Savory Sweet Potato Souffles image

Flavored with onion, garlic, and thyme, these savory mini souffles get their cheesy, crusty tops from melted Gruyere cheese. Serve them warm from the oven as a side dish, and eat them with a spoon.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon butter, plus more for baking dishes
1/2 small onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup coarsely grated Gruyere cheese
1 cup Sweet-Potato Puree
3 large eggs, separated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter 4 3/4-cup ramekins; set aside. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add onion, garlic, and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until onion is softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in flour; cook, stirring, 3 minutes.
  • Gradually whisk in milk; simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk in sweet-potato puree, then egg yolks, one at a time.
  • In a clean mixing bowl, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Whisk 1/4 of whites into cheese mixture. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the rest.
  • Place ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour mixture into ramekins; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes
