If you are an InstantPot user you can boil your eggs using the metal rack and save yourself some time, otherwise, on the stovetop works.

• 1 tsp red onion, minced
• 1 tbsp minced jalapeno
• 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
• kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

• pinch chile powder (for garnish)

DIRECTIONS:

• Hard boiled eggs (place on metal rack that came with IP with 1 C of water, manual pressure cook for 5 minutes, natural release for 5 minutes and place in ice water for 5 minutes).  Or on the stove top…Place your eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from the heat and set aside 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, cool in ice water and peel.
• Peel the cooled hard boiled eggs.
