Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing the ramekins
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk, warmed
2 tablespoons sugar, plus more for the ramekins
5 eggs, separated
Pinch salt
Ground white pepper
Pinch ground nutmeg
1 cup crumbled blue cheese
Pinch cream of tartar
8 fresh black mission figs, split in 1/2 lengthwise
1/2 cup honey
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Prepare 4 (8-ounce) ramekins by greasing them with softened butter and then coating them with sugar, tapping out any excess.
  • Make a thick bechamel sauce base by melting the 3 tablespoons of butter over low-medium heat in a thick-bottomed pot. Just as the foam subsides, add the flour, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent lumps. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes to coat the flour with fat and remove the starchy taste; do not allow the roux to brown. Add the warm milk to the mixture and continue to whisk until smooth and thick. Remove from the heat. Beat in the sugar and then the egg yolks 1 at a time. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the cheese until incorporated evenly. Chill the mixture while whipping the egg whites.
  • In a separate clean bowl beat the egg whites and cream of tartar just until soft peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the beaten whites into the bechamel mixture to lighten it. Then gently fold in the rest. Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins and place on a cookie sheet. Bake on the middle rack for about 25 minutes.
  • The souffle is done when it has puffed over the rim, the outside is golden, and the center jiggles slightly.
  • Serve with fresh figs and a drizzle of honey. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Yield Makes 6 cheese course servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

For brioche
2 tablespoons warm water (105-115°F)
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast (from a 1/4-oz package)
3 tablespoons sugar
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 large eggs
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 lb dried Mission figs, stems discarded and figs chopped (1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup walnuts (2 oz), chopped
For grape syrup
2 cups white grape juice
1 cup dry fruity white wine such as Riesling
For soufflés
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon melted
3 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts
1/2 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, separated
1/4 lb Maytag Blue cheese, crumbled (1 cup)
Special Equipment
a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment; a 9- by 5- by 3-inch loaf pan; 6 (2-oz) heatproof baba au rhum molds or metal condiment cups

Steps:

  • Make brioche dough:
  • Stir together water, yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved, then let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, discard and start over with new yeast.)
  • Stir together flour, salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar in bowl of mixer. Add yeast mixture and eggs and beat at medium speed until combined. Add butter and beat until dough is smooth and silky, 5 to 8 minutes. (Dough will be very soft and sticky.) Add figs and nuts and mix until combined. Sprinkle remaining tablespoon sugar over dough, then cover bowl with plastic wrap and a clean kitchen towel and let dough rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until almost doubled in bulk, about 2 hours.
  • Butter and flour loaf pan, knocking out excess flour. Stir dough with a wooden spoon to release air, then spread evenly in loaf pan. Cover pan loosely with plastic wrap and kitchen towel and let dough rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until it almost fills pan (dough will not rise above top of pan), 1 to 1 1/2 hours more.
  • Make grape syrup while dough rises:
  • Boil juice and wine in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan over moderately high heat until syrupy and reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
  • Bake brioche:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Bake until golden brown and a wooden pick or skewer inserted in center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Turn brioche out onto a rack, then turn right side up and cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Make soufflés and assemble dish:
  • Keep oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Brush molds with melted butter (1 tablespoon) and coat with nuts, knocking out excess.
  • Bring milk and remaining 2 tablespoons butter to a boil in a 1-quart heavy saucepan. Whisk in flour until smooth and return to a boil over moderate heat. Remove from heat and vigorously whisk 1 minute, then whisk into yolks in a large bowl.
  • Beat whites in another bowl with an electric mixer until they just hold stiff peaks.
  • Stir half of cheese into yolk mixture and fold in one third of whites to lighten, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Divide among molds and bake in a water bath until puffed and browned, about 30 minutes. Remove molds from water bath and cool on a rack 5 minutes.
  • While soufflés are cooling, cut 3 (1/2-inch-thick) slices from brioche loaf, then halve each slice for a total of 6 (2-inch) squares. Reserve remainder of loaf for another use.
  • Run a thin knife around edge of molds to loosen soufflés. Divide brioche squares among 6 plates and drizzle with some grape syrup, then top each with a soufflé. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and serve immediately.

BLUE CHEESE SOUFFLé WITH CHAMOMILE-FIG COMPOTE



Blue Cheese Soufflé with Chamomile-Fig Compote image

Categories     Cookies     Sauce     Cheese     Dessert     Bake     Dinner     Fig     Chill     Boil

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

Blue Cheese Soufflé
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing the ramekins
1/4 cup sugar, plus more for the ramekins
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk, warmed
5 eggs, separated
Pinch of salt
Ground white pepper
Pinch of nutmeg
1 cup crumbled blue cheese
Pinch of cream of tartar
Chamomile-Fig Compote
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 chamomile tea bag
12 dried figs, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare four 8-ounce ramekins by greasing them with softened butter and then coating them with sugar, tapping out any excess.
  • Make a thick béchamel sauce base by melting the 3 tablespoons of butter over low-medium heat in a thick-bottomed pot. Just as the foam subsides, add the flour, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent lumps. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes to coat the flour with fat and remove the starchy taste; do not allow the roux to brown. Add the warm milk to the mixture and continue to whisk until smooth and thick. Remove from the heat. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the cheese until incorporated evenly. Chill the mixture while whipping the egg whites.
  • In a separate clean bowl beat the egg whites and cream of tartar just until soft peaks form. Fold one third of the beaten whites into the béchamel mixture to lighten it. Then gently fold in the rest. Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins and place on a cookie sheet. Bake on the middle rack for about 25 minutes. The soufflé is done when it has puffed over the rim, the outside is golden, and the center jiggles slightly.
  • While the soufflés are baking, make the compote. Combine the sugar, water, lemon juice, and in a pot. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil; cook and stir for 5 minutes. Remove and add the dried figs; bring back to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Crack open the top of and pour the compote inside, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your souffle will taste. If possible, use organic and locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites: Overbeaten egg whites will make your souffle tough. Beat them until they are stiff, but not dry.
  • Fold the egg whites gently: When you fold the egg whites into the batter, be careful not to overmix. Overmixing will deflate the egg whites and make your souffle less fluffy.
  • Bake the souffle immediately: Once the batter is ready, bake the souffle immediately. This will help it rise properly.
  • Don't open the oven door: While the souffle is baking, don't open the oven door. This will cause the souffle to collapse.

Blue cheese souffle with fresh figs and honey is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With its rich and flavorful cheese sauce, sweet and juicy figs, and a drizzle of honey, this souffle is sure to impress your guests.
