CHEF JOHN'S ASPARAGUS SOUFFLE



Chef John's Asparagus Souffle image

Contrary to popular belief, souffles are not very difficult, as long as you respect the laws of physics. I hope you give this recipe a try, and also experiment with other vegetables. Broccoli, artichokes, leeks, spinach, or any other edible plant you can puree should work with the same basic procedure.

Categories     Side Dish     Casseroles

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup cold milk
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
½ clove garlic, minced
4 eggs, separated
½ cup grated sharp white Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Cook asparagus in a saucepan of boiling water until bright green but still crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer asparagus to ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and stir until mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  • Whisk milk into butter-flour mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and cayenne pepper.
  • Place milk mixture, garlic, and asparagus in a blender and puree until smooth.
  • Pour asparagus mixture into a large bowl; stir in egg yolks and Cheddar cheese.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C)
  • Generously butter 4 (6-ounce) ramekins
  • Beat egg whites in a large glass or metal mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak
  • Stir half of egg whites into asparagus cheese mixture until just combined. Gently fold remaining egg whites into mixture.
  • Fill prepared ramekins about 3/4 full and place on a baking sheet; bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 medium yellow squash, cut into1/4-inch-thick half-moon slices
1 pound thin asparagus, bottoms trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup roasted red pepper strips
2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallion greens
6 eggs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pan, and top with another piece of vegetable oil sprayed parchment paper. Place the pan in a larger baking dish and place on the center oven rack. Pour enough hot water into the baking dish to reach halfway up the loaf pan. Bake until the center is firm and a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.

LOW FAT CHEESE AND ASPARAGUS SOUFFLé



Low Fat Cheese and Asparagus Soufflé image

A light and easy Souffle - this makes an impressive starter or a light luncheon dish! I have tried to make this a lower fat souffle than is usual. It can be served with a crispy French bread and a fresh salad if you are serving it for lunch. Use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock, if you want to make this a vegetarian souffle.

ASPARAGUS GOAT CHEESE SOUFFLE



Asparagus Goat Cheese Souffle image

Light, fluffy and so delicious, this souffle is surprisingly filling. I used a 1.5 quart souffle dish.

Provided by Jo Zimny

Categories     Other Main Dishes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 c asparagus, cooked, cut in 1 inch pieces.
3 Tbsp goat butter
1 Tbsp spelt flour
1 c almond milk
3 Tbsp romano cheese, grated
3 Tbsp mozzarella goat cheese
1 dash(es) tamari sauce
1/2 tsp sweet paprika
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp dry mustard
4 large egg yolks, beaten
4 large egg whites, stiffly beaten (beat less if you live at high altitude)

Steps:

  • 1. Steam the asparagus until just tender and set aside. Get a full kettle of water on the boil. You will need it for your bain marie...and set the grate in your stove to the bottom placement. Preheat the oven to 375'F.
  • 2. Butter your souffle dish. If you wish to put a parchment paper collar around the dish, butter the top half of the collar and tie it with the buttered side facing inside the dish with kitchen twine. I didn't find this necessary because my souffle didn't rise up over the edge. Put the asparagus in the bottom of the buttered dish.
  • 3. Over low heat, melt the butter in a heavy skillet. Whisk in the flour until smooth; gradually add the milk, stir constantly until the sauce thickens.
  • 4. Add cheeses and seasonings; stir until the cheese melts. Add the beaten egg yolks and stir well. Remove from the heat; fold the egg whites into the cheese sauce.
  • 5. Pour the mixture into your prepared souffle dish. Set the dish in a bigger dish and put it in the oven.
  • 6. Being careful not to get any water into your souffle pour the boiling water from the kettle into the bigger dish. The water should be 1/2 inch deep around the souffle dish.
  • 7. Turn the heat down to 350'F and bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until the souffle is golden on the top. It should rise up at least 3 times it's original size. Test it with a long wooden skewer. If any of the souffle is moist at the bottom leave it in a few more minutes. It should be totally cooked through.
  • 8. The souffle should be crusty on the top but still jiggly when you shake it. Serve immediately, otherwise the souffle will lose it's nice crust on the top.
  • 9. Enjoy!

CREAMY ASPARAGUS "SOUFFLE"



Creamy Asparagus

An elegant but simple way to serve asparagus, this timbale is like a sturdy souffle that holds its "breath". And you can use up less-than-perfect spears; use a vegetable peeler to peel the tougher stalks so they will be tender. A stick blender does a nice job pureeing the mixture.
