Instructions
here's a step-by-step guide to making a low-carb frittata using an Instant Pot:
- Prepare the Ingredients: Gather 8 large eggs, 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup diced bell pepper, 1/4 cup minced red onion, 1/2 cup chopped spinach, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp chili pepper, and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
- Preheat the Instant Pot: Turn on the Instant Pot and select the "Sauté" function. Allow it to heat up.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add diced bell pepper and minced red onion to the Instant Pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they soften.
- Add Spinach: Add chopped spinach to the Instant Pot and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until wilted.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp chili pepper, and 1/8 tsp black pepper until well combined.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the egg mixture into the Instant Pot over the sautéed vegetables. Stir gently to combine.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the egg mixture.
- Pressure Cook: Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to the sealing position. Select the "Pressure Cook" or "Manual" setting and set the timer for 12 minutes on high pressure.
- Natural Release: Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release for 5 minutes. Then, carefully switch the valve to the venting position to release any remaining pressure.
- Serve: Carefully open the lid of the Instant Pot. The frittata should be set and slightly puffed. Use a spatula to cut it into slices and serve hot.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs or additional cheese if desired.
