Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays of the year.  I love that the weather finally takes a turn for the better, and egg hunts have always been a lot of fun in my family. Easter brunch is filled with some of my favorite foods, ham, potato salad, warm bread and brussels sprouts.

I have always loved brussels sprouts ever since I was a child.  I never understood why people claimed that they didn’t love them. When made properly, they taste amazing! Brussels Sprouts are always on our table for Easter brunch. This year I decided to take one of my favorite brussels sprouts recipes and adapt it to the pressure cooker.  Converting your favorite recipes to the Instant Pot is not as difficult as you might think.

How to Trim Brussels Sprouts

I love taking shortcuts so I will look for  pre-washed and cut vegetables ready to go when I shop for ingredients.  I get my pineapple already cored and ready to slice for our ham right in the refrigerated section of the store. I LOVE these halved Brussel sprouts that make meal prep so much faster.

However, if you don’t have that option available to you, just wash and dry your Brussels and trip off the bottom where the stem is. Then cut the Brussel in half lengthwise.

Turn Instant Pot on manual mode. Cook under high pressure for 2 minutes for a bit of crisp in your sprouts. (use 3 minutes if you like your brussels sprouts more cooked). It will take a little while for the pot to come to pressure.

    What is the balsamic glaze?

      I used a store-bought balsamic glaze you can find at any grocery store, but you can make your own by simmering Balsamic Vinegar with some brown sugar on a stovetop and reduce by half.

    If I am doubling the recipe, should I double the amount of liquid or leave it at 1/2 a cup?
