Panera Bread S Spinach Artichoke Baked Egg Souffle Bytodd Wilbur Recipes

COPYCAT PANERA BREAD SPINACH & ARTICHOKE SOUFFLé

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease 4 round ramekins with cooking spray and place on a baking sheet, set aside.
• Set a saucepan over medium heat with the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 30 seconds. Whisk in the milk and cook, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the spinach artichoke dip, eggs, the cooled milk sauce, Monterey jack cheese, Romano cheese, garlic, pepper flakes and hot sauce until well combined.
• Unwrap the puff pastry and cut the sheet into four squares. Place a square in each ramekin, pressing it down onto the bottom and up the sides of each ramekin. Divide the soufflé mixture between the ramekins.
• Bake until puffed up and deep golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

BREAKFAST BAKED EGG SOUFFLES (PANERA BREAD COPYCAT

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix the 3 eggs, milk and heavy cream. Add the Parmesan cheese and salt and blend thoroughly. Either microwave at 30 second intervals or cook on stovetop until a sort of runny scrambled egg consistency. Remove from heat. Add ham and stir.
• 2. Unroll the dough and pinch 2 triangles together and roll to fit into a 4 inch ramekin. (Can use flour to roll out). Do again for second ramekin.
• 3. Brush melted butter insides of two 4 inch ramekins and line with the dough. Fill the ramekins with equal amounts of filling of egg mixture. Sprinkle tops with parmesan cheese. Fold over the overhanging dough so it is no longer hanging over the sides of the ramekins. Can brush with a beaten egg, if desired. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until dough is brown and crusty. Cool 5 minutes and enjoy!
• 4. I make a lower fat version using reduced fat Pillsbury Crescent rolls, 1/2 cup liquid eggs, Fat free half and half instead of milk and heavy cream, one to two Laughing Cow Swiss wedges, and 97% fat free ham. I like to use full fat Parmesan cheese. Spray the ramekins with butter flavored cooking spray instead of using melted butter. I pile it into one ramekin just for me and savor every bite (adjust baking time)! Of course I like the full fat the best, but this isn't all that bad.
• 5. SPINACH/ARTICHOKE: 3 Tbsp frozen spinach, thawed, 3 tbsp minced artichoke hearts, 2 tsp minced onion, 1 tsp minced red pepper, 1/4 c shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 c shredded monterey jack cheese. (Instead of ham and swiss cheese) Top with 1/4 cup shredded Asiago Cheese
• 6. Spinach and Bacon: use 4 pieces of cooked and crumbled bacon instead or artichoke hearts in the Spinach/Artichoke recipe.
