Best soufflé recipes...?


Answers:
tablespoons all purpose flour
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups milk
12 oz bittersweet baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup brewed strong coffee
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup granulated sugar
5 egg yolks
7 egg whites
Confectioners sugar
PREP WORK Preheat oven to 375o.

Get all the ingredients together and prepare the coffe, make sure the chocolate is chopped.

HOW TO MAKE AT HOME Melt butter in a sauce pot over low heat, whisk in flour and milk and cook until it thickens. Stir in chocolate and stir constantly until it's melted. Remove from heat and add coffee, vanilla, and half the sugar. One at a time, add the egg yolks while whisking constantly.

Butter a 2-2 1/2 quart soufflé or baking dish.

In a perfectly clean and dry bowl , whisk the egg whites to soft peaks and gradually whisk in the remaining sugar and continue to whisk until the peaks stiffen. Gently fold the egg whites into the soufflé base and pour into the prepared baking dish.

Bake for 35 - 40 minutes until the soufflé rises 2 inches above soufflé dish. Dust with confectioners sugar and serve immediately because the soufflé will deflate in less than two minutes.

CREOLE EGGPLANT SOUFFLé

1 large eggplant
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup mild cheddar or Velveeta, grated
1 tablespoon ketchup

Rinse out saucepan and add 1 cup milk; whisk in flour and heat milk to a simmer but do not boil. Be careful not to allow bottom of pan to scorch. Add butter. When mixture has thickened (about 15 minutes) whisk in the mashed eggplant and grated cheese. Add ketchup, grated onion, egg yolks, salt and pepper.

Note: To save time, a hand blender or food processor can be used to blend ingredients up to this point.

Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold gently into eggplant mixture.

Pour into a soufflé dish which has been lined on the sides with waxed paper to extend 2-3 inches above top edges (to allow soufflé to rise above the sides of dish).

Bake for 30-40 minutes at 350°F or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
