CLASSIC FRENCH SPINACH SOUFFLé



Classic French Spinach Soufflé image

Classic French spinach soufflé is easier to make than you might think, and can be made as one large dish or four to six individual dishes.

Provided by Rebecca Franklin

Categories     Brunch     Dinner     Entree     Lunch     Side Dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 1/2 tablespoons butter (softened, divided )
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 pound (about 10 cups) stemmed and chopped spinach
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk (room temperature)
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
3 eggs (room temperature, separated )

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
  • Brush the inside of a 4 to 6-cup soufflé or deep casserole dish with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the softened butter , or grease six (5 to 6-ounce) individual ramekins, dividing the butter evenly. Sprinkle the buttered surface evenly with the grated Parmesan cheese. Set aside while you prepare the filling.
  • Heat a large saucepan over low heat and add the chopped spinach. Sauté until it wilts and the juices have evaporated; keep a close eye on it as the spinach can burn. Let cool, then squeeze out excess liquid. Set aside.
  • In a separate medium saucepan, melt the remaining butter over medium heat and stir in the flour and salt with a wooden spoon. Cook for 30 seconds, mixing constantly, to cook down the flour.
  • Add the milk while whisking vigorously and cook for about 4 minutes, until the mixture thickens.
  • Add the cooked spinach to the white sauce and continue cooking over medium heat for 1 minute. Season the mixture with black pepper, nutmeg, and more salt if needed.
  • Place the egg yolks in a bowl and whisk in 1/2 cup of the hot spinach mixture to temper it.
  • Add the egg yolk mixture to the pan, stirring to completely incorporate; remove from the heat. Do not overheat the mixture or you risk it separating; if this happens, unfortunately, there is no way to fix it.
  • In a scrupulously clean bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently stir 1/3 of the egg whites into the spinach mixture.
  • Then fold the remaining egg whites into the mixture.
  • Spoon the mixture into the prepared dish(es) and bake for 30 minutes, until the soufflé is puffed up and cooked through. A single souffle may take a few minutes longer.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy.

SPINACH AND CHEDDAR SOUFFLE



Spinach and Cheddar Souffle image

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.

SPINACH SOUFFLE



Spinach Souffle image

Nothing to worry about here, folks: This souffle is the opposite of fussy. Right out of the oven it's gloriously light and airy like a souffle should be, but as it deflates it becomes rich and decadent -- meaning that even if your souffle collapses, it's still going to be amazing.

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h10m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Two 10-ounce packages chopped frozen spinach, thawed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 large eggs, separated
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
1 cup grated Pecorino-Romano
Nonstick cooking spray or additional softened butter, for the souffle dish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the spinach in a colander to drain, pressing out as much excess liquid as you can.
  • Make the bechamel sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add the flour and stir until it becomes a thick paste. Add the milk 1/2 cup at a time, whisking well after each addition, until you have a smooth sauce. Remove from the heat and whisk in the salt, nutmeg and pepper. Taste for seasoning. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Beat the egg whites until just frothy with an electric mixer. Add the cream of tartar and beat on high speed until it forms firm peaks. Set aside.
  • Whisk the egg yolks in a large bowl until they are pale yellow, then add the warm bechamel sauce a bit at a time. Switch to a large rubber spatula; gently mix in the spinach, Parmesan and 1/2 cup Romano. Fold in a third of the egg whites to lighten, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites until thoroughly combined but still light and fluffy.
  • Lightly grease a 2-quart souffle dish with cooking spray or softened butter, then add the remaining 1/2 cup Romano and rotate the dish to coat the bottom and sides with the cheese. Pour in the souffle batter, then bake until puffy and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

SPINACH SOUFFLE



Spinach Souffle image

Spinach souffle is lightened with a bechamel sauce made with skim milk, bound with egg yolks, and given volume with beaten egg whites; it is airy when served right away and similar to a quiche when cooled.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
10 ounces spinach, well washed, tough stems removed
4 teaspoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups skim milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 whole large eggs, separated
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (2 ounces)
2 large egg whites
Pinch cream of tartar
Cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Position rack in the center of the oven. Coat a 2-quart souffle dish or 6 individual (8-ounce) dishes with cooking spray. Coat with breadcrumbs. Tap out excess; set aside.
  • Fill a bowl with ice and water; set aside. Place a steamer basket in a large saucepan; fill with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil, and add the spinach. Cover, and steam until wilted, about 3 minutes. Drain, and plunge into ice bath to stop cooking. Let cool, and squeeze out excess water. Place the spinach in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until finely chopped; set aside. You should have about 1 cup.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk, and bring just to a simmer. Cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk 2 egg yolks until blended. Whisk in a little white sauce to temper the eggs, then add the remaining sauce, whisking until combined. Add the cooked spinach and grated cheese.
  • Place the 4 egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on low until soft peaks begin to form. Increase speed to high; beat until stiff peaks form and egg whites are smooth.
  • Using a rubber spatula, transfer 1/3 of egg whites to spinach mixture; gently fold in until blended. Add spinach mixture to remaining egg whites; gently fold in until just combined. Pour into prepared dish or dishes.
  • Place souffle in oven, and reduce heat to 375 degrees. Bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 30 minutes. Serve.

My Gram has made this very special recipe for as long as I can remember. A few years ago, I was lucky enough to make a copy of her original "McCalls Cooking School" recipe page for my collection.

2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 lb cheddar cheese, sliced

Steps:

  • Place whites and yolks in separate bowls. Let whites warm to room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Grease bottom of a 15 x 10-1/2 x 1-inch jelly-roll pan; line bottom with waxed paper; then grease with butter. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Melt 1/3 cup butter in saucepan. Remove from heat. With wire whisk, stir in flour, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth. Gradually stir in milk. Return to heat, bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring, until thick and leaves bottom of pan. Beat in 1/2 cup Parmesan and 1/2 cup Cheddar.
  • With whisk, beat yolks; beat in cheese mixture. With mixer at high speed, beat whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar until stiff peaks form when beater is slowly raised. With under-and-over motion, fold 1/3 whites into the cheese mixture. Carefully fold in remaining whites to combine. Turn into prepared pan.
  • Bake 15 minutes, or until surface is puffed and firm when pressed with fingertip.
  • Meanwhile, make filling - Cook spinach as package label directs. Turn into sieve; press to remove water.
  • In hot butter in medium skillet, sauté onion until golden. Add spinach, salt, 1/4 cup Cheddar and the sour cream; mix well.
  • With metal spatula, loosen edges of soufflé. Invert on waxed paper sprinkled lightly with Parmesan. Peel off waxed paper. Spread surface evenly with filling. From long side, roll up; place, seam side down, on greased cookie sheet. Arrange cheese slices over top. Broil, about 4-inches from heat, just until cheese melts. Use large spatula to remove to serving dish or board.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
  • To make a vegan version of this recipe, use plant-based milk and butter or margarine.
  • For a richer flavor, add grated Parmesan cheese to the batter.
  • Serve the soufflé immediately after baking, as it will start to fall as it cools.
  • Garnish the soufflé with fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley, for a pop of color and flavor.
