→ 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

→ Garnishes (optional)
10 - Reserved cooked bacon strips
11 - Additional grated Parmesan cheese

# Steps to Follow:
01 - Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add chopped bacon and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until crisp. Remove one tablespoon for garnish, leaving the rest and bacon fat in the pot.
02 - Add minced garlic to the bacon fat and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
03 - Add ramen noodles, breaking them in half if necessary, and 2 cups of water. Stir to fully submerge the noodles.
04 - Seal the Instant Pot lid and cook on high pressure for 1 minute. Perform a quick release once cooking is complete.
05 - Whisk the eggs, Parmesan cheese, heavy cream (if using), and freshly ground black pepper together in a bowl.
06 - Open the Instant Pot and immediately add the egg and cheese mixture to the hot noodles. Stir vigorously to form a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs. Season with salt to taste.
07 - Plate the noodles and garnish with reserved bacon, extra Parmesan, and chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
