Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
- Set aside three cloves of garlic for the basic sauce. Put the remaining garlic cloves in a small, shallow baking dish and add the olive oil, water, one-half teaspoon thyme, one bay leaf, salt and pepper. Cover closely and place in the oven. Bake one and one-half hours or until the garlic is totally tender. Baste the garlic pieces occasionally as they cook.
- Meanwhile, melt the six tablespoons butter in a heavy saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. Bring the half-andhalf and heavy cream to the boil in a small saucepan and add it to the flour and butter mixture, stirring rapidly with the whisk. When thickened and smooth, add salt to taste. Set the saucepan in a basin of simmering water.
- Tie the quartered onion, the reserved garlic cloves, one-half teaspoon thyme, the remaining two bay leaves, parsley sprigs and peppercorns in a small square of cheesecloth. Bring up the ends and tie them to make a bag. Add this to the sauce. Cover closely and let the sauce cook in simmering water about one hour, stirring the sauce occasionally. Remove the saucepan from the water and let it cool briefly. Remove and discard the cheesecloth bag.
- Increase the oven heat to 450 degrees.
- Put the baked garlic through a food mill, pressing to extract as much pulp and liquid as possible from the solids. Or press it through a sieve, using a pestle. There should be about one and one-half tablespoons. Add this to the cream sauce and stir.
- Add the egg yolks, the Gruyere or Swiss cheese and two-thirds cup of the Parmesan and beat well to blend. Add the cayenne, salt and pepper and blend well.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff. Add half of them to the cheese sauce and beat them in. Add the remaining whites and fold them quickly until well distributed.
- Generously butter a 12-inch oval, ovenproof platter. Pour in the souffle mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and thyme. Place on the top rack of the oven and bake 10 minutes until well browned.

Steps:

- Melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter in a heavy medium saucepan and whisk in flour. Cook roux over low heat, whisking constantly, 5 minutes.
- Strain milk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, then add to roux, whisking until smooth. Bring to a boil, whisking, then simmer béchamel, whisking, 3 minutes. Remove from heat and vigorously whisk in yolks 1 at a time. Whisk in roasted garlic, parmesan, nutmeg, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and transfer to a bowl.
- Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until they just hold stiff peaks, then stir one third of egg whites into yolk mixture. Fold in Gruyère, then remaining whites. Transfer mixture to gratin dish, smoothing top, and sprinkle with thyme leaves.

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.

Garlic Soufflé: Top-Rated Recipes and Essential Techniques
Garlic soufflé is a classic French dish that combines the flavors of cheese, butter, and eggs with the pungent aroma of roasted or sautéed minced or slices of various types of garlicky sauces. This article explores the best tips and techniques for creating an unforgettable soufflé, from selecting the right ingredients to mastering the perfect rise.Essential Ingredients and Substitutions:
- Eggs: Use large, fresh eggs, preferably organic and free-range. Older eggs may not produce the desired rise.
- Butter: Opt for high-quality unsalted butter with at least 82% fat content. Use it chilled, cut into small pieces.
- Cheese: A combination of grated Parmesan and Gruyère cheeses is a classic choice. You can also use other aromatic and flavors such as cheddar, mozzarella, or goat cheese.
- Cream: Use heavy cream with at least 35% fat content. It imparts richness and a velvety texture to the soufflé.
- Flour: All-purpose or plain white pastry will work well. It acts as a binder and helps to thicken the mixture.
- Flavorings: Garlic, of course! Use a combination of roasted or sautéed minced or slices of various types of garlicky sauces. Other popular additions include herbs, such as chives, tarragon, or dill, and spices like nutmeg or paprika.
Key Techniques for Achieving the Ideal Soufflé:
- Proper Egg Separation: Carefully separate the egg yolks and whites, making sure no yolk gets into the whites. This is essential for achieving maximum volume.
- Beating the Egg Whites: Use a clean bowl and whisk or an electric hand mixer to beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Do not over-whip, as this can cause the mixture to become dry and crumbly.
- Tempering the Yolks: Slowly whisk the yolks into the hot milk mixture, stirring vigorously to prevent the yolks from curdling. Tempering ensures the mixture cooks evenly.
- Folding the Mixture: When combining the yolk mixture with the beaten egg whites, do so carefully and in small batches, folding them together rather than beating them. This helps to incorporate air without deflating the soufflé.
- Baking and Resting: Pour the mixture into a greased soufflé dish, leaving about 2 inches of space at the top for it to rise. Bake the soufflé in a preheated water bath until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out slightly moist.
Conclusion:
Mastering the art of crafting a succulent soufflé requires careful attention to detail and precise techniques. By selecting the right ingredients, employing proper egg handling, and following essential cooking methods, you can create a light, airy, and flavorful soufflé that will impress your taste buds and those of your guests. Savor the delectable flavors of this culinary masterpiece, and enjoy experimenting with various fillings, herbs, and spices to suit your personal tastes. With practice, you'll be able to create a perfect soufflé every time. Bon appétit!
