Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and heavy cream until they are light, airy, and slightly frothy. This should take about 2 minutes with an electric mixer or a bit longer by hand.
  3. Gently fold in the crumbled bacon, chopped kale, shredded cheddar, onion, Herbs de Provence, salt, and pepper.
  4. Stir until just combined.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into a greased, 7-inch oven-safe baking dish.
  6. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of water into the inner pot of your Instant Pot and place the metal trivet inside.
  7. Carefully lower the baking dish onto the trivet. Secure the Instant Pot lid, set the steam release handle to the Sealing position, and select the Pressure Cook or Manual setting.
  8. Cook on High pressure for 20 minutes.
  9. Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then perform a quick release for any remaining pressure. Carefully open the lid and use oven mitts to remove the hot dish.
  10. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.
  11. Don't have Herbs de Provence? You can make your own blend with dried thyme, rosemary, and savory, or simply use an Italian seasoning blend as a substitute.
