This puffy soufflé is filled with chopped green garlic, chives and plenty of Gruyère cheese.
5 tablespoons butter, more for pan
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan
2 fat bulbs green garlic, root and green parts trimmed, outer layer removed
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
2 sprigs thyme
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt plus a pinch
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
4 egg yolks and 6 egg whites
2/3 cup grated Gruyère cheese
1/4 cup chopped chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 2-quart gratin dish and sprinkle bottom and sides with Parmesan. Using a sharp knife or food processor, mince garlic.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan and let cook for 1 minute. Add flour and cook, whisking, until mixture is pale golden, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the milk and thyme sprigs, and continue to cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is thick and smooth, about 2 minutes longer.
  • Turn off heat and whisk in salt, pepper and nutmeg. Transfer to a large bowl and whisk in egg yolks, one at a time. Whisk in minced garlic, cheese and chives.
  • In a mixer, whip egg whites with a pinch of salt until they hold soft peaks. Using a spatula, fold a third of the whites into yolk mixture to lighten it, then fold in remaining whites, taking care not to overmix. As you fold, pluck out and discard thyme sprigs.
  • Spread mixture in prepared pan and smooth top. Bake until golden brown and puffed, 20 to 25 minutes.

This soufflé was a little too dense for my taste. I think I would beat the egg whites a little more next time.

I thought this soufflé was a little bland. I think I would add some more herbs or spices next time.

This soufflé was a bit too salty for my liking. I think I would use less salt next time.

I had some trouble getting the soufflé to rise. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

This soufflé was a little too eggy for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of eggs next time.
