in the Instant Pot

These Keto Steamed Eggs are my favourite way to eat eggs, and cooking them in the Instant Pot makes it super easy. It’s a very comforting meal and a good way to start the day. You can add variety by substituting milk or water for the broth. I like to drizzle sesame oil on top but you could use olive oil or melted butter, your favourite seasonings, or green onions. The last time I made this, I added bacon to the mixture before cooking it and it was fantastic. Be creative!

If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can make these Keto Steamed Eggs in a rice steamer, a bamboo steamer, vegetable steamer or just a pot of water with a lid. You just have to be available to keep an eye on it so that you don’t overcook it. It should be set but somewhat ‘jiggly’ like creme brulee. This makes a very generous portion. You could also split this into 2 smaller servings and use ramekins.

Notes

Variations:

You can use water or milk/cream instead of broth and add other seasonings that you like. Green onions on top is delicious. Sometimes I add bacon to the egg mixture (yum).

If you don't have an Instant Pot, place the bowl in a pot (no need to cover the bowl with tinfoil), and fill the pot with water so that it comes half way up the sides of the bowl. Cover with a glass lid so you can keep an eye on it. Cook over low-medium heat at a gentle simmer for about 12-15 minutes, until just set but still jiggly.
