Ham And Cheddar Grits Souffle Recipes

HAM AND CHEESE EGG SOUFFLE

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees.

• In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks until pale and fluffy. Fold into roux along with shredded cheddar cheese and ham. Set aside.
• Whisk egg whites and cream of tarter until soft, fluffy peaks form. This process is incorporating air into the mixture, which is what increased the volume significantly.
• After egg whites are foamy and fluffy, gently fold them into the ham and cheddar mixture. Do not over mix, as this will push out the air.
• Prep 6 4-ounce ramekins with cooking spray and place onto a rimmed baking sheet. Spoon mixture evenly into each ramekin. Fill approximately 3/4 of the way.
• Bake for 30 minutes. Remove and top each with a pinch of cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon and chives.
