Fallen Goat Cheese Souffles on Wilted Spinach Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2002 (5 Stars) Serves:6 servings Ingredients | |
3 tablespoons plus 5 teaspoons | unsalted butter |
1 tablespoon | fine dry bread crumbs |
1 tablespoon | finely grated Parmesan |
2 tablespoons | minced shallots |
3 tablespoons | all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 cups | milk |
3 large | egg yolks |
4 ounces | goat cheese |
1 teaspoon | minced fresh tarragon |
1/4 teaspoon | salt |
1/4 teaspoon | freshly ground black pepper |
4 large | egg whites |
Pinch | cream of tartar |
1/2 cup | dried cherries |
1/2 cup | lightly toasted pine nuts |
Wilted Spinach, recipe follows Directions Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly butter 6 (3/4 cup/6-ounce) ramekins with 4 teaspoons of the butter. Combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese and use to dust the bottoms and sides of each ramekin. Set inside a roasting pan large enough to hold the cups without touching. Lightly grease a baking sheet with 1 teaspoon of the butter and set aside. In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until soft and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it thickens slightly and forms a light roux, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the milk, and bring to a boil. Simmer, whisking, until thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the egg yolks 1 at a time, whisking after each addition. Add the cheese, tarragon, salt, and pepper, and stir to incorporate. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks just form. Stir 1/4 of the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Gently fold the remaining egg whites into the yolks in 3 additions. Divide among the prepared custard cups and fill the roasting pan with warm water to come half way up the sides of the ramekins. Bake without opening the oven door until slightly puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack. Let rest uncovered for 30 minutes. Run a thin, sharp knife around the edges of the ramekins to release the souffles. (Note: souffles can be covered at this point in plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight.) Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Bake the souffles until puffed and heated through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven. Add the dried cherries and pine nuts to the spinach and stir to combine. Divide the wilted spinach mixture among 6 salad plates. Arrange 1 souffle on each plate and serve. Wilted Spinach: | |
