Twice Baked Goat Cheese Souffles Recipes

Steps:

• Combine milk, onion, cloves and nutmeg in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to boil. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand 30 minutes. Strain.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter eight 1 1/4-cup soufflé dishes. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and dry mustard and whisk 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in strained milk. Boil until mixture is very thick and smooth, whisking constantly, about 2 minutes. Transfer soufflé base to large bowl. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups cheese, whisking until melted and smooth. Add yolks, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper; whisk until smooth. Cool to lukewarm.
• Beat egg whites and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in another large bowl until stiff but not dry. Gently fold beaten whites into cheese mixture in 3 additions.
• Divide batter equally among prepared soufflé dishes. Arrange dishes in heavy 17x12-inch roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into pan to come halfway up sides of dishes. Bake until soufflés are puffed and just firm to touch on top, about 20 minutes. Transfer pan to rack and completely cool soufflés in water. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Butter heavy large baking sheet. Using small knife, cut around sides of soufflés to loosen. Invert each soufflé onto spatula and slide soufflés onto prepared sheet, spacing evenly. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese. Bake until soufflés are puffed, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring cream to boil in heavy small saucepan. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.
• Using spatula, transfer soufflés to plates. Spoon seasoned cream around soufflés and serve hot.

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.

Steps:

• Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425°. Butter eight 5-ounce ramekins, making sure to coat them well. Coat each ramekin with breadcrumbs then turn them over and tap out the excess. Reserve any remaining breadcrumbs.
• Melt the 3 tablespoons butter in a stainless-steel skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 20 seconds, whisking constantly. Whisk in the milk and cook for about 1 minute, whisking constantly, until the mixture has thickened to the consistency of a thin, pourable pudding.
• Crumble 8 ounces of the cheese into a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot milk mixture over the goat cheese and mix well. Add the egg yolks and mix again. Season with salt and pepper.
• Using an electric mixer with clean, dry beaters, beat the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold half of the whites into the cheese mixture to lighten it. Then gently fold in the remaining whites.
• Divide half of the souffle mixture among the prepared ramekins. Crumble the remaining 2 ounces of goat cheese and divide among the ramekins, then top with the remaining half of the souffle mixture, dividing it equally among the ramekins. Sprinkle the remaining breadcrumbs over the top.
• Place the ramekins in a large baking pan and pour in boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
• Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the souffles are golden. Remove from the oven and let stand, still in their water bath, for 15 minutes.
• Using a towel to hold the ramekins, run a knife around the inside rim to loosen. Turn out the souffles onto a baking sheet. The souffles may be held at room temperature for up to 6 hours before the final baking.
• When ready to serve, bake the souffles in a 425° oven for 5-7 minutes, or until deep golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F and butter six 3/4-cup ramekins (3 3/4 by 2 inches). Crumble goat cheese and separate eggs. In a saucepan melt butter over moderately low heat and whisk in flour. Cook roux, whisking, 3 minutes and whisk in milk. Bring mixture to a boil, whisking constantly, and simmer, whisking occasionally, 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat and add yolks, mustard, 1 teaspoon thyme, two thirds cheese, and salt and pepper to taste, whisking until cheese is melted. Transfer yolk mixture to a large bowl.
• In another large bowl with an electric mixer beat whites with a pinch salt until they just hold stiff peaks. Stir one fourth whites into yolk mixture to lighten and fold in remaining whites and remaining cheese gently but thoroughly.
• Divide soufflé mixture among ramekins and arrange in a large baking pan just large enough to hold them. Add enough hot water to baking pan to reach halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake soufflés in middle of oven until slightly puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes, and transfer to a rack. Let soufflés stand, uncovered, 30 minutes (soufflés will fall slightly).
• Lightly butter a baking sheet. Run a thin knife around edges of soufflés. Invert each soufflé onto palm of your hand and carefully put, right side up, onto baking sheet. Soufflés may be made up to this point 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.
• Increase temperature to 425°F.
• In a small saucepan bring cream with remaining teaspoon thyme and salt and pepper to taste to a boil. Remove pan from heat and keep cream warm, covered. Bake soufflés in middle of oven until slightly puffed and heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer soufflés to plates. Spoon 2 tablespoons cream over each soufflé and arrange salad decoratively alongside.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
• Whisk in flour and cook for a minute.
• Whisk in milk and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
• Add goat cheese, stir until melted& simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat.
• Whisk egg yolks in a small bowl.
• Whisk 1 cup of the goat cheese mixture into the egg yolks, then whisk back into the saucepan.
• Stir over low heat until slightly thickened, about 30 seconds, being careful not to let the mixture curdle.
• Strain into a bowl and place plastic wrap DIRECTLY onto the surface.
• Generously butter 6 1/2 cup ramekins& place in a large baking pan.
• Peel garlic cloves, push through a sieve& set aside.
• Beat egg whites with electric mixer until stiff.
• Stir roasted garlic into goat cheese mixture; fold egg whites into mixture.
• Divide mixture among ramekins.
• Pour enough boiling water into baking pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
• Bake in center of a 350°F oven until soufflés are firm in the center, about 25 minutes.
• Cool in the water bath for 10 minutes before transferring the ramekins to a wire rack.
• Heat tomato sauce& whipping cream in a small saucepan; stir in parsley and keep warm.
• Unmold soufflés and place on a baking sheet.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan& Gruyere cheeses and place under broiler just until cheeses have melted& tops are golden.
• WATCH CAREFULLY!
• Spoon tomato mixture onto serving plates and arrange soufflés on top.
• Sprinkle some additional parsley and garnish with a couple of halved grape or cherry tomatoes.
