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.

SPINACH ARTICHOKE BAKED EGG SOUFFLÉ

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 2. Combine spinach, artichoke hearts, onion, and red bell pepper in a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of water, cover bowl with plastic wrap and poke a few holes in the plastic. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. 3. Beat 4 eggs. Mix in milk, cream, cheddar cheese, Jack cheese, Parmesan, and salt. Stir in spinach, artichoke, onion, and bell pepper. 4. Microwave egg mixture for 30 seconds on high, and then stir it. Do this 4 to 5 more times or until you have a very runny scrambled egg mixture. This process will tighten up the eggs enough so that the dough won't sink into the eggs when it's folded over. 5. Unroll and separate the crescent dough into four rectangles. In other words, don't tear the dough along the perforations that make triangles. Instead, pinch the dough together along those diagonal perforations so that you have four rectangles. Use some flour on the dough and roll across the width of the rectangle with a rolling pin so that each piece of dough stretches out into a square that is approximately 6 inches by 6 inches. 6. Brush melted butter inside four 4-inch baking dishes or ramekins. Line each ramekin with the dough, then spoon equal amounts of egg mixture into each ramekin. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of asiago cheese on top of the egg mixture in each ramekin, and then gently fold the dough over the mixture. 7. Beat the last egg in a small bowl, then brush beaten egg over the top of the dough in each ramekin. 8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until dough is brown. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes, then carefully remove the soufflés from each ramekin and serve hot.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350.
• 2. I use two either 6 inch Pyrex pie plates or cast iron skillets for this. They are commonly available. Line them with parchment paper. Press it down into them and trim excess around rim. Crease it like pleats to make the paper stay. This will allow the souffles to slide out easily even if some of the egg soaks through the crust.
• 3. Roughly chop the spinach.
• 4. Whisk the eggs and cream together.
• 5. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
• 6. Slice the croissants like for a sandwich. If the are pretty thick I slice them into 3 pieces. You don't need to be neat. Place them into the pie pans with the crust side up. This keeps the outside from over-browning. Piece it to fill in spots. Press down. This gives you a light crust like Panera. I tried crescent roll dough but it wasn't anything like the original.
• 7. Pour your mixture into the shells and bake for 20-25 minutes until the filling is set. If it's getting too brown, cover with foil.
• 8. Note - vary the ingredients to imitate the one you want. Start with the eggs and cream, then cheese of your choice and fillings you like such as artichoke and spinach, ham and cheese, etc.

SPINACH EGG SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Preheat over to 350.
• If you don't have cooked spinach, you can quickly zap one of Green Giants "no sauce" frozen spinach packages while you begin your preparations.
• Grease 8"x8" glass dish (or souffle dish if you have one) - I use softened butter for this.
• Separate your eggs putting your white in a bowl to be blended and the yolks set aside for later.
• I typically microwave the milk for 2 minutes to heat it which makes the stove time shorter.
• Grate your onion (you want to grate versus chop for 2 reasons: one is texture and the other is that grated onion infuses the flavor better than chopped).
• Melt your butter over medium/medium-low heat in a 10" non-stick skillet.
• Once melted, add the flour stirring constantly until you have a thick even consistency.
• Add the milk and seasonings stirring constantly until thickened and even - if you've preheated the milk this part will go fairly quickly, if not - it will take a few minutes.
• Stir in the onion and spinach until evenly distributed and smooth.
• Remove pan from heat and quickly stir in the yokes.
• Once completely mixed, pour contents of pan into large glass bowl and set aside.
• Mix egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
• Add 1/3 of whites mixture to the yolk/spinach mix and stir gently - the whites should make the other mixture lighter and fluffier.
• Fold in remaining whites and gentle pour or spoon mixture into greased pan.
• Cook until browned on top (about 30 minutes) - eat immediately (It will fall the longer it sits - it still tastes as good but won't look as pretty).
• ***To make a Cheese Souffle instead, swap the onion and spinach out for 1 cup of shredded cheese. I've used baby swiss, a colby/jack mix -- anything will work - it's a taste preference.
