APPLE AND CHEDDAR CHEESE SOUFFLES

Steps:

• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter just until the edges of the butter look slightly browned and smells nutty, about 1 minute. Stir apples into butter and cook until they just begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar and continue to cook until apples are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Transfer apples to a plate and spread out to cool.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 4 ramekins generously with butter. Place ramekins onto a sheet pan.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat; stir in flour and cook until mixture is smooth and raw taste of flour is cooked out of the roux, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour milk into roux, bring to a simmer, and whisk until mixture thickens to a smooth white sauce, about 2 minutes. Cook, whisking, for 1 minute more and remove from heat; cool white sauce to lukewarm temperature.
• Pour white sauce into a large mixing bowl and whisk in salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, and egg yolks. Stir Cheddar cheese into white sauce mixture until thoroughly combined.
• Whisk egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until they hold soft, fluffy peaks, about 2 minutes. Gently fold half the beaten egg whites into the souffle batter. Repeat with remaining whites to make a soft, airy batter. Fold in cooled apple mixture. Divide mixture into prepared ramekins.
• Bake in the preheated oven until souffles have risen and tops are browned, about 22 minutes. Souffles will fall slightly as they cool. Serve warm.

TWICE-BAKED GOAT'S CHEESE SOUFFLéS WITH APPLE & WALNUT SALAD

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan and use about 1 tbsp to grease 6 x 200ml soufflé dishes. Place the remaining butter back on the heat, then scatter over the flour and mix well. Cook for 5 mins, stirring constantly, then gradually whisk in the warm milk, a little at a time, until you have a thick, smooth mixture. Stir in the Parmesan, mustard and thyme, then set aside to cool slightly. Beat in the egg yolks, fold through the goat's cheese, season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a large bowl.
• In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until they just start to stiffen and hold peaks. Use a metal spoon to fold them into the cheesy mixture, in 3 additions.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Spoon the mix into the soufflé dishes, then sit them in a roasting tin. Pour boiling water into the tin to reach halfway up the sides of the dishes. Bake the soufflés for 20-25 mins until they are risen and coloured. Remove the dishes and set aside for 10 mins. Run a knife around the edges, then turn out onto an ovenproof tray. The soufflés can now be kept covered in the fridge overnight or frozen for up to a month. Defrost fully before reheating as below. To make the Parmesan glaze, whisk the cream, Parmesan and egg yolk until combined.
• About 15 mins before you are ready to eat, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Drizzle the tops of the soufflés with the glaze. Bake for 10 mins, then finally flash under the grill until the tops are golden.
• Make the salad. Toss the salad leaves, apple, chives and walnuts. Mix the red wine vinegar and olive oil together, season, then dress the salad. To serve, place the soufflés in the centre of the plates and scatter salad around each.

APPLE CHEESE SOUFFLéS

Steps:

• In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. When it starts sizzling, add diced apples and sauté for 2 minutes. Add brown sugar and salt; cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the liquid is almost evaporated and the apples are soft enough to be broken with the tip of a wooden spoon. Transfer the apple mixture to a bowl to cool off; set aside.
• Return the skillet over medium heat and add butter. When melted and hot, add flour and whisk for 2 minutes to remove the raw taste of it. Slowly pour in half-and-half, whisking constantly until there are no lumps and the sauce thickens. Reduce heat to low and add paprika, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper; whisk to incorporate. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large bowl and set aside; cool for 10 to 15 minutes
• Prep the cooking vessels by coating them with butter and then up the sides. Sprinkle Grana Padano cheese at the bottom and on the sides; set aside.
• Add to the sauce, 2 egg yolks and cheese; stir to blend. Add the apple mixture and stir well; set aside.
• In a medium stainless steel bowl, add 3 egg whites and a pinch of cream of tartar. Using a hand mixer, process until medium to stiff peaks form.
• Add 1/3 of the beaten egg whites to the sauce and gently fold in until just incorporated. Add the remaining beaten egg whites and fold in gently until just mixed. Fill the cooking vessels about ¾'s full and place them on a baking dish lined with a silicone mat.
• Transfer to a 400ºF preheated oven at the bottom rack; bake for 22 to 25 minutes if using ramekins (4 ounces each) or 25 to 28 minutes if using cocottes (8 ounces each). Serve immediately.
