Asparagus Goat Cheese Souffle Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, squash, and asparagus and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the pepper strips and scallions. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the cheeses and the cooled vegetables.
• Spray the loaf pan with vegetable oil spray, line the bottom with a piece of parchment paper, and spray again.
• Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pan, and top with another piece of vegetable oil sprayed parchment paper. Place the pan in a larger baking dish and place on the center oven rack. Pour enough hot water into the baking dish to reach halfway up the loaf pan. Bake until the center is firm and a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
• Remove the souffle from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Run a butter knife around the edges of the pan to release the souffle. Turn the souffle out onto a cutting board and remove the parchment paper. Cut the souffle into 8 slices and serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add the goat cheese, ricotta and 2 eggs to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse until the mixture is evenly combined. Next, add the Parmesan, parsley, chives, dill, lemon zest, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pulse once again to combine all the ingredients. The mixture may look slightly liquidy, but once it bakes the egg will help stabilize the cheese mixture. Set aside.
• On a separate rimmed baking sheet, toss the asparagus with the olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
• Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured work space and dust a rolling pin lightly with flour. Roll the puff pastry out to a 13-by-11-inch rectangle. Add the goat cheese-herb mixture to the puff pastry and spread it out into an even layer, leaving a 1-inch border all the way around the puff pastry. Nestle in the asparagus into the cheese mixture, alternating directions.
• To make the egg wash, whisk the remaining egg with a splash of water. Use a pastry brush to brush the exposed crust all the way around the edges.
• Transfer the tart to the oven and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese mixture is set, 25 to 30 minutes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Arrange asparagus, side-by-side, on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over asparagus; season with salt and pepper. Crumble goat cheese over asparagus.
• Roast in the preheated oven until cheese is slightly melted and asparagus are tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Rub inside of six 3/4-cup soufflé dishes or ramekins with 2 tablespoons butter. Coat with breadcrumbs; tap out excess. Set aside.
• Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour and cook 2 minutes, whisking constantly. Gradually whisk in milk. Increase heat to medium. Simmer mixture until very thick, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Add half of goat cheese and whisk until melted and smooth. Mix in salt and pepper. Whisk egg yolks in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in hot soufflé base. Cool 5 minutes.
• Beat whites in large bowl until stiff but not dry. Mix 1/4 of whites into soufflé base to lighten. Fold in remaining whites. Fold in remaining goat cheese. Divide mixture among prepared soufflé dishes. Place in 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Add enough hot water to pan to come halfway up sides of dishes.
• Bake soufflés until puffed and golden brown on top and softly set in center, about 20 minutes. Serve soufflés immediately in their dishes. Or for twice-baked version, cool soufflés in dishes in water for 5 minutes. Remove soufflés from water. Run small sharp knife around sides of dishes to loosen soufflés. Turn out onto buttered baking sheet. Refrigerate up to 4 hours. Before serving, rewarm soufflés on same sheet in 350°F oven until heated through, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a wide medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the asparagus; cook until bright green and just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Plunge asparagus into the ice bath to stop the cooking; cool completely. Drain; halve lengthwise. Set aside.
• Melt butter in a 12-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Remove skillet from heat; set aside. Whisk together egg yolks, flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl until pale and thick; set aside.
• Put egg whites and a pinch of salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold whites into yolk mixture. Using a large rubber spatula, spread mixture evenly into reserved skillet. Bake until omelet is almost set but still soft, about 6 minutes.
• Sprinkle goat cheese and mint over half the omelet. Top with asparagus and a layer of ham. Fold plain half over filled half. Bake until cheese has melted and omelet is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Cut into 4 wedges, and serve.

Steps:

• Cook asparagus in a saucepan of boiling water until bright green but still crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer asparagus to ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and stir until mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 2 minutes.
• Whisk milk into butter-flour mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and cayenne pepper.
• Place milk mixture, garlic, and asparagus in a blender and puree until smooth.
• Pour asparagus mixture into a large bowl; stir in egg yolks and Cheddar cheese.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C)
• Generously butter 4 (6-ounce) ramekins
• Beat egg whites in a large glass or metal mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak
• Stir half of egg whites into asparagus cheese mixture until just combined. Gently fold remaining egg whites into mixture.
• Fill prepared ramekins about 3/4 full and place on a baking sheet; bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium bowl, use a fork or a wooden spoon to mash together the goat cheese, egg, garlic, tarragon, lemon zest, salt and nutmeg until smooth. Switch to a whisk and beat in the crème fraîche until smooth.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry into a 13-by-11-inch rectangle about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined cookie sheet. With a sharp knife, lightly score a 1/2-inch border around the edges of the puff pastry.
• Spread the crème fraîche mixture evenly inside the scored border. Line up the asparagus spears on top, and brush them with olive oil. Sprinkle some salt and the grated Parmesan over the asparagus.
• Bake until the pastry is puffed and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Let it cool on the cookie sheet for at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours before serving. Then sprinkle black pepper, red-pepper flakes (if using), the shaved Parmesan and tarragon leaves. Drizzle a little oil on top.

Steps:

• 1. Steam the asparagus until just tender and set aside. Get a full kettle of water on the boil. You will need it for your bain marie...and set the grate in your stove to the bottom placement. Preheat the oven to 375'F.
• 2. Butter your souffle dish. If you wish to put a parchment paper collar around the dish, butter the top half of the collar and tie it with the buttered side facing inside the dish with kitchen twine. I didn't find this necessary because my souffle didn't rise up over the edge. Put the asparagus in the bottom of the buttered dish.
• 3. Over low heat, melt the butter in a heavy skillet. Whisk in the flour until smooth; gradually add the milk, stir constantly until the sauce thickens.
• 4. Add cheeses and seasonings; stir until the cheese melts. Add the beaten egg yolks and stir well. Remove from the heat; fold the egg whites into the cheese sauce.
• 5. Pour the mixture into your prepared souffle dish. Set the dish in a bigger dish and put it in the oven.
• 6. Being careful not to get any water into your souffle pour the boiling water from the kettle into the bigger dish. The water should be 1/2 inch deep around the souffle dish.
• 7. Turn the heat down to 350'F and bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until the souffle is golden on the top. It should rise up at least 3 times it's original size. Test it with a long wooden skewer. If any of the souffle is moist at the bottom leave it in a few more minutes. It should be totally cooked through.
• 8. The souffle should be crusty on the top but still jiggly when you shake it. Serve immediately, otherwise the souffle will lose it's nice crust on the top.
• 9. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Arrange the asparagus on a platter.
• Beat the vinegar and mustard together, then beat in the olive oil. Sprinkle the goat cheese over the asparagus, drizzle with the dressing, then season with pepper.
• Sprinkle with chervil and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Butter well and chill 8 1 1/4-cup souffle dishes.
• In separate pots boil asparagus and potatoes in lightly salted water until soft. Drain well. Meanwhile, lightly toast sesame seeds by placing in hot nonstick fry pan. Set aside.
• Place asparagus and potatoes in food processor or blender with ricotta. Puree slightly. Add salt, pepper, ginger, pepper flakes and scallions and puree well. You should have about 3 cups. Transfer mixture to bowl.
• Add yolks to mixture and blend well with wire whisk. In another bowl whisk whites until they form soft peaks. Fold 1/4 of whites into asparagus mixture, then remainder. Do not overwork mixture. Taste for seasoning.
• Place souffle dishes on baking sheet and fill to rim with mixture. Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly onto souffles. Before placing in oven run thumb around rim of each to remove any overflow, which could cling and prevent souffle from rising fully. Bake for approximately 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in heavy small skillet over medium heat. Add chopped shallot and sauté until beginning to soften, about 1 minute. Transfer to medium bowl. Mix in goat cheese, chopped asparagus, and lemon peel. Season filling to taste with salt and pepper.
• Place sheet of plastic wrap on work surface. Using 1/5 of salmon, form 6x3-inch rectangle atop plastic, overlapping salmon slightly. Spoon 1/5 of filling along 1 long side of rectangle, leaving 1/2-inch plain border. Using plastic as aid, roll up salmon into tight log. Repeat with remaining salmon and filling, forming 4 more logs. Refrigerate logs until firm, about 2 hours or overnight.
• Remove plastic from logs. Cut each log crosswise into 4 pieces. Arrange on platter and serve.
