Scale
- 16 oz Baby Broccoli Florets
- 2 cup Chicken Stock
- 2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 8 oz Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 4 oz Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
- 11 oz Chopped Onion
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 3 tsp Minced Garlic
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
Instructions
- Begin by chopping onions. Set to the side.
- Turn the Instant Pot on in “Saute” mode. The message screen will display “Hot” when ready.
- Add 1/4 cup butter to the Instant Pot then add in the chopped onions and minced garlic. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Add all Instant Pot seasonings into a small bowl. Stir together then pour over ingredients. Stir again. Add broccoli and chicken stock to the Instant Pot.
- Change the setting on the Instant Pot to the “Pressure Cook” mode for 5 minutes. When starting the cooking process in the Instant Pot, I used the normal setting and set the pressure cooker to high then closed the top according to the instructions. [See additional notes below]
- Allow to cool and sit for 5 minutes once done then use the quick release option. Remove top after steam is released and change setting to low “Saute” then smash ingredients with potato masher (paid link) until slightly smooth.
- Add cheeses and stir then add cream and cornstarch. Continue stirring. Serve hot.
