Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs + Hard Boiled Egg Snacks 3 Ways (Paleo, Whole30, Keto)

Learn how to make Instant Pot hard boiled eggs that’s perfect and easy to peel every time, plus 3 simple and healthy snack ideas you can make with them!

I love my deviled eggs (case in point: pickle deviled eggs, bacon ranch deviled eggs, and beet deviled eggs). However, sometimes I’m lazy and I don’t feel like dealing with mashing the yolks and putting them back in the whites. So I’ve been snacking on these super duper easy egg snacks that are Whole30 and keto-friendly, and not only are they super yummy, they are really pretty to serve over the holidays!

Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

To make your life even easier, I highly recommend making hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot! Not only is it quick and simple to do, the eggs come out consistently perfect every time. Best of all, somehow the eggs are so easy to peel without the shell sticking to the whites. I don’t think I’ll ever make hard boiled eggs any other way.

Cook Time Variations

For this specific recipe, I decided to leave the yolks slightly soft in the center since I’m not making deviled eggs.I love soft yolks in general and this texture pairs so well with the various toppings I used in the hard boiled egg snacks especially well.

However, if you prefer true hard boiled eggs without any softness, make sure to let the Instant Pot naturally release pressure for 5 minutes instead of quick releasing like I did. This will help the yolk cook more so you can achieve your desired result.

Get Creative with Your Toppings

After you make the Instant Pot hard boiled eggs, it’s time to make hard boiled egg snacks! I provided 3 of my favorite topping combinations that I’ve been enjoying, but of course, you can get creative and make your own topping combos as well.

I think I’ll be serving these snacks over the holidays as an appetizer while we wait for the turkey or ham to cook. Not only are they super tasty and full of healthy fats, they pop with color on the table making it so festive for special occasions!

“Cheesy” Paleo Broccoli Casserole (Gluten Free, Whole30)

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of OXO. I was compensated and received a product to try. I fully stand behind this product, and the opinions are 100% my own.

This “Cheesy” Paleo Broccoli Casserole is dairy free and Whole30, but you’ll never know it by the delicious, creamy taste! It’s a perfect holiday side dish.

Ever since I’ve had to give up gluten and dairy because of my food intolerances, I had to start getting super creative for the holidays. I actually really enjoy the process of experimenting in the kitchen and recreating my favorite dishes free of allergens without sacrificing on the flavor.

I recently made this “Cheesy” Paleo Broccoli Casserole without a hint of cheese, and I may have to make it every year for holiday get-togethers because it turned out fantastic.

“Cheesy” Paleo Broccoli Casserole Recipe

The “cheesy” creamy sauce in this recipe is made with a combination of spices, cashews, coconut milk, and nutritional yeast, and I honestly think it tastes better than real cheese. The best part is that you won’t feel weighed down afterwards like you do with real cheese, and the creamy texture with the crunchy broccoli is just the best combo.

You can use either fresh or frozen broccoli for this casserole, which makes the cooking process easy and quick because if you use frozen florets, you don’t even have to defrost them!

Easy Cooking with OXO Products

To make this “Cheesy” Paleo Broccoli Casserole, I used some of these OXO products, which made preparing this side dish so dang easy and fun! The OXO products I used are:

Glass 3 Qt Baking Dish with Lid (love that it comes with a lid, and it can go from freezer to oven without the need to thaw),
Herb Stripping Comb (it strips kale and herb leaves from multiple stems at one time with a simple pull, and it made stripping parsley leaves for this recipe so easy and quick!),
and lastly, my favorite, One Stop Chop (a manual food processor).

The One Stop Chop was my favorite because the blades are extremely sharp, so it makes chopping onions and other vegetables a breeze. Plus, the bottom suctions to the counter really well so it doesn’t budge while you are turning the handle! I know I’ll be using this one multiple times over the holidays when I’m cooking 5 dishes at once.

My Favorite Kitchen Equipments for Making Holiday Dishes

If you go through my kitchen, you’ll probably figure out that I really love OXO products. Their products are always high quality and last a really, really long time. I’ve had some of their glassware for 4+ years and they are still going strong.

If you are a fan of holiday dishes like me and you are planning to bake a ton this season, definitely check out their glass bakeware! They come in all different shapes and sizes, and I love that many of them have lids to easily store your leftovers in the fridge.

I hope you enjoy this gluten free and Whole30 “Cheesy” Paleo Broccoli Casserole, because it’s such a delicious way to enjoy your vegetables and get your kids to eat them as well!

Chorizo and Butternut Squash Baked Eggs (Paleo, Whole30)

Breakfast couldn’t be easier and tastier with these paleo and Whole30 Chorizo and Butternut Squash Baked Eggs. They are perfect for a holiday brunch!

It’s been a long time since I posted a baked eggs or a frittata recipe (by the way… what the heck is the difference between the two??). That’s because I prefer my eggs sunny side up with the yolk drippy and runny.

However, baked eggs are great for a group or if you want to make them ahead of time to eat on busy mornings. And, I must say, that the flavors of chorizo and butternut squash together just might have changed my mind about them!

Chorizo and Butternut Squash Baked Eggs Recipe

The combination of chorizo and butternut squash is my new favorite recent discovery. There’s something so addicting about the spicy, salty chorizo with the subtly sweet and soft butternut squash. And when they are baked together with eggs, spinach, onion, and spices, there’s honestly nothing better. I’m honestly drooling just writing about it!

Make Up To 2 Days Ahead!

While you can make the whole thing, freeze the leftover slices, then defrost them when you want to eat them, you can also make part the recipe components ahead of time and finish cooking them the morning that you want to eat them. I recommend the latter if you want freshly baked, best tasting eggs for a get-together or a holiday brunch to save on time and effort when you have so many other things happening.

All you have to do is cook the ingredients ahead of time, all the way through adding spinach, and then refrigerator them before adding the eggs the next day and baking the whole thing together. You can do this up to 2 days ahead of time to get the hardest part of the recipe out of the way!
