Pressure Cooker Cauliflower Soufflé is a simple Low Carb, Low Calorie, Keto side dish, which is delightfully cheesy and totally delicious. You won’t miss your Mashed Potatoes!

Pressure Cooker Cheesy Cauliflower Soufflé

Pressure Cooker Cheesy Cauliflower Soufflé

Pressure Cooker Cauliflower Soufflé is a Low Carb, Keto version of my Dad’s Famous Potatoes Don Leonardo.

They are similar to my Pressure Cooker Creamy Mashed Potatoes recipe, but, puff up like a Soufflé.

My Dad hosted the best dinner parties, with the best food.

As I am now eating a Low Carb-ish, Keto-ish diet, I will be converting all of my families favorite recipes.

Many of the recipes are perfect to cook in the Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker. Whichever model or brand you have, this recipe works…

What I love about this recipe is that it is very easy to change up.

For instance, feel like adding a bit of spice and Turmeric Powder? Just add it in.

Another Cauliflower recipe to try is my Pressure Cooker Mashed Turmeric Cauliflower.

Feeling a bit spicy? Add some Cajun seasonings for a Cajun Pressure Cooker Cauliflower Soufflé.

 

Add Ingredients to Food Processor

Add Ingredients to Food Processor

As this is a Souffle and it needs to rise, you will want to mix it up really well.

I use my large Food Processor.

A Vitamix will work even better, assuming you want a smoother result.

Whip the Eggs and a bunch of the ingredients up, so that the mix is nice and frothy.

 

Frothy Eggs with Cheese

Frothy

Get the eggs nice and Frothy and the cheese nicely blended.

 

Add in Chopped Cauliflower

Add in Chopped Cauliflower

Chopping Cauliflower can be messy.

This neat little Chef’n Stalk Chop Cauliflower Prep Tool makes things easier.

It’s really silly, but for under $6 bucks, it makes my life easier.

 

Process the Cauliflower well

Process the Cauliflower well

Grind up the Cauliflower very well. It will be grainy in the Food Processor.

The Vitamix will break it down more, so the texture is however you prefer.

Smooth or chunky….like peanut butter.

 

Fold in the Chives or Scallions

Fold in the Chives or Scallions

Remove the blade from your Food Processor.

Fold in the Freeze Dried Chives. If you like a stronger onion flavor, add some Fresh Scallions too.

 

Butter the Casserole Dish

Butter the Casserole Dish

Butter the Casserole Dish well.

I love this French White Casserole Dish so much, as it works well in the Pressure Cooker and makes a nice presentation at the dinner table.

Eggs love to stick to things.

When making my Pressure Cooker Egg Loaf, it is so important to really grease the pan well.

 

Add Cauliflower Mixture to Casserole Dish

Add the Cauliflower mixture to the buttered Casserole Dish.

Make sure not to pack it down.

 

Add some Water and a Trivet

Add some Water and a Trivet

Since this Pressure Cooker Cauliflower Soufflé is being cooked in a Casserole Dish, we will use the Pot in Pot Method.

The Pot in Pot “PIP” method is when you use a cooking vessel inside of the cooking pot.

Whenever you use the PIP method, there should always be liquid in the cooking pot, so that the Instant Pot / Pressure Cooker will come up to Pressure. A Stainless Steel Trivet is use for PIP cooking.

Many of my recipes use PIP cooking, with the main course beneath the Trivet.

For example, my Instant Pot Indian Butter Chicken has the meat in the bottom and the rice on the top for a Pot in Pot, One Pot Meal!

If you want to make, for example, my Pressure Cooker Japanese Beef Curry recipe for the main course with this Souffle, just use the PIP method.

In this instance, the liquid from the Stew is enough, so no additional liquid needs to be use.

A perfect Pot in Pot pairing for this Pressure Cooker Cauliflower Soufflé recipe is my Pressure Cooker Beef Stew with Root Vegetables recipe.

 

Lower Casserole Dish into Instant Pot

If your Trivet does not have handles, you might want to make a Foil Sling, so that you can easily lower and then remove the Casserole Dish from the Instant Pot.

 

Top with More Cheese, Chives and Bacon!

Top with More Cheese, Chives and Bacon!

If you want a Cheesier Soufflé, top with more Shredded Cheese.

The Cheese will melt from the heat, but a quick minute in the Air Fryer will give you a nice and crispy, cheesy crust!

Crisp Bacon and Chives liven up the flavor, so that you have a party in your mouth.

Any excess water, will absorb into the Soufflé after it has been sitting a while.

A beautiful presentation to serve with any meal. For another delicious Low Carb recipe, try my Pressure Cooker Bruschetta Chicken with Zoodles.
