ZUCCHINI SOUFFLé



Zucchini Soufflé image

To keep the soufflé as light as possible, the zucchini is grated (the food processor makes short work of this), and then cooked with onion and garlic until it's really soft, almost melting. (If there's liquid in the pan when you're done, drain it to further lighten the mixture.)

Categories     dinner, main course, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 to 3 medium zucchini, grated
Salt
freshly ground black pepper
6 eggs, separated
8 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated
1/4 cup parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Butter four 1 1/2 -cup ramekins or one 6-cup soufflé dish. Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Put the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; when it's hot, add the onion and garlic and cook until soft, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the zucchini, season with salt and pepper, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until very tender, another 10 to 12 minutes. If you prefer, substitute a 10-ounce bag of spinach, chopped and cooked the same way. Drain the vegetables if there is excess liquid, and let cool.
  • In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and cheese with some salt and pepper. Add the vegetables and parsley and stir. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until they are light and fluffy and just hold soft peaks; stir about a third of the whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it, then gently fold in the remaining whites, trying not to deflate them much.
  • Pour the soufflé mixture into the ramekins or dish. Bake until golden and puffy, 30 to 35 minutes, and serve immediately.

ZUCCHINI SOUFFLE' RECIPE



ZUCCHINI SOUFFLE' Recipe image

Provided by junospride

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb Zucchini
1 lge Onion
1 cup Bisquick
1/2 cup Oil
4 Eggs
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/4 packet of Sweet & Low

Steps:

  • Peel & grate Zucchini, mix all ingredients and pour into 10 inch pie pan. Bake 350 deg. 45 mins.

Tips:

  • Select the right zucchini: Choose firm, tender zucchini with deep green skin and no blemishes. Avoid zucchini that is too large or has a yellow or orange tint.
  • Grate the zucchini properly: Use a box grater with large holes to grate the zucchini. This will create long, thin strands that will cook evenly and give the souffle a light and fluffy texture.
  • Don't overcook the zucchini: Cook the zucchini just until it is tender-crisp. Overcooking will make the zucchini mushy and watery, which will ruin the texture of the souffle.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, dill, or thyme add a burst of flavor to the souffle. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use only half the amount.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites: Be careful not to overbeat the egg whites, as this will make them dry and tough. Beat the egg whites until they are stiff but not dry, or until they form soft peaks.
  • Bake the souffle immediately: Once you have assembled the souffle, bake it immediately. This will prevent the souffle from deflating.

Conclusion:

Zucchini souffle is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is a great way to use up zucchini from your garden, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. With its light and fluffy texture and delicate flavor, zucchini souffle is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
