Mexican Egg Casserole Instant Pot Recipe. Use your pressure cooker to make a hearty and flavorful casserole for breakfast, brunch or even dinner. Find out how! Instant Pot Mexican Egg Casserole 

There are so many RECIPES you can make with your Instant Pot (pressure cooker). I am having a great time experimenting. It’s been fun converting some of our favorite slow cooker recipes over to pressure cooker (Instant Pot) recipes.

The weekends seem to be the time when I can experiment the most and one of my favorite things to make on the weekends is brunch for our family. Here is our favorite savory brunch recipe so far — Instant Pot Mexican Egg Casserole. This egg dish is a delicious combination of flavorful sausage, spices and healthy veggies.

You can also switch out the meat or omit it entirely, depending on your family’s preferences. You can also add a variety of different vegetables, depending on what you like and what you have on hand. One of the thing I love about the Instant Pot or any of the new pressure cookers is the sautee feature. It’s great for making a one-pot meal. I put the sausage and veggies in the pressure cooker and sauteed the meat and veggies until they were cooked through and then added the rest of the ingredients and put the lid on it and let it cook. It’s so much easier and more convenient than having to sautee those ingredients in a separate pan. I love that!!

I added a half cup of flour to the egg mixture which helps the casserole firm up and keeps it shape when you cut it into pie-shaped pieces to serve to your guests.

Here is the recipe for Instant Pot Mexican Egg Casserole:

Recipe Type: Breakfast
Cuisine: Mexican

Cook time: 25 mins
Total time: 35 mins
Serves: 8
Mexican Egg Casserole Instant Pot Recipe. Use your pressure cooker to make a hearty and flavorful casserole for breakfast, brunch or even dinner. Find out how!
Ingredients
  • 8 large eggs, well-beaten
  • 1 pound mild ground sausage
  • 1/2 large red onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed
  • 1/2 cup green onions
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 cup Cotija cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • sour cream, cilantro to garnish (optional)
Instructions
  1. Turn pressure cooker on to the sautee setting. Once it is hot, add the sausage and onion. Cook until the sausage is cooked through, about six minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour with eggs until combined. Add the egg mixture to the sausage and onions and put them in an oven-safe round casserole dish. Add one cup of water to the bottom of the Dish. I made a sling out of tin foil, but you you can use a silicone sling too. It makes it easier to life the casserole dish out of the instant pot.
  3. Add chopped vegetables, beans and cheeses to the casserole dish. You can leave a little bit of the mozzarella cheese and put that on top of the casserole when it is done.
  4. Put the casserole dish in the pressure cooker. Put the lid on the pressure cooker and lock in place.
  5. Program the setting of the pressure cooker to to the high setting and let cook for 20 minutes. When the time is up, let it depressurize and then unlock the lid.
  6. Take the casserole out of the pressure cooker. I lifted the inner pot out of the pressure cooker and then put a plate on top of the inner pot and then flipped it upside down so the casserole popped out onto the plate.
  7. Then I added the remaining cheese to the top of the casserole and let it sit for a couple of minutes until the cheese melted.

Instant Pot Mexican Egg Casserole 

I flipped my casserole out of the inner pot onto a plate so it’s actually upside down. If you want the prettier side on top, you can cook the sausage and onion and then put it inside of a ceramic dish and then add the remaining ingredients, and fit it inside of the inner pot with 1 cup of water at the bottom. This way you can lift the dish out of the inner pot with a aluminum sling and it will look prettier. I did this with the Crustless Veggie Quiche that I made a couple of weeks ago and it looked great.

The nice thing about this Mexican Egg Casserole is that it’s made with a little bit of flour that makes it easier to handle and it can be flipped onto a plate or slid out of the inner pot if you want.

    I used the casserole dish method, cooked it 20 minutes on pressure and let the pressure release naturally. A lot of liquid on top of the casserole when I took it out and the eggs were not thoroughly cooked.

    Thank you so much for the recipe, trying in morning, with deer sausage! I got a Crock-pot Pressure cooker for Christmas!! What did I do before this thing? I literally cook everything in it!! My husband has threatened to take away my oven for more cabinets, lol. I mean I cook 3 meals a day in this!! It makes the most perfect roast with potatoes and carrots!! Each of the ingredients having their flavor yet melting so wonderfully together in your mouth! I’m so amazed how much I can do with This! My poor crock pot are jealous sitting up on the shelf!! The most gratifying thing I’ve made is chicken noodleless soup (I didn’t have noodles on hand) when she was sick. I threw in a bone in frozen chicken leg and thigh, veggies, onions garlic and seasonings, turned on the soup botton and set it for 30min. As I pressed start I didn’t think it would cook, but low and behold in thirty minutes I took the chicken out, shredded it and put it back in the pot and took to her house!! Oh I’m so grateful!! Best gift ever!!

    Can this recipe be cooked in a slow cooker on high.
    I do not own a pressure cooker.
    Thanks

      Hi! I think you could. I am not sure how long it would take. But I think you should give it a shot! Let me know!

    How did you keep the Instapot from burning the bottom without using another dish inside? Mine would not even pressurize at all and would give the BURN error. And wow, 20 minutes would be such a long time on high pressure! The Instapot can basically make dried red beans in that amount of time!

        For the Mexican Casserole— I’m worried about burning it on the bottom. Did this happen when you cooked it directly in the Instant Pot bowl?

        • Jen says

          February 1, 2018 at 12:42 PM

          No my casserole didn’t burn on the bottom. But if you are worried about that you can cook the casserole inside the instant pot using a casserole dish like I did in the Instant Pot Quiche recipe — https://tatertotsandjello.com/2017/01/instant-pot-crustless-veggie-quiche.html. xoxoxo
