Zucchini soufflé in a multicooker
Description
This recipe won’t take much time. It’s tender and airy, with a pleasant cream cheese flavor. It’s a great way to start the day! This breakfast will delight not only adults but also children—the zucchini in the finished dish is hardly noticeable at all. I strongly recommend making this breakfast. The whole charm of making it in a multicooker is that it’s no fuss and the dish definitely won’t burn. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Step 11
Grease the multicooker inner pot with vegetable oil. Spoon in the zucchini mixture and smooth it evenly. Select the multicooker’s “Bake” program and set it to 30 minutes. Cook until the chime/beep signals completion, without opening the lid. After the signal, leave the dish inside the multicooker, still closed, for another 10–15 minutes.

Carefully run along the inside walls of the multicooker bowl, loosening the soufflé from the sides. Transfer to a serving dish. At first the soufflé will be tall and airy, but it will settle slightly afterward—that is normal.
