Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 cup whole milk, heated
1 cup lightly packed coarsely grated Gruyere cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 large egg yolks plus 5 large egg whites
Pinch cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven, making sure the rack above it is high enough to allow the souffle to rise a few inches above the top of a 1 1/2-quart souffle dish; preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Using 1 tablespoon of the butter, grease the souffle dish. Place 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan in the dish and shake the dish so that the cheese coats the bottom and sides.
  • In a large saucepan, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking continuously, until the mixtures gets a bit foamy, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the cayenne, remove the pan from the heat, whisk in the hot milk, then return the pan to the heat and simmer, whisking all the while. Add the Gruyere and the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan and cook, whisking, until the cheese melts and the mixture thickens, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the mustard, salt and pepper. Whisk in the egg yolks 1 at a time, whisking quickly until they are completely incorporated.
  • In a large metal bowl, use a large whisk or an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until they start to become foamy, then add the cream of tartar and continue beating until the whites form stiff peaks with a little droop at the very tip. Transfer about one-quarter of the egg whites to the yolk mixture, stir until just blended, then dump half of the rest of the whites into the yolk mixture and use a flexible spatula to gently fold them in. Repeat with the rest of the whites, folding just until barely blended with a few streaks of white remaining.
  • Turn the mixture into the prepared souffle dish, smooth the top and run your thumb around the inside rim to remove any bits of Parmesan and also to allow the souffle to rise to its fullest height. Bake until the top has risen about 2 inches above the rim and barely jiggles a bit when you lightly shake the dish, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Serve immediately. Use a large spoon and make sure every serving includes some of the crusty outside and top and the creamier interior.

Time 1h

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Butter, room temperature, for greasing the souffle
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/3 cups milk, hot
4 large egg yolks (2 1/2 ounces by weight)
6 ounces sharp Cheddar
5 egg whites plus 1 tablespoon water (5 1/2 ounces by weight plus 1/2 ounce water)
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Use room temperature butter to grease an 8-inch souffle mold. Add the grated Parmesan and roll around the mold to cover the sides. Cover with plastic wrap and place into the freezer for 5 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the butter. Allow all of the water to cook out.
  • In a separate bowl combine the flour, dry mustard, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Whisk this mixture into the melted butter. Cook for 2 minutes.
  • Whisk in the hot milk and turn the heat to high. Once the mixture reaches a boil, remove from the heat.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks to a creamy consistency. Temper the yolks into the milk mixture, constantly whisking. Remove from the heat and add the cheese. Whisk until incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, using a hand mixer, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until glossy and firm. Add 1/4 of the mixture to the base. Continue to add the whites by thirds, folding very gently.
  • Pour the mixture into the souffle. Fill the souffle to 1/2-inch from the top. Place on an aluminum pie pan. Bake in the oven for 35 minutes.

CHEESE SOUFFLé IN 4 EASY STEPS

Didn't think you could manage a soufflé? Try this simple step-by-step recipe and conquer a classic

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Brunch, Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Side dish, Starter, Supper

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

50g butter, plus extra for greasing
25g breadcrumbs
50g plain flour
1 tsp mustard powder
300ml milk
4 eggs
100g grated extra-strong cheddar (blue cheese, goat's cheese and smoked cheeses also work well)

Steps:

  • Preparing the soufflé dish: Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and place a baking sheet on the middle shelf. Butter a 15cm soufflé dish generously, then sprinkle in the breadcrumbs and rotate the dish to ensure the butter is evenly coated. Tip out any excess breadcrumbs.
  • Making a thick white sauce: In a pan, melt the butter over a medium heat; stir in the flour and mustard. Cook, stirring, for 1 min. Take off the heat and gradually stir in the milk, mixing it in thoroughly before adding more. Return to the heat and stir continuously until very thick (around 10 mins). Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool. Crack the eggs, placing the whites into a clean bowl and stirring the yolks into the sauce. Stir in cheddar and season well.
  • Adding the egg whites: Use a clean whisk to beat the egg whites until peaks form that just hold their shape (electric is best as it will make the job much quicker). Then take a metal spoon and gently stir the whipped whites into the white sauce in a figure of eight.
  • Top-hatting: Spoon the mixture into the dish. Run a cutlery knife around the edge to create a 'top hat' effect; this ensures the soufflé rises above the rim and doesn't stick. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 mins until the top is golden and risen and has a slight wobble. Serve immediately.
  • EQUIPMENT: 15cm soufflé dish, saucepan, 2 large mixing bowls, wooden spoon, spatula, baking sheet, large metal spoon, measuring jug, grater, electric whisk, cutlery knife.

CHEESE SOUFFLé



Cheese Soufflé image

I swoon at a well-made cheese soufflé, a dish that nobody seems to make anymore. When I was learning to cook, that soufflé seemed like the ultimate challenge, and never was I more proud than when I made my first successful one, puffed high and golden brown, its center still a molten sauce. They are actually quite easy. But they do require the best eggs and cheese (and I wouldn't scoff at a truffle), and attention when you beat the egg whites, because if you overbeat them they'll break apart when you fold them into the béchamel with the cheese. Instead of Gruyère alone you can also use a mix of nutty-tasting Gruyère style cheeses; for example, use a mix of Comté (French Gruyère), Beaufort or Fribourg and Gruyère, or substitute Comté for all of the Gruyère.

Time 1h40m

Yield 5 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

55 grams butter (3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons)
35 grams Parmesan (1/3 cup), grated
20 grams minced shallot (2 tablespoons)
45 grams flour (4 tablespoons), sifted
1 1/2 cups milk
3 grams salt (1/2 teaspoon), more as needed
Pinch of freshly ground white pepper
Pinch of nutmeg
6 large egg yolks
7 large egg whites
1 gram cream of tartar (1/8 teaspoon)
100 grams Gruyère cheese (1 cup), grated
1 good-size black or white truffle, grated (optional)

Steps:

  • Using 10 grams (2 teaspoons) butter, grease a 2-quart soufflé dish. Dust with 12 grams (2 tablespoons) Parmesan. Heat oven to 400 degrees with rack positioned in the lower third.
  • Make the béchamel: Place a strainer over a large bowl and set aside. Heat remaining butter over medium heat in a heavy medium-size saucepan. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until softened (do not brown), 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in flour and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes, until smooth and bubbling, but not browned. It should have the texture of wet sand. Remove from heat and whisk in milk all at once. Return to heat and bring to a simmer while whisking. Continue to whisk until mixture begins to thicken. Turn heat to very low and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring often with a whisk and scraping bottom and edges of pan with a rubber spatula. The sauce will be quite thick and should have no taste of raw flour. Add 3 grams ( 1/2 teaspoon) salt, the white pepper and the nutmeg. While it is still hot, strain sauce into the large bowl.
  • Immediately beat egg yolks into sauce, one at a time. Adjust salt and pepper.
  • In a stand mixer or using electric beaters, begin beating egg whites on low speed. When they begin to foam, add cream of tartar and a pinch of salt. Continue to beat until they form stiff but not dry peaks. Be careful not to overbeat or egg whites will fall apart when you fold them into sauce, which will make your soufflé mixture grainy.
  • Using a large rubber spatula, stir a quarter of the egg whites into sauce. Stir in Gruyère, remaining Parmesan and truffle if using. Gently fold remaining whites into mixture, working rapidly but gingerly so whites don't collapse. Carefully spoon or pour mixture into prepared soufflé dish and place dish on a baking sheet.
  • Place in oven, turning heat down to 375 degrees as soon as you close the oven door. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until soufflé has puffed above the top of the dish, and soufflé top is golden brown. Turn off oven. If desired, let sit 5 minutes (the sauce in the middle will thicken slightly, but the soufflé will remain puffed) or serve at once. The center of the soufflé should be saucy. When you serve the soufflé, spoon sauce from the middle over each fluffy serving.

EASY CHEESE SOUFFLES



Easy Cheese Souffles image

Doesn't it feel great to eliminate a step in a classic recipe and have the new one turn out better? I was actually working on something I was going to call 'cheesecake souffle,' and since I was adding cream cheese to the base, I decided to skip the classic white sauce, and simply smear everything together.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Eggs

Time 32m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons white sugar, or as needed
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
⅓ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Brush butter on the bottom and up the sides of two 5 1/2-ounce ramekins. Scoop in some sugar; rotate ramekins to coat while pouring most of the sugar back into its container. Place ramekins on a shallow baking pan.
  • Separate eggs between 2 bowls. Add sugar, flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, vanilla extract, lemon zest, cream cheese, and Cheddar cheese to the yolks. Mix the souffle base with a spatula until sugar and flour disappear.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the room-temperature egg whites. Beat with a whisk until soft peaks form; peaks should hold their shape but not be stiff or dry. Stir and fold 1/2 of the egg whites into the souffle base until combined. Gently fold the rest of the egg whites into the batter.
  • Fill ramekins up to the lip with the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and browned, about 12 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère are both good choices.
  • Make sure the butter and milk are cold before you start cooking. This will help to keep the soufflé light and fluffy.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites. They should be stiff but not dry.
  • Fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture gently. Do not stir, as this will deflate the egg whites.
  • Pour the soufflé mixture into a greased baking dish and bake in a preheated oven. Do not open the oven door during baking, as this will cause the soufflé to fall.
  • Serve the soufflé immediately. It will start to fall after a few minutes.

Conclusion:

A cheese soufflé is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is relatively easy to make, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind to ensure success. By following the tips in this article, you can create a perfect soufflé that will wow your guests.
