Instructions

  • Place the trivet in the Instant Pot and pour in 1 cup water.
  • Spray a 7-inch round springform pan with cooking spray.
  • Crack 8 eggs into the prepared springform pan without whisking or mixing them.
  • Set the springform pan on the trivet inside the Instant Pot. Close the lid and set to cook at high pressure for 5 minutes.
  • When the cook time ends, allow a natural pressure release for 2 minutes, then perform a quick release to fully depressurize.
  • Carefully remove the springform pan from the Instant Pot (use oven mitts). Let the eggs cool completely in the pan at room temperature.
  • Once cooled, remove the eggs from the pan and chop them to your desired size.
  • Transfer the chopped eggs to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  • Add 1/4 cup mayonnaise and 1/4 cup Greek yogurt to the bowl and mix until combined.
  • Stir in 1/4 teaspoon dried mustard and 1/4 teaspoon paprika until evenly distributed.
  • Add 1/4 cup chopped celery and fold until everything is well combined.
  • Serve the egg salad as desired (for example, on multigrain bread or on lettuce).

Notes

Use the freshest eggs you can, and if possible use free run / organic.
Test the freshness of your eggs in a bowl of water. Fresh eggs will sink to the bottom and old eggs will float to the top.
Allow the eggs to cool completely before chopping them into pieces.
