# Ingredient list:

01 - 2 packs instant ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded
→ Meats
02 - 4 strips bacon, chopped
→ Dairy
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
05 - 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional)
→ Aromatics
06 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

10 - Reserved bacon pieces
11 - Extra grated Parmesan cheese

# Cooking steps:
01 - Set your Instant Pot to sauté mode and cook chopped bacon until crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove one tablespoon of bacon for garnish and keep the rest with the rendered fat in the pot.
02 - Add minced garlic to the bacon fat and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
03 - Place ramen noodles into the pot, breaking them in half if necessary. Pour in 2 cups of water and stir to submerge the noodles evenly.
04 - Seal the Instant Pot lid and cook on high pressure for 1 minute. Perform a quick pressure release once cooking is complete.
05 - While noodles cook, whisk together eggs, grated Parmesan, heavy cream if using, and freshly ground black pepper in a bowl.
06 - Open the Instant Pot and immediately add the egg and cheese mixture to the hot noodles. Stir vigorously to create a creamy sauce, ensuring the eggs cook without scrambling. Season with salt to taste.
07 - Portion servings immediately and garnish with reserved bacon, extra Parmesan, and chopped parsley as desired.
