Provided by Ina Garten

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing the dish
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for sprinkling
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup scalded milk
1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 extra-large egg yolks, at room-temperature
1/2 cup grated aged Cheddar cheese, lightly packed
1 package frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
5 extra-large egg whites, at room temperature
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter the inside of a 6 to 8-cup souffle dish (6 1/2 to 7 1/2 inches in diameter by 3 1/2 inches deep) and sprinkle evenly with Parmesan.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. With a wooden spoon, stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Off the heat, whisk in the hot milk, the nutmeg, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, for 1 minute, until smooth and thick.
  • Off the heat, while still hot, whisk in the egg yolks, one at a time. Stir in the Cheddar, 1/4 cup of Parmesan and the spinach and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • Put the egg whites, cream of tartar, and a pinch of salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on low speed for 1 minute, on medium speed for 1 minute, then finally on high speed until they form firm, glossy peaks.
  • Whisk one quarter of the egg whites into the cheese sauce to lighten and then fold in the rest. Pour into the souffle dish, then smooth the top. Draw a large circle on top with the spatula to help the souffle rise evenly, and place in the middle of the oven. Turn the temperature down to 375 degrees F. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes (don't peek!) until puffed and brown. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If you are using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it and squeeze out any excess water before using it.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. The cheddar cheese is the main flavor in this souffle, so it is important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the souffle tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the souffle immediately. Once the batter is mixed, bake the souffle immediately. This will help the souffle to rise properly.
  • Serve the souffle immediately. Souffle is best served immediately after it is baked. It will start to fall after it has been sitting for a while.

Conclusion:

Microwave spinach cheddar souffle is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover spinach and cheddar cheese. This souffle is light and fluffy, with a cheesy spinach flavor. It is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
