4 large eggs, beaten
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
Spices:
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp chili pepper, ground
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
¼ tsp black pepper, ground
Directions:
- Rinse the asparagus under cold running water and trim off the woody ends. Cut into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Plug in your instant pot and pour one cup of water in the stainless steel insert. Position a trivet on the bottom and place a steam basket on top. Add the asparagus and sprinkle with some salt. Close the lid and adjust the steam release handle.
