Stove Top Directions and variations Below

Savor the creamy delight of a cheesy egg salad with Velveeta cheese. Our easy recipe combines Velveeta's rich, velvety texture with hard-boiled eggs, creating a luxurious and comforting dish. Whether you prefer your Velveeta egg salad warm and gooey or cold and refreshing, this versatile creation is perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or as a delightful side dish at any gathering. With its creamy Velveeta and mayo base, this egg salad is irresistibly creamy and satisfying, making it a go-to favorite for cheese lovers.

  1. Place a trivet or a steamer basket inside your Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the pot.

  2. Arrange the eggs on the trivet or in the steamer basket.

  3. Close the Instant Pot lid, set the vent to "Sealing," and select the "Pressure Cook" or "Manual" setting. Set the cooking time to 5 minutes at high pressure.

  4. When the cooking cycle is complete, perform a quick pressure release by carefully turning the steam release valve to "Venting."

  5. As soon as the pressure has fully released and the float valve drops, carefully open the Instant Pot lid.

  6. Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to cool quickly for about 5 minutes. This will help make peeling the eggs easier.

  7. Once the eggs are cool, peel them by tapping and rolling them on the counter until the shells are loose and can be easily removed. Rinse the peeled eggs to remove any shell fragments and dice them into small pieces.

  8. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced eggs, mayonnaise salad dressing, sweet relish, and diced onion. Mix these ingredients well until they are thoroughly combined.

  9. For an extra special touch, take some cubes of Velveeta cheese and place them in the center of your egg salad mixture. You can also sprinkle the top with a bit of salt and pepper or seasoned salt to taste.

  10. Gently fold the cheese cubes into the egg salad mixture, being careful not to break them up too much.

  11. Once everything is mixed together, taste the egg salad and adjust the salt and pepper to your preference.

  12. Serve your delicious Instant Pot Deviled Egg Salad on a bed of lettuce, as a sandwich filling, or with crackers. Enjoy!
