Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing the dish
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus extra for sprinkling
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup scalded milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne pepper
Pinch nutmeg
4 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature
3 ounces good Roquefort cheese, chopped
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 an 8-cup souffle dish (7 1/2 inches in diameter and 3 1/4 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, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, the cayenne, and nutmeg. 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 Roquefort and the 1/4 cup of Parmesan 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 1/4 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.

Time 1h

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Butter, room temperature, for greasing the souffle
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/3 cups milk, hot
4 large egg yolks (2 1/2 ounces by weight)
6 ounces sharp Cheddar
5 egg whites plus 1 tablespoon water (5 1/2 ounces by weight plus 1/2 ounce water)
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Use room temperature butter to grease an 8-inch souffle mold. Add the grated Parmesan and roll around the mold to cover the sides. Cover with plastic wrap and place into the freezer for 5 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the butter. Allow all of the water to cook out.
  • In a separate bowl combine the flour, dry mustard, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Whisk this mixture into the melted butter. Cook for 2 minutes.
  • Whisk in the hot milk and turn the heat to high. Once the mixture reaches a boil, remove from the heat.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks to a creamy consistency. Temper the yolks into the milk mixture, constantly whisking. Remove from the heat and add the cheese. Whisk until incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, using a hand mixer, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until glossy and firm. Add 1/4 of the mixture to the base. Continue to add the whites by thirds, folding very gently.
  • Pour the mixture into the souffle. Fill the souffle to 1/2-inch from the top. Place on an aluminum pie pan. Bake in the oven for 35 minutes.

EASY CHEESE SOUFFLES



Easy Cheese Souffles image

Doesn't it feel great to eliminate a step in a classic recipe and have the new one turn out better? I was actually working on something I was going to call 'cheesecake souffle,' and since I was adding cream cheese to the base, I decided to skip the classic white sauce, and simply smear everything together.

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Eggs

Time 32m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons white sugar, or as needed
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
⅓ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Brush butter on the bottom and up the sides of two 5 1/2-ounce ramekins. Scoop in some sugar; rotate ramekins to coat while pouring most of the sugar back into its container. Place ramekins on a shallow baking pan.
  • Separate eggs between 2 bowls. Add sugar, flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, vanilla extract, lemon zest, cream cheese, and Cheddar cheese to the yolks. Mix the souffle base with a spatula until sugar and flour disappear.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the room-temperature egg whites. Beat with a whisk until soft peaks form; peaks should hold their shape but not be stiff or dry. Stir and fold 1/2 of the egg whites into the souffle base until combined. Gently fold the rest of the egg whites into the batter.
  • Fill ramekins up to the lip with the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and browned, about 12 minutes. Serve immediately.

CHEESE SOUFFLé IN 4 EASY STEPS



Cheese soufflé in 4 easy steps image

Didn't think you could manage a soufflé? Try this simple step-by-step recipe and conquer a classic

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Brunch, Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Side dish, Starter, Supper

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

50g butter, plus extra for greasing
25g breadcrumbs
50g plain flour
1 tsp mustard powder
300ml milk
4 eggs
100g grated extra-strong cheddar (blue cheese, goat's cheese and smoked cheeses also work well)

Steps:

  • Preparing the soufflé dish: Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and place a baking sheet on the middle shelf. Butter a 15cm soufflé dish generously, then sprinkle in the breadcrumbs and rotate the dish to ensure the butter is evenly coated. Tip out any excess breadcrumbs.
  • Making a thick white sauce: In a pan, melt the butter over a medium heat; stir in the flour and mustard. Cook, stirring, for 1 min. Take off the heat and gradually stir in the milk, mixing it in thoroughly before adding more. Return to the heat and stir continuously until very thick (around 10 mins). Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool. Crack the eggs, placing the whites into a clean bowl and stirring the yolks into the sauce. Stir in cheddar and season well.
  • Adding the egg whites: Use a clean whisk to beat the egg whites until peaks form that just hold their shape (electric is best as it will make the job much quicker). Then take a metal spoon and gently stir the whipped whites into the white sauce in a figure of eight.
  • Top-hatting: Spoon the mixture into the dish. Run a cutlery knife around the edge to create a 'top hat' effect; this ensures the soufflé rises above the rim and doesn't stick. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 mins until the top is golden and risen and has a slight wobble. Serve immediately.
  • EQUIPMENT: 15cm soufflé dish, saucepan, 2 large mixing bowls, wooden spoon, spatula, baking sheet, large metal spoon, measuring jug, grater, electric whisk, cutlery knife.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese: It will determine the flavor and texture of your soufflé. For a classic cheese soufflé, use a combination of sharp cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. For a more flavorful soufflé, try using blue cheese, Gruyère, or goat cheese.
  • Use fresh ingredients: It will help to ensure that your soufflé is light and fluffy. If possible, use organic eggs and milk.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites: This will make them too stiff and prevent them from rising properly. Beat them until they are just stiff enough to hold soft peaks.
  • Fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture gently: You don't want to deflate the egg whites, so use a spatula and fold them in until they are just combined.
  • Bake the soufflé immediately: Don't let it sit around, or it will start to deflate. Place it in the oven as soon as it is assembled.

Conclusion:

Cheese pudding soufflés are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized with various cheeses and flavors. Try experimenting with different cheese combinations and fillings to create your own unique soufflé recipes. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect cheese pudding soufflés that will impress your family and friends.
