Yield Makes 4 (main course) to 6 (side dish) servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

For soufflé
3 tablespoons finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 1/4 cups finely chopped cauliflower florets
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
White pepper to taste
1/2 stick unsalted butter
4 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
6 large egg yolks
8 large egg whites
For brown butter
1 stick salted butter
Equipment
2-qt soufflé dish

Steps:

  • Make Soufflé:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle.
  • Generously butter soufflé dish, then sprinkle with cheese, knocking out excess.
  • Stir together cauliflower, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and white pepper to taste in a large bowl.
  • Melt butter in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, then cook, whisking, until pale golden, about 2 minutes. Add milk a little at a time, whisking constantly until very smooth. Bring sauce to a boil, whisking, then simmer, whisking, until quite thick, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in yolks, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir into cauliflower mixture.
  • Beat whites in a bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until they just hold stiff peaks (they should not look dry). Stir a heaping spoonful of whites into yolk mixture to lighten, then gently fold in remaining whites until just combined.
  • Gently spoon into soufflédish (leave at least 1 inches of space at top) and bake until golden brown and top appears set, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Make Brown Butter:
  • Cook butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it turns golden with a nutlike fragrance and flecks on bottom of pan turn a rich caramel brown, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Serve soufflé immediately, drizzling with warm brown butter.

The soufflé didn't rise as much as I expected. I think I might have overbeaten the egg whites.

I found that this soufflé was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I would recommend using less cheese or adding some other vegetables to balance out the flavor.
