Mascarpone Souffle Food

CHEESE SOUFFLé IN 4 EASY STEPS

Steps:

• Preparing the soufflé dish: Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and place a baking sheet on the middle shelf. Butter a 15cm soufflé dish generously, then sprinkle in the breadcrumbs and rotate the dish to ensure the butter is evenly coated. Tip out any excess breadcrumbs.
• Making a thick white sauce: In a pan, melt the butter over a medium heat; stir in the flour and mustard. Cook, stirring, for 1 min. Take off the heat and gradually stir in the milk, mixing it in thoroughly before adding more. Return to the heat and stir continuously until very thick (around 10 mins). Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool. Crack the eggs, placing the whites into a clean bowl and stirring the yolks into the sauce. Stir in cheddar and season well.
• Adding the egg whites: Use a clean whisk to beat the egg whites until peaks form that just hold their shape (electric is best as it will make the job much quicker). Then take a metal spoon and gently stir the whipped whites into the white sauce in a figure of eight.
• Top-hatting: Spoon the mixture into the dish. Run a cutlery knife around the edge to create a 'top hat' effect; this ensures the soufflé rises above the rim and doesn't stick. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 mins until the top is golden and risen and has a slight wobble. Serve immediately.
• EQUIPMENT: 15cm soufflé dish, saucepan, 2 large mixing bowls, wooden spoon, spatula, baking sheet, large metal spoon, measuring jug, grater, electric whisk, cutlery knife.

MASCARPONE SOUFFLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Makes 8 Servings Preheat oven to 350°. Butter a 13×9 baking dish or 8 individual oven-proof baking dishes. I use Pyrex 6 oz. custard cups. Using a mixer, blend butter, sugar, eggs, sour cream, orange juice, flour and baking powder until blended. Using half of the batter, divide evenly between the cups. Prepare filling by combining the mascarpone, cottage cheese, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla extract until blended. Spoon 1/4 cup over batter (it will mix slightly with the batter). Pour remaining batter, divided evenly, over filling. Unbaked souffle may be covered and refrigerated several hours or overnight. Make certain the dishes you are using can go from refrigerator to oven. Before baking, bring souffle to room temperature. Bake uncovered 50-60 minutes or until puffed and golden. Serve immediately with your favorite berry sauce and a dollop of sour cream. Note* If you are using a 13×9 baking dish, pour half the batter in pan, drop filling by large spoonful's over batter and spread evenly. (It will mix in slightly with the batter). Top with remaining half of batter. Follow directions above. The baking temperature and time are the same.

MACARONI SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300*F. Bring a pan of lightly salted water to a boil and cook the macaroni until al dente, about 8 minutes.
• Melt the butter in a pan. Use a little of it to coat the inside of a 5 cup souffle dish. Coat evenly with the breadcrumbs, shaking out any excess.
• Heat the remaining butter in the pan and stir in the paprika and flour. Cook for 1 minute, stirring. Gradually add the milk, stirring until the sauce boils and thickens. Add the grated cheeses, stirring until melted, then season well.
• Remove the pan from the heat, let the sauce cool slightly, then beat in the egg yolks. Whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks and spoon 1/4 into the sauce mixture, beating it gently to loosen it up.
• Using a large metal spoon, carefully fold in the rest of the egg whites. Gently fold in the macaroni. Transfer the mixture to the prepared souffle dish. Bake in the center of the oven for about 40-45 minutes, until the souffle has risen and is golden brown. Make sure you serve this as soon as it is cooked or it will sink dramatically. The middle should wobble very slightly. Enjoy!
