    Instant Pot Frittata with Sausage, Mushrooms and Feta | The Foodie Eats

    The perfect breakfast, lunch or dinner to feed the whole family. Healthy, light and low-carb.

    Instant Pot Frittata with Sausage, Mushrooms and Feta | The Foodie Eats

    We eat lots of eggs in our household. And I love having them in different ways instead of just scrambled or boiled all the time. A few years ago I discovered the whole idea of frittatas. One of my favorites to make is our Ratatouille Frittata, when I have the time. It's a real show-stopper. But this Instant Pot frittata with sausage, mushrooms, peppers, spinach and feta can be put together in just a few minutes!

    HOW TO MAKE THIS INSTANT POT FRITTATA

    Instant Pot Frittata with Sausage, Mushrooms and Feta | The Foodie Eats

    Using sauté setting... Add sausage to pot and begin browning - breaking up sausage as much as possible and scraping up bits from bottom.

    Meanwhile - Crack eggs into a large mixing bowl.

    Add salt to eggs. Then, using a whisk...

    ...mix until yolks are broken up and fully incorporated.

    Add milk and whisk again...

    ...until eggs are light and airy.

    Once sausage is fully browned...

    ...add mushrooms and peppers to pot.

    Instant Pot Frittata with Sausage, Mushrooms and Feta | The Foodie Eats

    ...and cook for 3-4 minutes. You want mushrooms to release their liquid and then most of that liquid evaporate.

    Turn off power to pot, then add spinach.

    Mix continuously until all spinach is wilted.

    Spray 7-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.

    Add sausage/vegetable mixture to pan.

    Pour eggs over top of sausage/vegetable mixture.

    Instant Pot Frittata with Sausage, Mushrooms and Feta | The Foodie Eats

    Using a fork... gently "mix" in eggs. You're not really mixing, just making sure the eggs reach the bottom of the pan.

    Add feta on top of egg mixture.

    Instant Pot Frittata with Sausage, Mushrooms and Feta | The Foodie Eats

    Cover pan with aluminum foil.

    Instant Pot Frittata with Sausage, Mushrooms and Feta | The Foodie Eats

    Add 1 ½ cups water to pot, along with 3-inch trivet. Place pan on top of trivet and lock lid. Cook for 45 minutes at high pressure.

    Instant Pot Frittata with Sausage, Mushrooms and Feta | The Foodie Eats

    Once cook time is complete, quick-release pressure. Remove lid and aluminum foil, then let cool for a few minutes. Once pan is nearly warm to touch, remove from pot. If using a push pan, push out onto a plate. Slice and serve warm. If using a traditional pan, allow to cool slightly and flip onto plate, or slice an serve straight from the pan.

    And this is the AMAZING Result…

    Notes

    Eggs may seep through some push pans or springform pans. We definitely recommend testing this with water first. If your push pan leaks more than a tablespoon or two, you may need to use a different dish. A greased glass baking dish or a metal baking pan of the same size can be used. Cooking time will be 10 minutes longer if using a thicker glass dish.

      This is a beautiful recipe, which I attempted this evening for dinner. The egg ran right through my push pan, all over the counter. I ended up cooking on stovetop as scrambled eggs, etc. Why does this not run through your pan?? This certainly would have been a five-star rating if I hadn't lost the egg through the bottom of the pan.

        Hey Roz. Sorry for your mishap. I’m not quite sure what the difference could have been. After I put my pan in the IP, I did notice about a tablespoon of egg on the counter, but that’s it. Cooked just fine for us, and we've seen many IP egg recipes that recommend using a push pan. A greased glass baking dish or regular metal baking pan of the same size should work next time, however the cook time may be a bit longer with a thicker glass dish.

      My eggs came right out the bottom also. I have a Fat Daddio push pan. Most of the egg was in the water at the bottom of the ip liner.

        I'm sorry to hear it leaked! A couple tablespoons of egg seeped through our push pan, but most push pans will hold an egg mixture. You can substitute a greased metal pan or a glass baking dish of the same size for the push pan, but cooking time may be longer if using a thicker glass dish.

      Such a great recipe! So easy to make, delicious and a great presentation. Perfect if you are entertaining and want to wow your guests but also great for just the family. We loved it. My push pan leaked too, but I made it again with a regular 7 inch pan and that worked great! I will be adding this to our favorites!

        Glad you enjoyed it! We’ve updated the recipe to advise testing the push pan before using and using a regular 7 inch pan if necessary.

      Nice recipe! My pan didn't leak much, just a little. However, I have a springform bundt pan that could never handle this recipe. It seems that they're pretty much all inconsistently made. Amazon reviews show the same thing. It's kind of hit or miss.

      I'm just wondering why not put foil under the pan. As long as it's not to high up on the pan that should be ok, what do you think?

        My mother-in-law tried that to no avail. It seems to be a manufacturing issue with a lot of the pans. About half of them seal, and the others don't very well. I did find that by flipping the bottom of my push pan, one side seals better than the other.

      Hello I am cooking at this moment the Frittata, but I am surprised by the 45 min to cook with HP. Is that time correct? Normally eggs dont need such a long time?

        Yes, that is correct. There a lot of eggs in the dish, so it will take that whole time for them to set in the middle.

      Since it takes a good amount of time, can any of the steps be prepared ahead of time without compromising the outcome?

      I haven’t tried this yet but will, looks delicious. How about making a seal of butter around the edge or could a piece of parchment paper over the bottom help tighten the seal and leave enough paper to fold back into the seal area (cut off excess paper)? I will make this and use the paper but thought I would put this out there.

      I plan on making this in the morning. I don't have a push pan, but I do have the stackable steamer inserts. Do you think that would work if I divide the recipe in two? And should I change cook time?

      I tried this recipe this morning. It was amazing! I do not have a push pan so I used my stackable steamer pans and separated it into the two pans. Cooked on high pressure for 17 minutes and it came out perfect! Thank you for your the incredible recipe, I will definitely be making this again.

      Hey Gary! So I got all ingredients, had ordered a fat daddy pan about 6 months ago and decided to try it. After reading everything I go to test this pan. Leaked like a sieve both ways of flipping the insert. Man, I was not giving up! This may sound strange, but the mother of invention came out. I had sliced muenster cheese and with the spraying the sides, I could stand the cheese up all around the edge. I have a glass top stove so I put it right on the burner and set a simmer for a couple of minutes. Let it cool after seeing it was where I wanted and let it cool. Prepared all else as instructed. I let the sausage/mushroom/pepper mixture cool down before putting in the "rigged pan" so it wouldn't melt the cheese further. As I poured it all I carefully fixed the eggs with mixture. Topped with Foil and got it into the IP. Well as they say, proof is in the pudding and 45 minutes later, I pulled it out and after a flip flop on a plate, it was perfect!! NO LEAKS. The water was clear and everything intact. The muenster cheese "caulking ring" came off like it was actually a rubber seal! HA! Yes, my name is PERSEVERANCE. It was a good recipe and I enjoyed it very much. -I think I'll go get another pan after all of that. 🙂
