Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 thin asparagus spears (ends trimmed), cut into 1-inch pieces
2 1/2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2/3 cup milk
2 large eggs, separated
2/3 cup (packed) grated Swiss cheese (about 3 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Generously butter two 1 1/4-cup soufflé dishes or custard cups. Divide asparagus pieces between prepared dishes. Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan. Drizzle 3/4 teaspoon butter over asparagus in each dish. Reserve remaining butter in pan. Bake asparagus until just tender and beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. Maintain oven temperature. Meanwhile, add flour and mustard to remaining butter in pan and whisk until smooth paste forms. Set over medium heat and whisk 1 minute. Whisk milk and yolks to blend in small bowl; whisk into flour mixture. Cook until sauce thickens, whisking constantly, about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Add grated cheese, salt and pepper and stir until cheese melts.
  • Beat egg whites in medium bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into warm cheese mixture in pan. Spoon all of soufflé batter over asparagus in dishes.
  • Bake soufflés until puffed and golden, about 14 minutes. Serve immediately.
