- Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes. Make sure the vent is in the ‘sealed’ position. Allow natural release for 5 minutes.
- Then, using a potholder or wooden spoon, move the venting knob to the vented position to allow the pressure to come down the rest of the way. (quick release)
- Pour in the milk and stir. Add in the cheese gradually, stirring after each addition until it’s completely melted. Add the yogurt and nutmeg and stir until combined.
Notes
Use freshly grated cheese, not bagged.
● You can change out they types of cheese for your preferences, but keep the proportions
the same.
● Any type of milk will do. Whole milk will be creamier, nut milk works fine.
● Nutmeg adds a little nuttiness and warmth, it’s a great addition, but can be left out.
Freshly grated nutmeg is superb, but already ground nutmeg works too.
