  • 2 cups water, or as needed

  • 8 fresh eggs

Directions

  1. Fill a pressure cooker with the minimum amount of water specified by the manufacturer. Place eggs in the steamer basket above the water. Seal the lid and bring the pressure cooker up to low pressure.

  2. Cook, maintaining low pressure, for 6 minutes. Remove the pressure cooker from heat and allow the pressure to drop for 5 minutes.

Recipe Tip

Letting the pressure cooker reach high pressure will cause eggs to crack.
