Instant Pot Scrambled Eggs is an easy and tasty recipe that will give you a boost in the morning and will make you feel good about yourself since you ate something healthy and not just sugar.
Add a piece of bread and get a nutritious breakfast in only 5 minutes!
Can I use Instant Pot mini to make this recipe?
Sure! 3-quarts is enough and you can use any small pressure cooker for this recipe. No need to take out the big pots…
Do I need to use the pressure cooking function?
No. This pressure cooker scrambled eggs recipe is very simple, and made using the Saute option only. So no need to wait the Instant Pot to create pressure.
How to prevent eggs from sticking to the pressure cooker?
After you press “saute”, wait for the Instant Pot to displays “Hot” on the screen.
That way you will make sure the butter melts \ the oil is ready.
If you add the eggs too soon, you will need to scratch eggs from the bottom of the pot, and it’s not fun at all.

Wow that was super easy! Next time I will try adding the cheese.
What do we do with the cheese?
It was just a typo. Now I have mentioned in the instructions.

Do your eggs stick in pan? Mine did even with generous butter
Trying to perfect for a camping trip
I used PAM instead of the butter
Sounds good. You can also use oil or canola oil instead of the butter.
If you use Pam did the eggs still stick to the pan????
They shouldn’t stick if you use PAM. Make sure to fully coat the bottom and lower sides of the pot to ensure they don’t stick.
Can I make it without the milk? My son is lactose intolerant…
Yes you can. Just remove it replace the butter with 2 tbsp canola oil.
You can use water instead. I scramble eggs with water instead of milk all the time.
Great recipe! I like that you didn’t use the pressure cooker option like many other websites did.
For cooking eggs the saute button is enough.
Exactly. Simple is better ^_^
I’m So glad to hear it! I wish you many more recipes in the future…
Hi,
New to this site today. I’m a bit confused about how using the I.P. is any different than using a simple frying pan which is quite a lot less to clean. Thanks for any help with this. : )
I was wondering that myself. . . ? My non-stick frying pan works just as well and isn’t as awkward to clean afterward. . . .
As I was saying breakfast for my girls this morning I discovered that my propane had run out…
Then I thought, certainly between the instant pot and the air fryer I can work something out.
Thanks for paying this recipe. I found it very useful this morning.
Glad you like it 🙂 Yes it’s a great solution for an easy breakfast….
Some people live in places with no cooktops. Other people want to camp or live in an RV and don’t want to use propane. The instant pot is very useful in cooking in these situations.
Exactly 🙂 That’s why I’m loving it soooo much!!
Frying anything on a cooktop causes splatter. Which means cleaning the stove 3 times a day. No thanks. If I can use the IP to fry/cook instead of the stove I will.
I am so glad that I found this, I am getting ready to go over the road in a simi truck with my husband and am going to just have a 3 qt instant pot and a roadpro lunch box oven to cook in so this is a great way to make eggs and bacon in the lunchbox.
So happy you like it 🙂 Enjoy your road trip!
As a solider who hasn’t been able to eat much of any good brekfests in months thank you so much for letting me know this can be done! Absolute life saver.
So happy I could help 🙂
I’m new to Instant Pot cooking, other than steel cut oats. These eggs were delicious and easy! Thanks for all of the recipes. I can’t wait to try more!! Two thumbs up!
Thank you so much!
Corrie, on the sauté function you say to wait until ‘Hot’ appears. My 6qt Duo has the selections ‘normal’, ‘less’ and ‘more’ for sautéing. Am I correct that this recipe will use ‘normal’? As I’m getting more and more into using the sauté button, I’m reading recipes that state which sauté level to use. Thank you for your fail-proof recipes.
Yes, you are correct. ‘Hot’ will appear when the preheat is completed.
These scrambled eggs are great. A+++++++++++++++
So happy you love them! I do too 🙂
THANK YOU! Our kitchen is being renovated right now, which means my only cooking options are the IP, microwave, and an air fryer. Stove is totally unavailable!! I missed eggs and this helped. Thanks!!
Thanks. I moved into a new place without a cooktop/oven, so my mom gifted me an Instant Pot. Looking forward to trying this tomorrow morning since I’ve been missing breakfast since I moved here a few weeks ago and have only been eating cold breakfast, or ordering in which is getting pricey.
What a great gift! The Instant Pot is a lifesaver for homes without a cooktop. I really hope you like the recipe!
Waiting on replacement stove.
Your recipe allows me to cook eggs in the morning using my IP.
That’s great to hear! The Instant Pot is so helpful in these situations.
