Ingredients

4 large eggs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 slices bread
4 teaspoons unsalted butter

Instructions

Pour 1 cup of water into your Instant Pot. Place a trivet or egg rack inside, then gently arrange the eggs on top. Secure the lid, ensuring the pressure valve is set to Sealing. Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes, allowing 5-10 minutes for the pressure to build naturally.
Quick release the pressure by carefully moving the valve from Sealing to Venting, using a kitchen towel for protection. Once depressurized, remove the lid and transfer the eggs to an ice bath for 2 minutes to halt the cooking process.
Toast your favorite bread and spread generously with butter. Slice the toast into strips, ready for dipping.
Gently crack the tops of the eggs with a spoon and remove the upper shell. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with the buttered toast strips for a delicious and comforting meal.
