Savory Bacon Pumpkin Mock Souffle

Savory Bacon Pumpkin Mock Souffle-

Savory Bacon Pumpkin Mock Souffle is a savory, grain free, low carb, keto side dish.

Savory Bacon Pumpkin Mock Souffle is a bacon and pumpkin, crust free mock soufflé. A fantastic, delicious side dish for Fall and the holidays. A mock soufflé is not exactly as puffy and delicate as an actual soufflé.

Although it does rise a little bit. The good news is that it is much easier to make than a soufflé, and you don't have to worry about it rising or falling. Almost like a frittata but the egg whites are beaten until stiff.

I can remember when I was a young girl of about 11 years old, watching the PBS channel (we only had 2 channels) for the cooking shows.

I loved to watch the legendary Julia Child, and would furiously write down everything she did, so I could try my hand at it after the show.

I did this after school while my parents were not home, and tried to have it all cleaned up before they came home. Most of the more complicated French recipes would not turn outright.

Mostly some failed because of not having all the ingredients, and picking substitutions that did not work well.

But I learned so much from that & I could never get her souffle to turn out right, but maybe that was a tricky recipe for an 11-year-old. However, I did learn to bake bread fairly well. Although I can't have any of them now, lol.
