Egg Salad is the perfect meal for early spring. It\u2019s light, refreshing, satisfying, and has just the right amount of creamy, tangy flavor. We like to upgrade classic mayonnaise with a bit of sour cream for an even more flavorful sandwich filling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This egg salad sandwich recipe gets even easier thanks to your Instant pot \/ pressure cooker. You can cook all of the eggs at once with an egg loaf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fun hack is my new favorite way to make big batches of hard-cooked eggs easily.<\/strong> I think you\u2019ll love it too. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How to Make an Instant Pot Egg Loaf<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This Egg Salad Sandwich<\/strong> recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the idea of an egg loaf sounds funny to you, it kind of is. But once you get over the odd-looking loaf of hard-boiled eggs you\u2019ve made, it\u2019s easy to see why this Instant Pot egg trick is so popular. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

To make an egg loaf<\/strong>, simply crack up to 8 eggs into any pan that fits inside your pressure cooker. I use my handy 7×3-inch round cake pan<\/a>. Then use a trivet<\/a> and a sling to cook the eggs at high pressure for 8 minutes. After a quick pressure release, you have a literal loaf of fully cooked eggs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: <\/strong>It\u2019s very important to grease the cake pan well before you crack the eggs in. Otherwise, your egg loaf may stick. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Using a Sling in an Instant Pot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A sling is the easiest way to lower and remove cake pans and other items from your Instant Pot. You can buy a handy reusable sling or make one out of foil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making Egg Salad with an Egg Loaf<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve turned out your egg loaf, making the egg salad is quick and easy!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can place the entire loaf on a cutting board and roughly chop it to whatever size you prefer. If you like chunks, leave some larger pieces. For a smooth and creamy egg salad, mash the eggs up a bit more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, fold in your seasonings! We love a traditional egg salad with mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, fresh herbs, and celery for a bit of crunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spread the eggs on toasted white bread with lettuce and tomato for a family-friendly lunch perfect for a warm spring afternoon. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
