SAM BEALL'S CARROT SOUFFLé



Sam Beall's Carrot Soufflé image

This is more of a casserole than a traditional soufflé. It comes from Sam Beall, the proprietor of Blackberry Farm in Tennessee, who died at age 39 in a ski accident. The dish makes its seasonal debut on the Beall family table at Thanksgiving, but paired with a salad, it becomes lunch or a light dinner any time of year. Use the sweetest carrot you can find, and grate the onions on the same grater you use for the cheese to save a little prep and clean-up time. Many of the steps are easy enough for children, making it a great dish for teaching cooking skills. It will become part of your winter rotation, and travels well.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more to butter the dish
2 pounds carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus 1 teaspoon
1 cup whole milk
1 cup crushed saltine crackers
3/4 cup, or about 3 ounces, grated sharp Cheddar
1/3 cup minced or grated onion (about 1/2 medium onion)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 large eggs

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 2-quart soufflé dish or baking dish.
  • Put the carrots in a large pot and cover with about an inch of water. Add a heaping tablespoon of salt and boil the carrots until they are tender enough to yield to the tip of a knife, about 10 minutes.
  • Strain the carrots and purée them in a food processor. Put them in a large bowl; stir in the milk, cracker crumbs, cheese, onion, butter, cayenne, black pepper and remaining salt.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs until they are quite foamy. Using a whisk and a gentle touch, mix the eggs into the carrot mixture.
  • Scrape the mixture into the buttered dish and bake for about 45 minutes, until the soufflé is slightly puffed, light golden brown and pulling away from the sides of the dish. Serve warm.

FLUFFY CARROT SOUFFLE



Fluffy Carrot Souffle image

This is a delicious easy side to serve at a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, it may be doubled if desired and may be made well in advance and refrigerated until ready to bake -- the first time I made this I used 3/4 cup sugar, that was too sweet for our tastes, start with 1/2 cup and add in more until desired sweetness is achieved, white sugar may be used in place of brown but I find that brown is better, Splenda may also be used if desired :)

Time 55m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs carrots, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup melted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup brown sugar (adjust the amount of sugar to suit taste)
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 pinch salt
2 large eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350°F.
  • Butter a 2-quart casserole dish.
  • Cook the carrots in boiling water until tender (about 12-15 minutes) drain very well then transfer to a bowl or you may steam the carrots until tender.
  • Mash the carrots very well using a fork.
  • Add in all remaining ingredients except the confectioners sugar (start with 1/2 cup brown sugar adding in more until desired sweetness is achieved) mix well to combine.
  • Transfer to casserole dish.
  • Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
  • Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Use fresh, young carrots for the best flavor and texture. Look for carrots that are smooth, firm, and brightly colored.
  • Peel and grate the carrots finely: This will help them cook evenly and create a smooth, creamy texture in the soufflé.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is a key flavor component in this soufflé, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese will work well.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeaten eggs can make the soufflé tough. Beat the eggs until they are just combined and fluffy.
  • Cook the soufflé immediately: Soufflés are best when served immediately, so don't let it sit around before baking.

Conclusion:

This festive carrot soufflé is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for any special occasion. With its creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and beautiful presentation, this soufflé is sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve, give this carrot soufflé a try. You won't be disappointed!
