    One of my favorite keto recipes are Keto Instant Pot Egg Stuffed Peppers. Eggs are a staple of a Keto or low carb diet. But let's face it, after a while, you can get a little tired or scrambled or hard boiled eggs. But this recipe breathes new life into traditional eggs. Whip up some Low Carb and Keto Cheddar Biscuits as a delicious side.

    I love this recipe for Keto Instant Pot Egg Stuffed Peppers because it breathes new life into traditional eggs. Plus, these eggs are made in the Instant Pot which makes them super easy to prepare.

    I like to use a variety of peppers for this recipe since it makes it super pretty and appetizing, especially if you serving them to guests.

    To make these Keto Instant Pot Egg Stuffed Peppers, start by cutting all of the bell peppers in half, lengthwise. Remove the stems, seeds, and white inner ribs from the peppers. Rinse each of the pepper halves and dry them with a paper towel.

    Loosely cover the peppers with a piece of aluminum foil.

    Shut the lid, sealing the Instant Pot and pressure cook on low for 4 minutes. Keep in mind that it usually takes 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build in the Instant Pot. When the 4 minutes are up, manually release the pressure valve to vent. Use tongs to remove the peppers from the Instant Pot.

    While the peppers are still warm, sprinkle them liberally with cheese. The heat will cause the cheese to melt.
