The paleo solution

Breakfast caulicheese is the creamiest way to start the day with cauliflower on your fork. Riced cauliflower bakes in a foil-covered dish with cheddar, cream cheese, and half and half until it turns into a silky, golden gratin. Five minutes of pressure cooking — pure comfort, minimal carbs.

Pro Tips

• Rice the cauliflower in a food processor until fine and even — coarse pieces won't absorb the creamy sauce properly.
• Cover the baking dish with foil before it goes in the Instant Pot; trapped steam keeps the top creamy instead of watery.
• Combine all the ingredients in the greased dish before cooking so the cheeses melt evenly through the cauliflower.
• Let the pressure drop naturally for 10 minutes — the slow finish sets the gratin without curdling the dairy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make it in the oven?

Yes — bake the mixed dish covered at 375°F until bubbling and the cauliflower is tender, then finish uncovered for color.

Is it low-carb?

Very — just 4g net carbs and 134 calories per serving, with the cheese and cream providing satisfying richness.

Can I add more to it?

Crispy bacon, green onions, or a pinch of nutmeg all work beautifully stirred through the cauliflower-cheese base.

How long does it keep?

Up to 3 days in the fridge. Rewarm gently — high heat will make the half and half separate.
