ASPARAGUS AND CHEESE SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, squash, and asparagus and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the pepper strips and scallions. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the cheeses and the cooled vegetables.
• Spray the loaf pan with vegetable oil spray, line the bottom with a piece of parchment paper, and spray again.
• 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.
• Remove the souffle from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Run a butter knife around the edges of the pan to release the souffle. Turn the souffle out onto a cutting board and remove the parchment paper. Cut the souffle into 8 slices and serve hot or at room temperature.

ASPARAGUS AND SWISS CHEESE SOUFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Generously butter two 1 1/4-cup soufflé dishes or custard cups. Divide asparagus pieces between prepared dishes. Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan. Drizzle 3/4 teaspoon butter over asparagus in each dish. Reserve remaining butter in pan. Bake asparagus until just tender and beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. Maintain oven temperature. Meanwhile, add flour and mustard to remaining butter in pan and whisk until smooth paste forms. Set over medium heat and whisk 1 minute. Whisk milk and yolks to blend in small bowl; whisk into flour mixture. Cook until sauce thickens, whisking constantly, about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Add grated cheese, salt and pepper and stir until cheese melts.
• Beat egg whites in medium bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into warm cheese mixture in pan. Spoon all of soufflé batter over asparagus in dishes.
• Bake soufflés until puffed and golden, about 14 minutes. Serve immediately.

ASPARAGUS GOAT CHEESE SOUFFLE

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!
