Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing the ramekins
2 tablespoons sugar, plus more for the ramekins
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk, warmed
5 eggs, separated
Pinch salt
Ground white pepper
Pinch ground nutmeg
1 cup crumbled blue cheese
Pinch cream of tartar
8 fresh black mission figs, split in 1/2 lengthwise
1/2 cup honey
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Prepare 4 (8-ounce) ramekins by greasing them with softened butter and then coating them with sugar, tapping out any excess.
  • Make a thick bechamel sauce base by melting the 3 tablespoons of butter over low-medium heat in a thick-bottomed pot. Just as the foam subsides, add the flour, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent lumps. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes to coat the flour with fat and remove the starchy taste; do not allow the roux to brown. Add the warm milk to the mixture and continue to whisk until smooth and thick. Remove from the heat. Beat in the egg yolks 1 at a time. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the cheese until incorporated evenly. Chill the mixture while whipping the egg whites.
  • In a separate clean bowl beat the egg whites and cream of tartar just until soft peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the beaten whites into the bechamel mixture to lighten it. Then gently fold in the rest. Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins and place on a cookie sheet. Bake on the middle rack for about 25 minutes.
  • The souffle is done when it has puffed over the rim, the outside is golden, and the center jiggles slightly.
  • Serve with fresh figs and a drizzle of honey. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

This souffle was a bit too eggy for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less eggs next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The sweetness of the figs and the sharpness of the blue cheese balanced each other out perfectly. I will defin
