Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup chopped bacon
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs by gently placing 12 large eggs into the Instant Pot's steamer basket or trivet. Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the pot.
- Close the Instant Pot lid, set the valve to sealing position, and select the "Egg" or "Manual" setting. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
- Once cooking is complete, perform a quick pressure release and immediately transfer eggs to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Let cool for 3-4 minutes.
- Carefully peel the eggs under running cold water, ensuring the shells come off smoothly. Pat the eggs dry with paper towels.
- Cut each egg in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks into a medium mixing bowl.
- Mash the egg yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in half of the chopped bacon and half of the green onions into the yolk mixture.
- Using a piping bag or spoon, fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture.
- Garnish the filled eggs with remaining bacon bits and green onions.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
