Pressure Cooker Breakfast

We made this pressure cooker breakfast bundt cake not knowing how it would turn out and was surprised to find it out it worked amazingly well!!

Instant Pot Breakfast Bundt Cake

We made this breakfast bundt in the oven a while back. Then made an Instant Pot breakfast casserole with hash browns as well. This is bacon egg and cheese bundt cake is a nice cross between the two though and looks so pretty when it's done!

This particular bundt pan to make our pressure cooker breakfast is a must because of it's size, shape, and non stick coating. It was so good we tell you…..

If you are new to pressure cooking we have a lot of easy one pot meal recipes for you here. To begin with let's start with a few basic tips:

  • You can PRINT this —–> Instant Pot cooking times cheat sheet that will help you understand how long meat, vegetables and beans take to cook in your pressure cooker.
  • We HIGHLY recommend you buy this non stick pot.

For reference, this is the model we have (a 6 quart) and use for all recipe creations.

A white Instant Pot with a Star Wars theme sits on the kitchen counter, ready to tackle your favorite beef arm roast recipe. The digital display glows "On." Next to it lie a patterned cloth and some green onions, all against the backdrop of blue kitchen cabinets and a stovetop.

Ninja Foodi Breakfast Bundt Cake

We started this because we had leftover ham after cooking an Instant Pot ham and hate wasting food. So…..we thought we would give this a whirl and see if it would turn out well.

  • good is all we have to say. You can make it in your Ninja Foodi too.

Not all we make in our pressure cooker the first time work out well, this is true. Figuring out the timing on it is the hardest part since you can't see it like if you put it inside the oven or something. It's kinda' a guess when you're developing a recipe but 30 minutes worked perfectly for this to ensure the biscuits were cooked through and the eggs weren't still runny at all.

You could easily substitute the diced ham for bacon bits or precooked ground sausage in your egg mixture we're sure. We are going to use sausage next time and will update with a pic. when we do that.

You could also add a bit of cheese, we think 1/4 cup would work well. We didn't this time because our husband is dairy free and wanted him to try it…and he loved it! Let us tell you it was so fabulous!

  1. 7″ bundt pan – fits in 6qt. Instant Pots or larger, the best one we've bought!
  2. Eggs
  3. Refrigerated biscuits – we used Grands (a bit larger than traditional ones, found right beside all others in refrigerated section at store)
  4. Diced ham – we used leftover ham and it was fabulous, could use real crumbled bacon or bacon bits
  5. Diced onion
  6. Seasoned salt – we used Lawry's
  7. Garlic salt
  8. Could add a bit of cheese if desired, maybe 1/4 c shredded (we did not this time)

Such a pretty savory bundt cake idea right?? Would present well at a brunch and feeds a fair amount since it is rather dense, but FULL of flavor we tell you. If you allow it to cool at least 5 minutes it is easy to slice through as you can see on the bottom photo here and each bite had plenty of egg and ham.
