INSTRUCTIONS
Hard-Boiled Eggs:
Add 1 cup of water to the pressure cooker pot. Place a trivet, steamer basket, or specialized egg rack inside the pot. Place eggs on top. - Secure and seal the lid. Cook for 5 minutes at high pressure, followed by 5 minutes of natural release. Manually release remaining pressure.
- Uncover. Transfer the eggs to a colander and rinse under cold water for a few minutes.
Deviled Eggs:
- Peel and slice each egg lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the egg yolks into a large mixing bowl, and mash them. Add mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
- Using sriracha in its squeeze bottle, squirt about 1/4 teaspoon of sriracha into each empty egg white.
- Scoop the egg yolk mixture into a small sandwich plastic bag. Cut off a tiny corner, and pipe the filling over each egg white. Alternatively, use a pastry bag and tip.
- Garnish with paprika, chives, and crumbled bacon. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

NOTES & TIPS
Equipment. You don’t need a specialized egg rack to cook perfect hard boiled eggs. You can use a trivet, like the one that came with your Instant Pot (pictured above), or a steam rack. You don’t need a pastry bag and tip in order to pipe the filling into each egg; instead, use a small sandwich plastic bag and cut a small corner of it. Works just as well. Toppings. You can prepare your toppings while the eggs are cooking in the pressure cooker. The bacon will take the longest, and since you only need a small amount (1 slice) for topping, you can simply cook it in the microwave. I usually cover the raw bacon slice with multiple paper towels and microwave for 2 1/2 minutes or until crispy. You may need to microwave for shorter or longer periods of time depending on your particular microwave. Other ways to cook bacon include frying it on a pan or baking it in the oven. Serving. After assembling the deviled eggs and adding toppings, store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Personally, I much prefer the taste of chilled deviled eggs and not the room temperature freshly made ones, so it’s best to plan ahead so that you have time to refrigerate them.
Absolutely delicious and super easy!!
Yay, I’m glad it turned out really well for you!!
If you use more than 6 eggs at a time does the cooking time change?
Hey Rita! The cooking time is the same.
