Cheese Onion And Bread Souffle Recipes

NEVER-FAIL CHEESE SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Butter the bread slices on both sides (use the whole stick), then cut them into 3/4-inch squares. (Leave the crust on.)
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl until foamy, then gradually whisk in the milk.
• Alternate layers of bread and Cheddar in a low 2-quart oval baking dish, starting with the bread and ending with Cheddar (4 layers total). Pour in the egg mixture, and press the bread and Cheddar down into the egg. Refrigerate overnight, covered, so the bread soaks up the liquid.
• About 1 1/2 hours before serving, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Bake until puffed, golden and cooked through, about 1 hour. Serve hot or warm.

CHEESE & BREAD SOUFFLé

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

• Remove from heat. Whisk in egg yolks, two at a time. Stir in cheese. Add mustard, salt and pepper; mix well. Transfer mixture to large bowl and set aside.
• Beat egg whites in medium bowl with electric mixer until stiff but not dry. Gently fold whites into cheese mixture. Stir in bread cubes. Pour into ungreased 8-cup (2 L) soufflé dish.

CHEESE AND ONION BREAD

Steps:

• Put 1 cup of the flour in your mixing bowl. Stir in the yeast, salt and sugar. Pour in the warm milk and mix well for three or four minutes on medium. Let stand for about 10 minutes until bubbly.
• Add the egg, then the onion and cheese, then the rest of the flour until the dough holds together and is only a bit sticky. Cover with a damp towel and let it rise for an hour.
• Shape your savory dough into a loaf or two small loaves and put into a loaf pan or on to a baking tray. Let it rise until double, about 45 minutes.
• Bake at 350 for 25 to 35 minutes until the crust is golden and the bottom sounds hollow when you tap on it.

GRITS, CHEESE, AND ONION SOUFFLéS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Butter four 1 1/4-cup soufflé dishes. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and leek; sauté 3 minutes. Mix in 1 1/4 cups whole milk and 1/2 teaspoon salt, then grits; bring to simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until thick, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk remaining 1/4 cup milk and yolks in small bowl to blend.
• Remove grits from heat. Stir in yolk mixture, then green onions and 3/4 cup cheese. Beat whites in medium bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold into grits in 3 additions. Divide mixture among prepared dishes (mixture will come all the way to top of dishes). Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese.
• Bake soufflés until puffed and brown on top, about 18 minutes. Serve immediately.

GOAT'S CHEESE, SPRING ONION & PARSLEY SOUFFLéS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Butter four 200ml ramekins or ovenproof dishes, or six 150ml ones. Set the dishes on a baking tray to make them easier to remove from the oven. Melt the butter in a heavy-based pan, stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 min. Slowly mix in the milk to make a thick sauce. Simmer for 2 mins to cook the flour. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley, spring onions, goat's cheese, egg yolks, threequarters of the parmesan and seasoning.
• Whisk the egg whites until they are stiff, then fold into the sauce in three batches, cutting through the mixture each time to incorporate the egg white without losing too much air from the mix. Divide between the prepared dishes and sprinkle with the remaining parmesan. Bake for 20 mins for the small dishes and 25 mins for the larger ones until risen and golden. Serve without delay.

DOUBLE CHEESE & ONION SOUFFLé TART

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Roll the pastry out on a floured surface until almost large enough to line a 22cm loose-bottomed tart tin, sprinkle over about a third of the Parmesan, then continue rolling to push the cheese into the pastry. Line the tin with the pastry, leaving any excess overhanging. Line the tart with parchment paper and baking beans and bake blind for 20 mins. Gently remove the paper and beans and bake for a further 10 mins until pale golden and cooked.
• Spread the chutney in an even layer over the bottom of the pastry case, then set aside while you make the filling.
• To make the filling, melt the butter in a pan over a low heat, then add the flour and cook for 2 mins, stirring all the time. Gradually pour in the milk and continue stirring until you have a smooth, thick sauce. Cook for a further 2 mins, remove from the heat and cool for 3 mins.
• Crumble 200g of goat's cheese, the thyme and the rest of the Parmesan into the sauce. Beat until cheese melts, then add egg yolks one at a time, beating between each addition. Whisk egg whites to stiff peaks, stir 1 spoonful into the sauce and mix, then tip in the rest of the whites and gently fold until well combined.
• Spoon the filling on top of the onion chutney, crumble over the remaining goat's cheese, then transfer to the oven and bake for 25-30 mins, until golden and well risen. Allow the tart to cool slightly before trimming the edges and serving, or enjoy cold with a green salad, if you like.

CHEDDAR, BACON, AND SCALLION SOUFFLé

Steps:

• In a small heavy saucepan cook the scallion in the butter and the reserved bacon fat over moderately low heat, stirring, until the scallion is softened, stir in the flour, and cook the roux stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the milk in a stream, whisking, and boil the mixture, whisking, for 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the cayenne, the Cheddar, and salt and pepper to taste, whisking until the cheese is melted. Add the egg yolks, 1 at a time, whisking well after each addition, and whisk in the bacon. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they hold stiff peaks, whisk about one fourth of them into the cheese mixture, and fold in the remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Pour the mixture into a buttered 1 1/2-quart soufflé dish and bake the soufflé in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until it is puffed and golden. Serve the soufflé immediately.
