SPINACH SOUFFLE



Spinach Souffle image

Nothing to worry about here, folks: This souffle is the opposite of fussy. Right out of the oven it's gloriously light and airy like a souffle should be, but as it deflates it becomes rich and decadent -- meaning that even if your souffle collapses, it's still going to be amazing.

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h10m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Two 10-ounce packages chopped frozen spinach, thawed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 large eggs, separated
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
1 cup grated Pecorino-Romano
Nonstick cooking spray or additional softened butter, for the souffle dish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the spinach in a colander to drain, pressing out as much excess liquid as you can.
  • Make the bechamel sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add the flour and stir until it becomes a thick paste. Add the milk 1/2 cup at a time, whisking well after each addition, until you have a smooth sauce. Remove from the heat and whisk in the salt, nutmeg and pepper. Taste for seasoning. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Beat the egg whites until just frothy with an electric mixer. Add the cream of tartar and beat on high speed until it forms firm peaks. Set aside.
  • Whisk the egg yolks in a large bowl until they are pale yellow, then add the warm bechamel sauce a bit at a time. Switch to a large rubber spatula; gently mix in the spinach, Parmesan and 1/2 cup Romano. Fold in a third of the egg whites to lighten, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites until thoroughly combined but still light and fluffy.
  • Lightly grease a 2-quart souffle dish with cooking spray or softened butter, then add the remaining 1/2 cup Romano and rotate the dish to coat the bottom and sides with the cheese. Pour in the souffle batter, then bake until puffy and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

Spinach and Cheddar Souffle image

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing the dish
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for sprinkling
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup scalded milk
1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 extra-large egg yolks, at room-temperature
1/2 cup grated aged Cheddar cheese, lightly packed
1 package frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
5 extra-large egg whites, at room temperature
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter the inside of a 6 to 8-cup souffle dish (6 1/2 to 7 1/2 inches in diameter by 3 1/2 inches deep) and sprinkle evenly with Parmesan.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. With a wooden spoon, stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Off the heat, whisk in the hot milk, the nutmeg, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, for 1 minute, until smooth and thick.
  • Off the heat, while still hot, whisk in the egg yolks, one at a time. Stir in the Cheddar, 1/4 cup of Parmesan and the spinach and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • Put the egg whites, cream of tartar, and a pinch of salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on low speed for 1 minute, on medium speed for 1 minute, then finally on high speed until they form firm, glossy peaks.
  • Whisk one quarter of the egg whites into the cheese sauce to lighten and then fold in the rest. Pour into the souffle dish, then smooth the top. Draw a large circle on top with the spatula to help the souffle rise evenly, and place in the middle of the oven. Turn the temperature down to 375 degrees F. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes (don't peek!) until puffed and brown. Serve immediately.

Categories     Breakfast     Brunch

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 package (10 ounces) fresh spinach
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup milk
1 teaspoon dried minced onion

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality vegetables: Fresh broccoli or spinach will yield the best flavor and texture in your soufflé. Look for broccoli florets that are deep green and tightly closed, and spinach leaves that are dark green and tender.
  • Cook the vegetables properly: Broccoli and spinach should be cooked until they are tender but still retain their vibrant color. Overcooked vegetables will result in a mushy soufflé.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of your soufflé. Use a cheese that melts well, such as Gruyère, Parmesan, or cheddar.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form: This is essential for creating a light and airy soufflé. Make sure to use a clean bowl and whisk, and beat the egg whites slowly at first, gradually increasing the speed until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold the egg whites into the vegetable mixture gently: Overmixing will deflate the egg whites and result in a dense soufflé. Use a spatula to gently fold the egg whites into the vegetable mixture until just combined.
  • Bake the soufflé immediately: A soufflé will start to fall as soon as it is removed from the oven, so it is important to bake it immediately after assembling.

Conclusion:

Broccoli or spinach soufflé is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. With its light and airy texture and cheesy flavor, it is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a special dish to make, give this broccoli or spinach soufflé a try. You won't be disappointed!
