Egg Souffle Recipes

BASIC SOUFFLé

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375° F (190° C).
• Melt butter in medium saucepan over low heat. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and bubbly. Stir in milk all at once. Continue stirring until mixture boils and is smooth and thickened.
• Separate eggs. Beat yolks well and add ¼ cup (50 mL) of warm sauce mixture to egg yolks.
• Combine yolk mixture with remaining sauce, blending thoroughly. If desired, add finely chopped filling ingredients, stirring into white sauce until blended (see variations). Set sauce aside to cool slightly.
• Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in large bowl, until stiff but not dry. Fold some of the egg whites into sauce to make it lighter, then gently but thoroughly fold the sauce into the remaining egg whites.
• Carefully pour into 4-cup (1 L) soufflé or casserole dish.
• Bake in preheated 375° F (190° C) oven until puffed and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes or until done. Serve immediately.

EASY-TO-MAKE EGG SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 350 degrees 1. Separate egg whites from yolks. 2. In small mixing bowl, beat egg yolks with salt at high speed until thick and lemon-colored. 3. In large mixing bowl, beat egg whites with water and cream of tartar at high speed until stiff but not dry, just until whites no longer slip when bowl is tilted. 4. Gently fold the yolks in with the whites. Add your fillings at this time. We used a handful of cheese and bacon. 5. In 10-inch omelet pan or skillet with ovenproof handle over medium-high heat, heat butter until just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water. Pour in egg mixture and gently smooth surface. Reduce heat to medium. Cook until puffed and lightly browned on bottom, about 5 minutes. (Lift omelet at edge to judge color.) 6. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven until knife inserted halfway between center and outer edge comes out clean, about 10 to 12 minutes. Loosen omelet edges with spatula. To Serve Open-Faced: Invert pan over warmed plate or platter, or slide omelet from pan onto plate. Spoon or sprinkle filling, if desired, over top. Cut in half or into wedges. Serve immediately
