Kale White Cheddar Souffle Recipes

KALE & WHITE CHEDDAR SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter and flour six 3-inch/ 4 oz ramekins.
• Heat medium skillet on medium heat. Sauté (1) 10 oz bag of kale in 1 T oil. Cool and Chop.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in small saucepan over medium high heat. Stir in 3 tablespoons flour with wooden spoon until well blended. Cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Whisk in hot milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg and chili powder. Cook 1 minute; remove from heat. Whisk in egg yolks. Stir in cheese until melted. Stir in kale. Transfer to large bowl.
• Add egg whites to Bowl of KitchenAid® Artisan Mini Stand Mixer. Attach Bowl and Whip to mixer. Turn to Speed 10 and beat until whites hold medium-stiff peaks. Gently fold egg whites into cheese mixture with rubber spatula in three stages, being careful not to deflate the foamy mixture. Spoon about 1 cup mixture into each prepared ramekin. Bake 15 minutes or until tops are golden brown.

CHEESE-AND-KALE SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in lower third. Butter an 8 1/4-by-3 1/2-inch (11 cups to the rim) souffle dish; coat with Parmesan. Using a long piece of parchment, form a collar around souffle dish that extends 3 inches above top of dish; tie kitchen twine around collar to secure. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Heat a large pot over medium. Add kale; season with salt and black pepper and toss to combine. Cover and steam, tossing occasionally, until kale is wilted, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain in a fine-mesh sieve set over a medium bowl. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out excess moisture. Coarsely chop kale (you should have 1 cup); set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, whisk together flour, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, cayenne, and nutmeg. Gradually whisk in half-and-half, then heat over medium-high, whisking constantly, until thick and smooth, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto surface of mixture. Let cool completely, then stir in yolks, cubed cheese, and kale.
• Whisk together egg whites and egg-white powder on medium-high speed until stiff but not dry peaks form, 5 to 6 minutes. Spoon one-quarter of whites mixture into base, then whisk thoroughly until smooth. Gently fold in remaining whites mixture. Transfer to prepared dish.
• Bake 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees; continue to bake until souffle is risen, set, and dark golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes more. Remove collar and serve immediately.

CHEDDAR KALE SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the ramekins.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the kale, 1 teaspoon salt and a couple turns of pepper and cook until tender, about 6 minutes. Divide the kale mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins. Sprinkle with the Cheddar.
• Separate the egg whites and yolks. Whisk together the yolks, milk and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and 1/4 teaspoon salt with an electric mixer until they hold soft peaks, being careful to not overbeat. Then gently fold the whites into the yolk mixture. Divide the egg batter evenly among the ramekins and bake until the eggs are set and puffed, about 25 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
