Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork sausage of your choice
- 4 egg large
- ⅔ cup chicken broth reduced-sodium
- ⅔ cup cheddar cheese 2 1/2 ounces, shredded
Instructions
- Set your Instant Pot to "sauté" and cook the sausage, breaking it up as it cooks, until it's no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, chicken broth, and cheese. Once the sausage is cooked, combine it with the egg mixture. Remove the sausage drippings from the Instant Pot liner and rinse it, if desired.
- Generously spray a 7-inch metal cake pan with cooking spray. Pour the egg mixture into it.
- Place a trivet into your Instant Pot and pour in 1 cup of water. Carefully place the filled cake pan into the Instant Pot.
- Put the lid on the Instant Pot, set the valve to "sealing," and cook on manual high pressure for 28 minutes, until the eggs are set. Release the pressure manually when the timer goes off. If there is a layer of fat on top of the eggs when you open the Instant Pot, blot it off with a paper towel.
- After the pressure is released, let the dish sit in the Instant Pot for 10 minutes, then gently remove the pan.
- Slice and serve.
