Apple and Cheddar Cheese Souffles image

Even a regular sharp Cheddar souffle is an amazing thing, but when you add little pieces of caramelized apple, you're talking about taking it up to a whole 'nother level of awesomeness.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon butter
1 Granny Smith apple - peeled, cored, and diced
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup 2% milk
½ teaspoon salt
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
2 eggs, separated
3 ounces sharp white Cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter just until the edges of the butter look slightly browned and smells nutty, about 1 minute. Stir apples into butter and cook until they just begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar and continue to cook until apples are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Transfer apples to a plate and spread out to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 4 ramekins generously with butter. Place ramekins onto a sheet pan.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat; stir in flour and cook until mixture is smooth and raw taste of flour is cooked out of the roux, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour milk into roux, bring to a simmer, and whisk until mixture thickens to a smooth white sauce, about 2 minutes. Cook, whisking, for 1 minute more and remove from heat; cool white sauce to lukewarm temperature.
  • Pour white sauce into a large mixing bowl and whisk in salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, and egg yolks. Stir Cheddar cheese into white sauce mixture until thoroughly combined.
  • Whisk egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until they hold soft, fluffy peaks, about 2 minutes. Gently fold half the beaten egg whites into the souffle batter. Repeat with remaining whites to make a soft, airy batter. Fold in cooled apple mixture. Divide mixture into prepared ramekins.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until souffles have risen and tops are browned, about 22 minutes. Souffles will fall slightly as they cool. Serve warm.

I think the recipe could have been more detailed. I had a few questions while I was making the soufflés that weren't answered in the recipe.

I found that these soufflés were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less sugar.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soufflés didn't rise very much. They still tasted good, but they weren't as impressive as I had hoped.
