I know, I know, you see my organized fridge on my Instagram, and my weekly meal plan in the Confessions of a Meal Plan Addict Community and think I am soooo organized.
Well, I am. But, I also wing it from time to time - and that is usually on Fridays when I am off from my 9-5 job and trying new things in my Instant Pot.
I am teaching a ton of Instant Pot Masterclasses here in Airdrie, Alberta at Social Supper and we are always looking at ways to shake up the menu and teach some non dinner ideas for the Instant Pot - so I opened my fridge and ran with what I already had.... and what a win!
This month, we decided to switch up our breakfast demo and add in a frittata. Here is the gem of a recipe we landed on!
To do this frittata, you need a springfrom pan. I have this one, and it fits well with the 6 quart pots, and the trivets that come with the pot.
Excuse the not so great photo, but I had not intended to post this recipe, so I didn't take a great photo of my set up!
The set up is simple. In a bowl, mix your frittata ingredients, and then transfer to your springform pan, cover with foil and place into your pot, on a trivet!
I use to think that this was a weekend menu item as it requires more time than I have on any morning. But, given this makes more than a single serving, I can easily use this as a meal prep recipe and have breakfasts for a few days.
I like to add a fruit, and bump up the protein even more with cottage cheese, but the possibilities are endless! You can eat your frittata cold, or heat it up.
I am currently obsessed with these meal prep containers, so it seems like everything goes into them!

So, there you have it, a BREAKFAST Instant Pot recipe.... because I can't be the only one who has now forgot how to use a stove and oven!

I just made this and after it cooked realized I did not cover it with foil. It's a little flat, but otherwise appears firm. Will not covering it with foil make it inedible in any way or not allow it to cook properly? I don't want to make anyone sick! 🙂
Steph says
The foil is just to keep moisture out. You can eat it.
