Ingredient Notes

• Fresh spinach (1 cup): Use baby spinach for tenderness, or substitute with kale if you want a stronger flavor. • Feta cheese (2 tablespoons): Crumbled, try to find a good quality Greek brand for authentic taste. • Eggs (1 pound, about 6 large): Fresh eggs yield the best soufflé texture. • Milk (1/2 cup): Whole milk gives creaminess, but skim works too for a lighter option.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. In a bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk and crumbled feta until well combined.
  2. Stir in the wilted spinach and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Pour the mixture into a greased, heatproof dish that fits inside your pressure cooker.
  4. Add 1 cup of water to the pressure cooker, place the dish on the trivet, and seal the lid. Cook on high for 10 minutes.
  5. Quick release the pressure, carefully remove the dish, and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Things I’ve Learned

Soufflés can collapse if they are not baked properly. To prevent this, ensure your eggs are well whisked and aerated. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave, but soufflé is best enjoyed fresh.
