Easy Egg Spinach Souffle Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the spinach in a colander to drain, pressing out as much excess liquid as you can.
• Make the bechamel sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add the flour and stir until it becomes a thick paste. Add the milk 1/2 cup at a time, whisking well after each addition, until you have a smooth sauce. Remove from the heat and whisk in the salt, nutmeg and pepper. Taste for seasoning. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Beat the egg whites until just frothy with an electric mixer. Add the cream of tartar and beat on high speed until it forms firm peaks. Set aside.
• Whisk the egg yolks in a large bowl until they are pale yellow, then add the warm bechamel sauce a bit at a time. Switch to a large rubber spatula; gently mix in the spinach, Parmesan and 1/2 cup Romano. Fold in a third of the egg whites to lighten, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites until thoroughly combined but still light and fluffy.
• Lightly grease a 2-quart souffle dish with cooking spray or softened butter, then add the remaining 1/2 cup Romano and rotate the dish to coat the bottom and sides with the cheese. Pour in the souffle batter, then bake until puffy and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and dust a 1-1/2 quart souffle dish with grated Parmesan or breadcrumbs. Separate the eggs. Put egg whites in mixer bowl with cream of tartar. To make a white sauce, in a medium saucepan over medium high heat, melt the butter or margarine until it bubbles. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly until smooth and bubbly. Stir in milk all at once, than cook and stir until mixture boils and is smooth and thickened. To flavor the white sauce, stir in the cheese until melted. Stir in the spinach. Set aside. Beat the egg whites only until they cling to the side of the mixing bowl when you roll and tilt it. Add the yolks to the sauce, and stir. To fold the sauce into the whites, first mix about a quarter of the whites right into the sauce in the pan, then empty the sauce into the whites in the mixing bowl. Gingerly but thoroughly fold the sauce into the whites. Then pour that mixture into the prepared souffle dish. Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes. Don't open oven door for at least 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Use the oil to coat a 2-quart souffle dish. Set aside.
• Cook the spinach over medium-high heat, stirring until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain well, pressing out excess liquid.
• Puree in a food processor the spinach, ricotta, feta, salt, pepper and lemon zest. Scrape into a bowl and stir in 3 of the egg whites. Whip the remaining whites to soft peaks and gently fold them into the spinach mixture. Pour into the prepared dish and bake until set, about 40 minutes. Spoon onto plates and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Wash and trim spinach, leaving the water that clings to the leaves. Place in a large skillet and steam just until wilted, about 3-5 minutes. Drain and chop; set aside. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Blend in flour and pepper; cook and stir until bubbly. Slowly add milk; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Stir in onion, salt and nutmeg. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. In another bowl, beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored; stir into white sauce. Gently fold into egg whites along with spinach. Pour into a greased 1-1/2-qt. casserole or souffle dish. Place casserole in a larger pan; fill larger pan with 1 in. of water. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until a knife inserted halfway between the center and edge comes out clean. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease sides and bottom of an 8 inch square baking dish.
• In a large bowl, mix together the cottage cheese and eggs. Stir in spinach, salt, nutmeg, and 11/4 cups of shredded Cheddar cheese. Mix until well blended. Spread evenly into prepared pan.
• Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until firm. Remove from oven, and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Cook, drain and cool spinach.
• Beat eggs and add cottage cheese and grated cheese, flour and butter.
• Stir in spinach and pepper flakes. Top with red pepper rings.
• Bake in 9x13 casserole 325 deg. For 1 hour.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Transfer to a greased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Bake at 350° until edges are lightly browned, 35-40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat over to 350.
• If you don't have cooked spinach, you can quickly zap one of Green Giants "no sauce" frozen spinach packages while you begin your preparations.
• Grease 8"x8" glass dish (or souffle dish if you have one) - I use softened butter for this.
• Separate your eggs putting your white in a bowl to be blended and the yolks set aside for later.
• I typically microwave the milk for 2 minutes to heat it which makes the stove time shorter.
• Grate your onion (you want to grate versus chop for 2 reasons: one is texture and the other is that grated onion infuses the flavor better than chopped).
• Melt your butter over medium/medium-low heat in a 10" non-stick skillet.
• Once melted, add the flour stirring constantly until you have a thick even consistency.
• Add the milk and seasonings stirring constantly until thickened and even - if you've preheated the milk this part will go fairly quickly, if not - it will take a few minutes.
• Stir in the onion and spinach until evenly distributed and smooth.
• Remove pan from heat and quickly stir in the yokes.
• Once completely mixed, pour contents of pan into large glass bowl and set aside.
• Mix egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
• Add 1/3 of whites mixture to the yolk/spinach mix and stir gently - the whites should make the other mixture lighter and fluffier.
• Fold in remaining whites and gentle pour or spoon mixture into greased pan.
• Cook until browned on top (about 30 minutes) - eat immediately (It will fall the longer it sits - it still tastes as good but won't look as pretty).
• ***To make a Cheese Souffle instead, swap the onion and spinach out for 1 cup of shredded cheese. I've used baby swiss, a colby/jack mix -- anything will work - it's a taste preference.
