I am so excited to share another instant pot recipe with you today! Today’s breakfast burrito casserole uses a instant pot method called pot in pot cooking. This means you use an oven safe dish inside your instant pot. It works great for smaller casseroles!

One of the fun things about the instant pot, is experimenting with faster ways to cook meals. If you can learn easy ways to get breakfast, lunch or dinner prepared, eating real food becomes much, much easier.
That’s part of what I love about this recipe- I can make it every single week, using the same method, BUT i can switch out the add in’s super easily. Use different veggies, other leftover proteins from the week or use a different cheese, no cheese at all, or totally change out the herb and spices!
I share my real time experiments on Instagram Stories, come follow me there. I do step by step videos as I am testing recipes or re-making keto favorites!
Why The Instant Pot?
This breakfast casserole is the pinnacle of easy cooking. Nothing needs to be cooked ahead, a little bit of chopping and you have a fantastic meal ready in no time at all. All this breakfast burrito casserole needs is a few eggs, potato(leave out for keto/low carb), ham, onion, pepper and spices.
Pot In Pot Cooking with the Instant Pot
This type of cooking is called Pop int pot cooking. Meaning you use another dish inside the Instant pot. I used a small cake pan I had on hand, that holds about 3 cups.
If you have a larger pan, I would just prepare another potato and add 1 -2 more eggs. If you are increasing the recipe, I would bump cooking time to around 20 minutes.
Once your filling is done, load up a tortilla, add some salsa or avocado and enjoy! Super simple, delicious and totally customizable! Breakfast has never been so easy!

Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 pound red potatoes- cubed- I sub 1 cup cubed cheese for the keto diet instead of potatoes.
- 1/4 cup chopped white or yellow onion
- 1 diced jalapeno
- 6 oz ham steak cubed
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp mesquite seasoning
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- 3/4 tsp taco seasoning- instead of mesquite and chili powder use what you have on hand/like.
- Burrito toppings- You might like: Salsa, avocado, hot sauce and marinated red onions.
- Tortillas]- we tried the new Siete coconut flour ones and enjoyed them a lot! Here is a great [low carb option
Instructions
- In a medium bowl mix together the salt, seasonings and eggs and 1 tablespoon water. Beat the egg gently until the yokes are broken up. Like you would a scramble.
- Add your onions, potatoes or cheese, ham and jalapeno to the bowl.
- Add the mixture to the pot you plan to use inside your instant pot. If your pot has a lid use it, if not, use foil to cover the pot.
- Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of your instant pot.
- Add the trivet that came with your instant pot to the bottom of the pot.
- On the trivet place the covered pan with the egg mixture.
- Make sure the pot is set to sealing and cook on manual for 13 minutes.
- Once the pot is done cooking it will beep. Let the pressure release naturally.
- Carefully remove the pan from your instant pot.
- Fill your burritos!
- In a skillet I heated up the tortillas for a few seconds on each side. In each burrito I added a few scoops of the egg mixtures, a slice of avocado, salsa and red onions. My husband added hot sauce to his!
- Wrap up and enjoy.
- Leftover filling can be saved in an airtight container in the fridge and used for more burritos later!
Notes
Helpful equipment: You need an Instant Pot and another oven safe baking dish that fits inside the instant pot for this recipe. I used a small cake pan, that holds about 3 cups. I have linked to something similar to what I used, but I got mine a long time ago when I baked my own wedding cake. Make sure to measure so your baking vessel fits in your instant pot!
