CHEF JOHN'S ASPARAGUS SOUFFLE



Chef John's Asparagus Souffle image

Contrary to popular belief, souffles are not very difficult, as long as you respect the laws of physics. I hope you give this recipe a try, and also experiment with other vegetables. Broccoli, artichokes, leeks, spinach, or any other edible plant you can puree should work with the same basic procedure.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup cold milk
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
½ clove garlic, minced
4 eggs, separated
½ cup grated sharp white Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Cook asparagus in a saucepan of boiling water until bright green but still crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer asparagus to ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and stir until mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  • Whisk milk into butter-flour mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and cayenne pepper.
  • Place milk mixture, garlic, and asparagus in a blender and puree until smooth.
  • Pour asparagus mixture into a large bowl; stir in egg yolks and Cheddar cheese.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C)
  • Generously butter 4 (6-ounce) ramekins
  • Beat egg whites in a large glass or metal mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak
  • Stir half of egg whites into asparagus cheese mixture until just combined. Gently fold remaining egg whites into mixture.
  • Fill prepared ramekins about 3/4 full and place on a baking sheet; bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 medium yellow squash, cut into1/4-inch-thick half-moon slices
1 pound thin asparagus, bottoms trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup roasted red pepper strips
2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallion greens
6 eggs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch freshly ground nutmeg
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Vegetable oil spray, as needed
Equipment: 9 by 5-inch loaf pan and parchment paper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, squash, and asparagus and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the pepper strips and scallions. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the cheeses and the cooled vegetables.
  • Spray the loaf pan with vegetable oil spray, line the bottom with a piece of parchment paper, and spray again.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pan, and top with another piece of vegetable oil sprayed parchment paper. Place the pan in a larger baking dish and place on the center oven rack. Pour enough hot water into the baking dish to reach halfway up the loaf pan. Bake until the center is firm and a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
  • Remove the souffle from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Run a butter knife around the edges of the pan to release the souffle. Turn the souffle out onto a cutting board and remove the parchment paper. Cut the souffle into 8 slices and serve hot or at room temperature.
