- Pressure Cook Eggs: Pressure cook at-1 - 2 eggs: Low Pressure 5 minutes, then Quick Release-4 eggs: Low Pressure 4 minutes, then Quick Release-6 eggs: Low Pressure 3 minutes, then Quick Release*Pro Tip: For jumbo (XL) eggs, add an extra minute to the pressure cooking time.Open the lid carefully. Immediately place the eggs in a cold water bath.
- Peel Soft Boiled Eggs: Gently peel the eggs under cold running tap water. It is easier to start with the wider end.
- Create Egg Brulee: With a paring knife, cut eggs in half. Add a pinch of table salt and ~ ½ tsp granulated sugar for every half of the eggs. When ready to serve, use a culinary torch to melt the sugar until it caramelizes evenly to form a hard crispy top.
- Serve: Serve immediately. We think you and your family will enjoy these scrumptiously adorable egg brulee :)
Notes
*Pro Tip: For better results, season and caramelize each half egg individually because the sugar will melt on the eggs after a prolonged period.
