Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid crowns that are yellowing or have loose florets, as these may be older and less flavorful.
  • Steam the broccoli: Steaming is the best way to cook broccoli for this souffle, as it helps to preserve its nutrients and bright green color. You can steam broccoli in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water, or you can use a microwave steamer.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme, and chives, add a lot of flavor to this souffle. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount, as they are more concentrated.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the souffle tough. Stir the ingredients together just until they are combined.
  • Bake the souffle immediately: Once the batter is mixed, bake the souffle immediately. This will help to ensure that it rises properly.

Conclusion:

This decadent broccoli souffle is a delicious and impressive side dish that is perfect for any special occasion. It is light and airy, with a cheesy, flavorful filling. The tips above will help you make the perfect souffle every time.
