Soft Foods: Cheese Souffle



Recommended Posts

Oh nothing. Just a cheese souffle that my amazing husband decided to whip up out of the blue for an afternoon snack. Can you believe that? Picture at eggs
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 c skim milk
  • 1 c grated low-fat swiss cheese
  • 1/2 c grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Pinch of grated nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • Method

    1. Separate three eggs, cold, out of the refrigerator (yolks less likely to break this way). Set aside to warm to room temperature
    2. Turn oven to 350 degrees, place rack in middle position
    3. Spray the inside of a 1.5 qt souffle bowl with Pam. Sprinkle in two tablespoons of parmesan cheese and shake to cover the sides of the pan. Discard excess.
    4. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and add minced shallots and stir until shallots soften, about a minute
    5. Add the flour and stir until well incorporated. Cook 3-4 minutes for flour to lightly brown.
    6. Slowly add 1 c of milk and whisk constantly until the milk comes up to a simmer and thickens.
    7. Remove from heat and stir in 1 c grated swiss cheese and whisk well.
    8. Add 3 egg yolks and keep whisking until incorporated.
    9. Beat egg whites in stand mixer or hand mixer with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar. Beat on low, until eggs start foaming, about a minute. Beat on medium high until the eggs form stiff peaks, about 3-4 minutes.
    10. Add one fourth of the egg whites to the batter and stir in gently with a spatula until there are no white streaks left. Add the rest of the egg whites and gently fold into batter just until lightly mixed.
    11. Pour into prepared mould and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese on the smoothed top
    12. Bake 24-27 minutes until the top is golden brown and the top just jiggles a little when you shake it.
    13. Remove and let it set 3-4 minutes. Serve immediately and enjoy!

    I have surgery tomorrow, but would you mind sending him over here in about two weeks? I'm sure he can whip one up in no time and be on his way back home within a hour or so.

    Wonderful! I have a quiche recipe from 20 years ago (no cream of tartar but similar ingredients, stir and bake). I leave off the crust (one of my favorites when doing Atkins) and bake in a glass pie dish. It is wonderful hot or cold. So many options for us friends, just do it!!!!

    Well they ate it all. We shared with our housekeeper and my 23 year old is home so he ate two big helpings and then snacked on it this evening. It's so weird to have no leftovers since he came home! I love it but it also means I'm always cooking and so is Roger.

        Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

        Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

          As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
