Goats Cheese Spring Onion Parsley Soufflés Recipes

GOAT CHEESE SOUFFLé WITH THYME

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400° F. Butter a 6-cup soufflé dish or an 8-cup gratin dish and coat it with the Parmesan. Heat the milk with the aromatics until it boils. Set it aside to steep for 15 minutes, then strain.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan. When foamy, stir in the flour and cook over low heat for several minutes. Whisk in the milk all at once and stir vigorously for a minute or so as it thickens, then add 3/4 teaspoon salt, a few twists of pepper, and the cayenne. Remove from heat. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time until well blended, then stir in the cheese. Don't worry about getting it smooth.
• Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form firm peaks, then stir a quarter of them into the base to lighten the mixture. Fold in the rest, transfer to the prepared dish, then put in the center of the oven and lower the heat to 375° F. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden and just a bit wobbly in the center. Remove, scatter the thyme over the top, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Butter four 200ml ramekins or ovenproof dishes, or six 150ml ones. Set the dishes on a baking tray to make them easier to remove from the oven. Melt the butter in a heavy-based pan, stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 min. Slowly mix in the milk to make a thick sauce. Simmer for 2 mins to cook the flour. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley, spring onions, goat's cheese, egg yolks, threequarters of the parmesan and seasoning.
• Whisk the egg whites until they are stiff, then fold into the sauce in three batches, cutting through the mixture each time to incorporate the egg white without losing too much air from the mix. Divide between the prepared dishes and sprinkle with the remaining parmesan. Bake for 20 mins for the small dishes and 25 mins for the larger ones until risen and golden. Serve without delay.
