Grease 6 (4 oz) ramekins with the softened butter. Then add 2 tsp of heavy cream to each ramekin and swirl around to coat the bottom. Crack an egg into each ramekin.
Sprinkle each with 1/2 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese along with some cracked black pepper.
Add 2 cups of water to the Instant Pot and place the trivet inside.
Place 3 ramekins on trivet, followed by second layer of 3 ramekins. Stack them in an alternating pattern, not directly on top of ramekins below.
Cook on low pressure for 2 minutes for runny yolks, 3 minutes for hard yolks.
Do a quick-release pressure. Remove lid and transfer ramekins to a rack to cool. Serve immediately.
Notes
For silicone molds, Follow directions above, but increase the cook time to 8 minutes for runny yolks, 9 minutes for soft yolks, and 10 minutes for fully cooked yolks.
