Subj : 5/18 Nat Cheese Souffle 2 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Wed May 17 2023 07:25:00 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Maman's Cheese Souffle From Jacques Pepin Categories: Cheese, Eggs, Dairy, Vegetables Yield: 4 servings 6 tb Unsalted butter, plus - additional to butter a 5 - to 6 cup gratin dish 1/4 c Fine grated Parmesan cheese 6 tb All-purpose flour 2 c Whole milk 1/2 ts Salt 1/2 ts Freshly ground black pepper 6 lg Eggs 2 1/2 c Gruyere (about 6 oz) +=PLUS=+ 3 sl (2" X 3") Gruyere 3 tb Minced chives Set the oven @ 400ºF/205ºC. Butter a 5 to 6 cup gratin dish, sprinkle the bottom and sides with half the Parmesan, and set it aside. Melt the 6 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan, then add the flour and mix it in well with a whisk. Cook for 10 seconds, add the cold milk in one stroke and mix it in with a whisk. Keep stirring with the whisk until the mixture thickens and comes to a strong boil, about 2 minutes. It should be thick and smooth. Remove from the heat, and stir in the salt and pepper. Break the eggs into a bowl and beat well with a fork. After about 10 minutes, the white sauce should be cool enough to proceed. Moving quickly, add the eggs, cheese and the chives to the sauce, and mix well to combine. Pour into the buttered gratin dish and cook immediately, or set aside until ready to cook. If setting aside for a few hours, the souffle can remain outside at room temperature. If assembling a day ahead, refrigerate and bring back to room temperature before baking. Sprinkle the surface with the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan and arrange the 3 slices of Gruyere in a circle in the center, if using. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until puffy and well browned on top. Although it will stay inflated for quite awhile, it is best served immediately.
