How to Make This Recipe
You’re going to love how simple this Instant Pot egg salad is. Without having to peel all the eggs, this recipe is truly a breeze!
Step 1: First, spray a pan that fits into the Instant Pot with nonstick spray. Next, crack the eggs into the pan.

Step 3: Once the eggs have cooked, quickly or naturally release the steam from the Instant Pot. Remove the eggs from the Instant Pot and drain the water.
Step 4: Next, chop the egg “loaf” and place the chopped eggs back into the Instant Pot with diced celery, onion, mayonnaise, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
Mix everything up well and that’s it! Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and sliced chives if desired.

Your egg salad may taste bland because there may not be enough seasinings in it. Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your preferences!
