This steamed oysters recipe makes the shellfish easy to open up and tender without any rubbery texture. I've made baked, grilled, steamed oysters on the stovetop, and even air-fried oysters, but steaming in the Instant Pot is hands down the best method.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 20 freshs oysters in shells , rinsed and scrubbed clean
- 2 teaspoons Mexican-style hot sauce , such as Valentina®
- 0.5 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted

Pour water into a multifunctional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and set the trivet inside. Place oysters on the trivet. Close and lock the lid. Select the Steam function according to the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 2 minutes. Allow 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Monster Breakfast Cookies
These are a perfect treat when on the go, or first thing in the morning before a run/walk, or in the middle of the night while nursing a hungry infant! Walnuts are a great add (try 1/2 cup raisins and 1/2 cup walnuts), but they do make the cookies a bite drier. You can use white flour or a mixture of white and whole-wheat.

Creamy Cheesy Scrambled Eggs with Basil
Sour cream makes these cheesy scrambled eggs rich and creamy, and the basil adds a little kick of flavor. Sometimes, I use pepper Jack cheese and a little garlic and onion (powdered or fresh) for extra flavor.
