Notes

    • Cooking times depend on your preference. If you like your eggs less set, then reduce the cooking time by 3-4 minutes. For more set eggs, cook for a further 3-4 minutes.
    • Chop and measure all your ingredients before you start. This will make the cooking process smoother and quicker.
    • Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your liking. If you prefer a spicier casserole, add more paprika or some crushed red pepper flakes.
    • When whisking the eggs and milk, avoid overmixing. Just blend until they are combined to maintain a fluffy texture.
    • To ensure the casserole is cooked through, insert a toothpick or a knife into the center. It should come out clean when the casserole is ready.
    • Let the casserole rest for a few minutes after cooking. This allows it to set and makes it easier to slice.
    • Cooking times do not include the amount of time it takes for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure.
    • There are 4 Blue Plan SmartPoints in each serving of this.
