SPINACH AND CHEDDAR SOUFFLE



Spinach and Cheddar Souffle image

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing the dish
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for sprinkling
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup scalded milk
1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 extra-large egg yolks, at room-temperature
1/2 cup grated aged Cheddar cheese, lightly packed
1 package frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
5 extra-large egg whites, at room temperature
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter the inside of a 6 to 8-cup souffle dish (6 1/2 to 7 1/2 inches in diameter by 3 1/2 inches deep) and sprinkle evenly with Parmesan.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. With a wooden spoon, stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Off the heat, whisk in the hot milk, the nutmeg, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, for 1 minute, until smooth and thick.
  • Off the heat, while still hot, whisk in the egg yolks, one at a time. Stir in the Cheddar, 1/4 cup of Parmesan and the spinach and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • Put the egg whites, cream of tartar, and a pinch of salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on low speed for 1 minute, on medium speed for 1 minute, then finally on high speed until they form firm, glossy peaks.
  • Whisk one quarter of the egg whites into the cheese sauce to lighten and then fold in the rest. Pour into the souffle dish, then smooth the top. Draw a large circle on top with the spatula to help the souffle rise evenly, and place in the middle of the oven. Turn the temperature down to 375 degrees F. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes (don't peek!) until puffed and brown. Serve immediately.

SPINACH CHEESE SQUARES



Spinach Cheese Squares image

I found this in my mother's collection of recipe clippings, from the 1960's. The only change I made was to reduce the salt to one-half teaspoon. You could probably substitute frozen chopped spinach to save time. I think these taste great at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Utilize Fresh Spinach: Using fresh spinach leaves instead of frozen ones will yield a more vibrant color and better flavor in your squares.
  • Don't Overcook the Spinach: Wilting the spinach briefly over medium heat helps retain its color and nutrients. Avoid overcooking it, as this can result in a mushy texture.
  • Use High-Quality Cheddar Cheese: Opt for a good-quality, sharp cheddar cheese for a bolder flavor. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella, Parmesan, or Gruyère, to create variations.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in dense and tough squares. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined to ensure a light and fluffy texture.
  • Bake until Golden Brown: Keep an eye on the baking time and remove the squares from the oven when they are golden brown on top. This indicates that they are cooked through and have achieved the desired texture.

Conclusion:

Spinach cheddar squares are a delightful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
