Filipino Frittata / Omelette with Ground Beef, Mushroom and Broccoli (Instant Pot)

Torta, tortang? I’m still not sure what this is called in Filipino cuisine, but it’s essentially a frittata or omelette usually cooked with ground meat and whatever vegetables you may have on hand. And eggs, of course!

My mom used to make this a lot with eggplant, tortang talong, but I’m making it today with broccoli and mushrooms.

For this version, I’m using 2 green onion, about a handful of broccoli florets, 3 cloves of garlic and 2-3 baby portabella mushrooms. Just like a frittata or omelette, though, use what you have– that’s the whole purpose of these kinds of things!

I’m going to mix this all up with about a pound of ground beef and 6 eggs before cooking. 

You can adjust eggs to 8 if you prefer it more eggy.

My ground beef was frozen, so I cooked it in the Instant Pot first. 

Chop everything up to your liking. Think about cook time and sizing when modifying ingredients.

In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients including the ground beef and eggs. Add salt and pepper to your taste. Add 1 tsp soy sauce.

You’ll need some sort of pan to do pot in pot cooking. I’m using a springform pan here. Coat in nonstick spray or oil. 

Place pan on trivet, add a cup of water to the pot and seal.

Cook on high / manual pressure for 25 minutes.

Allow to natural release for about 5-10 minutes.

Serve with rice or toast!
