February 27, 2008: Mushroom Souffle

soy bomb?

A: A mushroom cloud!

And hither it is inwards song...

If you're afterwards something edible, I don't intend there's anything that says 'cloud' quite in addition to then much every bit whipped egg whites. So how close a mushroom souffle? This is about other dish that I didn't truly accept a recipe for, in addition to then I relied on Google over again in addition to chose this one from "That's My Home" Recipes. It's a picayune lean on the details, in addition to then I'll rewrite the recipe below every bit I cooked it.

Souffles accept a reputation for beingness difficult, in addition to past times the fourth dimension I'd sauteed my veges, whipped the egg whites in addition to washed a muddied baking tray, I must acknowledge I was feeling a picayune 'difficult' myself. But I got them into the oven, where they dutifully rose to the occasion. After close 10 minutes out of the oven they'd sunk again, but fifty-fifty these withdrawn souffles retained an airy, cloud-like texture beneath the cheesy crust. Michael loved them, in addition to I liked them good enough. I dug the mushrooms in addition to cheese, but the dominant egg flavor simply doesn't live for me.

This in all probability isn't something I'll endeavor over again - I simply couldn't resist sharing alongside y'all the punchline to my picayune joke!

Mushroom souffle

1/2 a large onion, finely diced
2 cups mushrooms, chopped
a splash of oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2/3 loving cup milk
4 eggs, separated
1/4 loving cup parmesan cheese, grated

Saute the onion in addition to mushrooms inwards a splash of crude until softened. (I similar mine truly good done, but become for what y'all ordinarily like.) Turn off the oestrus in addition to ready aside.

In a modest saucepan over depression heat, melt the butter in addition to stir inwards the flour. Add the milk in addition to increase the oestrus a little, stirring until thickened. Stir inwards the mushrooms in addition to onions. When the mixture has cooled a bit, stir inwards the egg yolks.

In a split upward bowl, vanquish the egg whites until stiff. Fold them gently into the residue of the mixture. Grease a large baking dish or 6-8 ramekins in addition to gently pour inwards the souffle mixture to 3/4 full. Sprinkle over the cheese. Bake for 20-30 minutes at 190 degrees C.
