Souffle Au Fromage Cheese Souffle Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Butter the bread slices on both sides (use the whole stick), then cut them into 3/4-inch squares. (Leave the crust on.)
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl until foamy, then gradually whisk in the milk.
• Alternate layers of bread and Cheddar in a low 2-quart oval baking dish, starting with the bread and ending with Cheddar (4 layers total). Pour in the egg mixture, and press the bread and Cheddar down into the egg. Refrigerate overnight, covered, so the bread soaks up the liquid.
• About 1 1/2 hours before serving, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Bake until puffed, golden and cooked through, about 1 hour. Serve hot or warm.

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.

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.

Steps:

• Use a 6-8 cup souffle dish or 4 individual 10 ounce souffle dishes.
• Pull a sheet of aluminum foil slightly more then 3 times longer then the diameter of the dish and fold it lengthwise over itself with the shiny side showing. The foil strip should be wide enough to cover the outside of the dish and rise at least 3 inches above the rim.
• Rub the strip of foil and the inside of the dish with softened butter. Wrap the foil around the dish and attach it by pinching together at the top so it stays in place (you can also use a paper clip).
• Evenly sprinkle the Parmigiano-Reggiano all around the dish and the foil until they are covered with a layer of cheese. Do NOT touch the inside after this point. Put dish in refrigerator.
• Make the Mornay Sauce: Melt butter in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir in the flour with a whisk until smooth. Gradually pour in milk while whisking and bring to a simmer over high heat, while continuing to whisk. Boil for a couple of minutes until sauce thickens a bit and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat, stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano, and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Whisk in egg yolks one at a time. Reserve up to 2 days, covered.
• Preheat oven to 350°F if you are using a 6 or 8 cup souffle dish or to 375°F if you are using individual souffle dishes.
• Beating and Folding: Put egg whites into a very clean bowl of standing mixer fitted with whisk. Turn on low to break up the whites. Add a pinch of salt and a small pinch of cream of tartar. Gradually increase speed to high. Keep a sharp eye on the whites, it only takes about 4 minutes to get to stiff peaks - that's when they stick straight out when you hold the whisk or beater sideways, instead of softly flopping over. Take the bowl off the standing mixer and finish the soufflé by hand (or 6-8 minutes by hand).
• Take out one-fourth of the beaten whites and stir into 1 cups of the cooled (but not cold) Mornay Sauce - this lightens up the Mornay and makes it easier to fold in the whites.
• Pour the Mornay Sauce down the side of the bowl containing the remaining whites and sprinkle the 3/4 cup finely grated cheese over the top. Fold everything together using a rubber spatula, pressing the spatula down to the bottom of the bowl where most of the heavier sauce base will have settled and lift up the base, gently folding it over the whites. Continue cutting into the whites, but not pushing against them, to combine the mixture. Don't overdo it; a few uncombined pieces of white are less of a problem than overworking the mixture.
• Gently pour the mixture into the soufflé dishes - the mixture should come up somewhere between 3/4ths of the way up and the top. Slide the sheet pan of soufflés into the oven. Turn up the oven to 375°F or to 385°F if making individual souffles.
• Bake a large souffle for 40 to 50 minutes or individual souffles for 15 to 20 minutes. Soufflés are done when risen about half its original height and when sheet pan jiggled back and forth the tops won't rock - if the insides are underdone, the tops will rock slightly.
• Side Note: "If you rush the soufflé to the table and cut into it and see that it's undercooked, don't panic. Be as nonchalant as possible and just put soufflés back in the oven and cook it a few more minutes. An underdone soufflé won't fall much once out of the oven, an overdone one will.".
• Take the sheet pan with the soufflés out of the oven and immediately pull away the collar, and bring the souffle to the table. If you are serving individual soufflés, put each souffle on a plate and sit it before a guest. If you are serving one big soufflé, serve it at the table on heated plates. Make sure everyone gets some savory crust. The creamy center should function as a sauce for the rest.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
• Butter the inside of a 6 cup souffle mold and sprinkle it with 1 Tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese. .
• In a heavy saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, slowly.
• Stir in 3 tablespoons of flour with a wooden spoon and cook over moderate heat until butter and flour foam together for 2 minutes without browning.
• Remove from heat; when the mixture has stopped bubbling, pour in 1 cup of milk, that's been heated just to boiling, all at once.
• Beat vigorously with a whip until blended.
• Beat in 1/2 teaspoon of coarse salt, 1/8 teaspoon of freshly ground pepper, a pinch of cayenne pepper and a pinch of nutmeg.
• Return over moderately high heat and boil, stirring with the whip, for 1 minute. Sauce will be very thick.
• Remove the sauce from the heat.
• If you haven't done so already, immediately start to separate 5 eggs.
• Drop the whites into a bowl, add 4 yolks into the center of the hot sauce and beat in well, one at a time.
• Note, ONLY 4 YOLKS in the sauce, but save 5 WHITES! Adjust seasonings at this point.
• Add your egg whites to a clean mixing bowl with a pinch of salt and beat until stiff.
• Stir a big spoonful of the beaten whites into the sauce.
• Stir in 1 cup (minus 1 tablespoon) of grated Swiss cheese.
• Delicately fold in the rest of the egg whites. Be careful not to over-fold! This is a very important step!
• Turn the souffle mixture into the prepared mold, which should be almost 3/4 full. Tap bottom of mold lightly on the table, and smooth the surface of the souffle with the flat of a knife.
• Sprinkle the reserved tablespoon of Swiss cheese on top.
• Set on a rack in the middle of a preheated 400 degree oven and immediately turn the heat down to 375 (DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR FOR 20 MINUTES!).
• In 25-30 minutes the souffle will have puffed about 2 inches over the rim of the mold, and the top will be nicely browned.
• Bake 4-5 more minutes to firm it up, then serve at once.
• A well baked souffle will stay puffed for about 5 minutes in the turned off hot oven. As it cools, it begins to sink. Therefore, there should be no lingering when a souffle is to be eaten.
• To serve a souffle, puncture the top lightly with a serving spoon and fork--held vertically--and spread it apart for each serving!
• Bon Appetite!

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat; whisk in the flour, and cook until foaming.
• Add the milk and bring to a boil, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens.
• Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg and simmer for 1 minute.
• Take the pan from the heat and whisk the egg yolks into the hot sauce so that they cook and thicken slightly.
• Stir in the cheese, reserving a tablespoon for topping.
• Taste and adjust seasoning.
• The mixture should be highly seasoned to compensate for the bland egg whites.
• Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the sauce to prevent a skin from forming.
• Position a shelf in the lower third of the oven and remove the shelves above.
• Preheat oven to 425°.
• Thickly butter a 2-quart souffle dish, particularly around the rim.
• Reheat the cheese mixture until hot to the touch but do not let it boil, or it will cook into strings.
• Whisk the egg whites until stiff using a stand mixer and adding a pinch of salt to help the whites stiffen.
• Add about 1/4 of the egg whites to the hot cheese mixture and stir them together thoroughly.
• Add this mixture to the remaining egg whites and fold them together as lightly as possible.
• Spoon the mixture into the prepared dish; it should fill almost to the rim.
• Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top, and then run your thumb around the inside rim of the dish so the souffle rises evenly.
• Bake until puffed and brown, 20-25 minutes; if you like the center soft, remove the souffle when it still wobbles slightly if gently shaken; if you prefer it firm, leave it for another 3-5 minutes.
• Set the dish on a plate lined with a napkin, so the dish cannot slip.
• Take the souffle to the table at once.

Steps:

• Melt butter: blend in flour and seasonings.
• Add milk all at once, and cook over medium heat, stirring til mixture thickens and bubbles. Remove from heat. Add cheese; stir til cheese melts.
• Beat egg yolks til very thick and lemon colored.Slowly add cheese mixture, stirring constantly: cool slightly. Gradually pour over beaten egg whites, folding together thoroughly.
• Pour into UNGREASED 1 1/2 quart souffle dish or casserole. for a top hat(it puffs up in the oven) trace a circle through mixture 1 inch from edge, and 1-inch deep.
• To make a high souffle, measure wax paper, or parchment paper around your casserole, with one inch over lap. Fold it in thirds, lengthwise, and butter one side. Fasten the 'collar' around the top of your casserole so that it extends 2-inches above the top of our dish. After baking, remove the collar.
• Bake in slow oven, 300° for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or til a knife comes out clean. IMMEDIATELY break apart into servings with 2 forks, and serve.
