Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more, for greasing
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk, hot
4 egg yolks
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard
3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
5 egg whites
Pinch cream of tartar
Serving suggestions: Dried Figs in Simple Syrup, recipe follows, brioche, and bitter greens
1/2 cup water
1 orange, zested and juiced
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
1 cup dried whole figs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare 4 (8-ounce) ramekins or a 1 1/2 -quart souffle dish by greasing with softened butter and coating with Parmesan.
  • Make a thick bechamel sauce base by melting 3 tablespoons butter over low-medium heat in a thick-bottomed saucepan. Just as the foam subsides, add the flour, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk to prevent lumps. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes to coat the flour and remove the starchy taste, do not allow to brown. Add the hot milk to the roux and continue to whisk until the mixture is smoothly thickened. Remove from heat. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time. Season with salt, pepper, and mustard. Stir in the cheese and incorporated evenly. Chill while preparing the egg whites.
  • In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar just until they hold soft peaks. Fold 1/3 of the beaten whites into the bechamel mixture to lighten it. Then gently fold in the rest. Pour into the prepared ramekins or souffle dish 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 giggles slightly. Take care not to over bake. Serve with Dried Figs in Simple Syrup, brioche, and bitter greens.
  • Combine water, orange juice and zest, cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Add the figs and cook until reconstituted, about 10 minutes.

The souffle didn't rise as much as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This souffle was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less blue cheese.

I've tried this recipe several times, and I've had mixed results. Sometimes it turns out great, and sometimes it falls flat.

I love the combination of blue cheese and Gruyère in this souffle. It's a great way to use up leftover cheese.
