God certainly could have created it all instantly.
Based on the verb forms, it appears some things were created instantly or very quickly:
Genesis 1:3: And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
Others suggest a more progressive act, but whether that was 1 minute or 24 hours, we can't say.
Genesis 1:9: And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so.
Why did he pause each day (for however long that was) before creating? The usual explanation is that God was demonstrating the pattern of the healthy work week and Sabbath day of rest, i.e., God paused for our benefit.
Exodus 20:11: For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
