Tired of complicated recipes? Let's go back to basics with this easy Instant Pot breakfast.
Serve with bread and a fresh salad and enjoy a delicious and nutritious meal.
I know that many egg recipes out there ask you to pressure cook your eggs. In my opinion It's much better and faster to use only the saute function 🙂
For this omelet I'm using mushrooms and onions, but you can add any veggies you like. Some ideas:
Carrots
Zucchini
Tomatoes
Spring onion
Bell Peppers
Here are an example for omelette with cherry tomatoes and onion:
Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes. Take out the cheese and replace the butter with 1 tablespoon of oil.
How to serve?
This recipe works great with grilled cheese sandwich and bacon. You can also check out What To Serve With Omelet for 16 more delicious ideas.

If not Pressure cooking, why use Instant Pot, vs a good fry pan?.
You can take an InstantPot with you on the road and cook in Airbnb rooms and hotels, so long as it's allowed and you have a dry, nonflammable surface you can do it on. We've done this for years and it's made us much more independent and able to eat healthy meals when a stove is not provided.
What setting for saute? High, medium or low?
I think I'd go with medium if you have that option. High also works.
How do you flip it? Is there a trick
Flipping it can be a little tricky sometimes. My advice is to make sure you add enough butter to fully coat the bottom of the pan, and to loosen the edges before flipping. Hope that helps!
Bit confused on #6 instruction, “remove the lid and serve hot.” Did I miss when to put the lid on? If sautéing the lid isn’t used. I’m confused.
Sometimes I do use the glass lid for sauteing but I got your point that it may be confusing 🙂
You don't have to use the regular lid or a lid at all.
