    Scrambled eggs is a dish made from eggs, butter, salt and sometimes with other ingredients like black pepper, cayenne pepper, spring onions and others. It is a simple dish that is quick and easy and usually served as breakfast. Scrambled eggs can be cooked in the microwave, stovetop or in the instant pot like this recipe.

    Instant Pot Scrambled eggs

    This is one of the easiest instant pot recipes you'll ever make and it's perfect. It takes 2 minutes or less using the saute mode of the instant pot and no need to pressure cook. The saute mode of the instant pot ensures equal heat distribution which makes it a great gadget for making scrambled eggs. This recipe was made using my instant pot duo 7 in 1 6 quart but you can make it in any of the other sizes.

    Is scrambled eggs healthy?

    Depending on the recipe and how it's cooked, scrambled eggs are generally healthy. Eggs are high in protein, low in fat and are one of the healthiest foods to eat. It is also weightloss friendly. One egg has approximately 78 calories. To even make scrambled eggs healthier, you can cook with low fat cooking spray or healthy oils like olive oil instead of butter.
