GOAT'S CHEESE, SPRING ONION & PARSLEY SOUFFLéS

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

• Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the egg yolks, 1 at a time. Stir rapidly so as not to cook the eggs. In another bowl beat the egg whites until firm peaks form, but not dry and stiff. Gradually fold whites into the cheese mixture. Pour souffle batter into 24 (6-ounce) ramekins, filling almost to the top. Bake in a water bath for about 35 minutes.
• Before serving, run a knife around the edge of each souffle and release them upside-down onto a buttered baking pan. Place 1 tablespoon of cream on top of each souffle and bake for about 15 minutes.

TWICE-BAKED GOAT CHEESE SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425°. Butter eight 5-ounce ramekins, making sure to coat them well. Coat each ramekin with breadcrumbs then turn them over and tap out the excess. Reserve any remaining breadcrumbs.
• Melt the 3 tablespoons butter in a stainless-steel skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 20 seconds, whisking constantly. Whisk in the milk and cook for about 1 minute, whisking constantly, until the mixture has thickened to the consistency of a thin, pourable pudding.
• Crumble 8 ounces of the cheese into a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot milk mixture over the goat cheese and mix well. Add the egg yolks and mix again. Season with salt and pepper.
• Using an electric mixer with clean, dry beaters, beat the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold half of the whites into the cheese mixture to lighten it. Then gently fold in the remaining whites.
• Divide half of the souffle mixture among the prepared ramekins. Crumble the remaining 2 ounces of goat cheese and divide among the ramekins, then top with the remaining half of the souffle mixture, dividing it equally among the ramekins. Sprinkle the remaining breadcrumbs over the top.
• Place the ramekins in a large baking pan and pour in boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
• Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the souffles are golden. Remove from the oven and let stand, still in their water bath, for 15 minutes.
• Using a towel to hold the ramekins, run a knife around the inside rim to loosen. Turn out the souffles onto a baking sheet. The souffles may be held at room temperature for up to 6 hours before the final baking.
• When ready to serve, bake the souffles in a 425° oven for 5-7 minutes, or until deep golden brown.

AMALIA'S GOAT-CHEESE SOUFFLAZY

Steps:

• Adjust an oven rack to the center position. Heat oven to 425 degrees.
• Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-by-12-inch rimmed baking sheet or 10-inch springform pan. Set aside.
• Make a water bath: Fill a medium pot with 2 inches of water, and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
• In a large metal bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, goat cheese, thyme, a pinch of salt and black pepper until the cheese breaks down. Reduce the heat so that the water stops simmering but continues to steam, and set the bowl over the pot. Whisk continuously until the mixture lightens in color and begins to thicken slightly. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl every minute or so. The bowl should never get so hot that the eggs cook and begin to stick to the sides. When the mixture is thick, foamy and very warm to the touch (about 6 minutes), remove bowl from heat, and stir in Gruyère. Taste, adjust seasoning with salt as needed and set aside in a warm spot.
• Combine egg whites and a pinch of salt in another large metal bowl, and set over water bath. Using a clean whisk, whip egg whites over the water until they are very warm to the touch. Alternatively, use an electric hand mixer fitted with whisk attachment set to slow speed to beat whites until they are very warm to the touch. Remove bowl from heat, and continue whipping to silky, medium-stiff peaks, about 4 minutes total by hand or 3 minutes total with electric mixer.
• Use a rubber spatula to gently add in half the egg whites to the yolk mixture, and fold until combined. Fold in remaining whites, scraping through to the bottom of the bowl to ensure thorough mixing. Pour mixture into prepared baking sheet (or cake pan), and slide carefully onto center oven rack.
• Bake for 11 to 13 minutes (18 to 21 minutes if using cake pan), refraining from opening the oven door, until the soufflé puffs up, turns golden brown and an inserted wooden skewer comes out mostly (but not entirely) clean. If you jiggle the pan, there should be the slightest hint of wiggle left to the soufflé.
• Use a serving spoon to scoop onto plates. Serve immediately with buttered toast and green salad, if desired.
