Yield Serves 2; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 10-ounce package frozen creamed spinach, thawed
3/4 cup coarsely grated Swiss cheese (about 3 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 large egg yolks
3 large egg whites
1 7.25-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained well, 1 tablespoon of juices reserved
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 large shallot, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Blend creamed spinach, grated Swiss cheese, salt and pepper in medium bowl; whisk in egg yolks. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large bowl until stiff but not dry; fold into spinach mixture. Gently transfer to prepared dish.
  • Bake soufflé until beginning to color at edges and center is puffed and softly set, about 18 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, purée half of roasted red peppers, 1 tablespoon reserved red pepper juices and balsamic vinegar in processor until almost smooth. Add remaining roasted red peppers and shallot and chop, using on/off turns, until chunky purée forms. Transfer sauce to small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until warmed through; season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon soufflé onto plates. Serve, passing sauce separately.
