- DO THIS DURING THE PRESSURE COOK!
- In a small pot, add cold water, enough to cover all desired eggs.
- When the water boils, add the eggs and cook for 7 minutes.
- When they are finished, plunge them into ice water and leave to sit for 5 minutes.
- Carefully peel off shells while eggs are still in the water, including all membrane.
- Slice into halves and set aside.
Notes
Instead of thawed protein, this recipe can also use precooked/leftover meat. If you shred it before adding it to the pot, you can skip that step. You will also skip the first sauté step.
