This Instant Pot Mushroom and Swiss Frittata is an awesome breakfast recipe. It’s super easy to make and is ready in about half an hour.
I don’t have time in the morning to whip up elaborate breakfast dishes for my family. That being said, I also don’t like to send my kids out the door with only cereal in their stomachs to sustain them to lunch.
That’s why I’m a big fan of breakfast casseroles and simple frittatas. They make it easy to feed my whole family a hearty breakfast with minimum effort.
Since my Instant Pot is my go-to appliance for easy cooking, I turned to it for help with breakfast. I started with an Instant Pot Tomato Bacon Spinach Frittata inspired by my love of BLTs.
Still in sandwich mode, I thought of my favorite burger when I decided to work up another recipe. That’s how I ended up with this Instant Pot Mushroom and Swiss Frittata.
I loved how it turned out and I hope you enjoy it too!

Then, lower the baking pan onto the trivet.
Cover the pan with aluminum foil or lid. Secure the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to sealing.
Press “Manual” and set the time for 15 minutes.
Quick release the pressure when the timer beeps and carefully remove the pan from the Instant Pot once the pressure has fully released.
