Mini Ricotta Spinach Souffles Recipes

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 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:

• Cook the diced onion with the fresh spinach in olive oil until spinach is wilted. About 2 minutes. Set aside. Beat the eggs w/ both cheeses, salt and pepper. When spinach mixture has cooled add it to the egg mixture. If you are making a large souffle, then place in a greased square baking dish with 4" sides. If you are making appetizer size souffles, then butter a dish with lower sides (I used a rectangle Pyrex baking casserole, 8x10), and pour batter in the dish. Bake at 350F for about 35 minutes until puffed. You can serve the dish hot, however, if you are making mini appetizers, then place the baking dish in the fridge for 4 hours (or overnight) until the souffle has completely cooled and firmed up. Now you are ready to use your biscuit cutter to cut out shapes. I used a 2" fluted edge cutter and easily cut out the rounds. (eat the leftover scraps as you go!). Garnish each souffle with a roasted red pepper piece and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees and position rack in lower third. Butter a one-quart casserole dish and dust with flour, shaking out excess. In a bowl, whisk ricotta, egg yolks, salt, and herbs. Season with pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk whites until stiff peaks form. Working in two batches, gently fold whites with a large rubber spatula into ricotta mixture until just combined.
• Pour mixture into prepared dish and bake until puffed, golden brown, and firm to the touch, 30 to 32 minutes.

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.
