    Instant Pot Frittata with Spinach and Mushrooms

    At first, I wasn't going to post this Instant Pot Frittata with Spinach and Mushrooms, because I wasn't super happy with the photo.  I should have gotten one of it sliced and from the side so you could see the texture.  But this frittata was so good, I didn't want to have to wait to share until I took better photos!

    I love frittatas.  They are one of my goto "clean out the fridge" easy weeknight dinner.  So, I wanted to find out if a frittata would work in the Instant Pot.  I found this recipe in The Essential Instant Pot Cookbook and it sounded like a good one to try.  I love the spinach mushroom combination.

    The Instant Pot is great for making frittatas!

    Not only did it work, but we loved it!  It was perfectly cooked with a nice texture.  I did note that the ingredients rose to the top, whereas when I make a frittata on the stove, the ingredients tend to sink to the bottom.  I was afraid that I would miss the browned bottom part of the frittata, but I didn't miss it at all - and the ease of using the Instant Pot more than made up for it.

    I plan on redoing some of my favorite frittatas:  Sweet Potato and Baby Spinach Frittata and Swiss Chard Frittata for the Instant Pot.

    Ingredients

    • 12 eggs
    • ½ cup milk
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 2 cups baby spinach
    • 1 cups cremini mushrooms sliced
    • 1 clove garlic minced
    • ¼ cup oil-packed sundried tomatoes chopped
    • ⅓ cup parmesan cheese grated
    • 2 tablespoons parsley chopped, optional for garnish

    Instructions

    • Using butter or non-stick spray lightly coat a 7-cup heatproof glass container.  
    • Create a sling from aluminum foil by folding a 20 inch long piece in half lengthwise twice.  Center the glass container on the sling.  Pour 2 cups of water into the Instant Pot and set the trivet inside.  
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper.  Then stir in the spinach, mushrooms, garlic, tomatoes and cheese. 
    • Pour the mixture into the glass container and cover tightly with foil.  Using the foil sling that you created, lift the container and place it in the pressure cooker on top of the trivet.  Fold over the edges of the sling. 
    • Secure the lid and set the vent knob to sealing.  Using the manual setting set the time to 25 minutes at high pressure. 
    • When the machine beeps, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes and then do a quick pressure release by moving the vent knob to venting.  Open the pot, and remove the container using the sling that you created and heat proof mitts.   Carefully uncover the foil, it will be steamy.  
    • Cut into wedges and sprinkle with parsley to serve.

      Made this, and it tasted delicious!

      Mine did a weird thing where the mushrooms and spinach floated all the top. Anyway to avoid this next time?

        Mine did too. I think it's because the mushrooms and spinach aren't sauteed first. If you wanted to, you could sauté them first then scoop them out and continue with the instructions as written.

      I would love to try this recipe, but I can't figure out the dimensions of the the pan you used. From the pictures (from the top) it looks like the inner pot of my small crock pot. I don't have a casserole that will fit in the IP, though I do have a springform pan.
      Advice?

        You just need a container that can hold 7 cups and fit in your Instant Pot. I used French White Corningwear.

      Thinking of adding some diced (or minced) onion. No? Yes? How much?

        Yes, I think that would work. I think one small yellow onion, diced small would be good!

          So I made it using an onion, but didn't have any sundried tomatoes. Cooked it for 25 mins on high pressure then 10 mins NR then QR. The middle is still "soupy", but it's late/time for bed. Should I put it back into the IP tomorrow morning - after it's been in the fridge over night? If so, how long do you think? And if not, what about microwaving each serving as needed. OR any other suggestions??

          I wonder why it didn't set? Mine came out perfectly cooked. Did you cover it tightly with foil? You can put it back in the Instant Pot - I would try 15 minutes and then 10 npr. Or you could put it in a 400 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes.
