Garlic Mushroom Souffle Recipes

MUSHROOM SOUFFLé

Steps:

• MELT butter in saucepan then add heavy cream over low heat, whisk and cook until it reaches a boil.
• ADD in salt, onions, garlic and 2 oz comte-gruyere, whisking until cheese is melted.
• REMOVE sauce from heat and cover.
• PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees.
• PLACE dried morel mushrooms in bowl and soak in hot water for 5 minutes. Remove and place on a towel to dry.
• PLACE eggs and cornstarch in mixer while the morels are drying. Mix on low setting until egg whites are foamy, frothy and firm. Remove and place in a mixing bowl.
• ADD the remaining comte-gruyere cheese, sliced morel mushrooms and 1 oz of prepared sauce mix.
• SCOOP mixture and pile up high on a ceramic soufflé bowl.
• PLACE in oven for 20 minutes or until the soufflé is golden brown.
• REMOVE soufflé from oven and serve with the remaining sauce on the side.

SAUTEED MUSHROOMS IN GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and garlic; cook and stir until the mushrooms are a light golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in the basil.
• Reduce heat to low, and pour the wine into the skillet. Simmer until most of the wine has evaporated. Serve immediately.

MUSHROOM SOUFFLé WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190c. Grind the bread to breadcrumbs in a food processor. Butter and breadcrumb the inside of the soufflé dish, knocking out any excess. My dish was 20cm wide and 8cm high - with this size of dish, the soufflé will rise about 3cm above the edge. If you want a higher, more spectacular rise, use a dish with a smaller volume.
• In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, cream and rye flour (sprinkle the flour in gradually to avoid lumps). Add the mushrooms, garlic, paprika and black pepper and heat over medium heat until very well thickened. Add the fresh basil and salt. Taste a little of the mixture and add more salt if you think it needs it - it should be fairly salty to allow for the addition of egg whites - and stir to combine. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside to cool for about 10 minutes.
• Separate the eggs, adding the yolks to the mushroom mixture and the whites to a very clean bowl for whisking (the bowl you choose will depend on your whisking method and whether you are using a machine or not.) Beat the yolks into the mushroom mixture until thoroughly incorporated. Whisk the whites to stiff peaks (I used a stand mixer). Gently fold the whites into the mushroom mixture - there should still be lots of air in the batter, but there should be no large blobs of egg white.
• Pour into the prepared dish - if necessary, the uncooked soufflé will hold for about an hour after it has been added to the dish. Bake at 190c for 35 minutes, until well risen and firm, but still moist and creamy in the centre. Serve immediately.

MUSHROOM SOUFFLE WITH PECORINO ROMANO

Steps:

• Position oven rack in the center of oven; preheat oven to 400°.
• Generously butter an 8-inch souffle dish; sprinkle lightly with cheese, shaking the dish to coat evenly.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Add in mushrooms; cook, stirring, until they begin to release their moisture.
• Increase heat to med-high; saute until the moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the parsley, rosemary, thyme, and garlic; saute for 1 minute.
• Add 1 teaspoon salt and a generous grinding of pepper; set aside to cool.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat; add in flour; cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.
• Gradually whisk in milk; bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes; add in remaining 1 teaspoon salt and a grinding of pepper; remove from heat.
• In a big bowl, whisk the egg yolks until blended; whisk in a little of the white sauce to temper the eggs, then add the remaining sauce, whisking until blended.
• Add in mushrooms and cheese; stir.
• Add egg whites to a large bowl, then add in cream of tartar; beat slowly with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
• Increase speed to high and beat until peaks are stiff and smooth.
• Using a rubber spatula, transfer about 1/3 of the egg whites to the mushroom sauce and gently fold in until blended.
• Add the remaining egg white to the sauce and gently fold in until blended; pour into prepared dish.
• Put the souffle in the oven and decrease temperature to 375°; bake until the souffle is puffed and golden, 30-35 minutes.
• If you like your souffle firm in the center, bake it for 5 minutes more; serve at once.

GARLIC MUSHROOM PASTA

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, mushrooms, and garlic in hot oil until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add about 1 teaspoon olive oil to keep spaghetti from sticking. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer hot spaghetti back to pot.
• Stir eggs into spaghetti; allow heat from spaghetti to cook the eggs. Stir onion and mushroom mixture and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese into spaghetti over low heat until eggs are fully cooked and cheese is melted. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese.

GARLIC SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
• Set aside three cloves of garlic for the basic sauce. Put the remaining garlic cloves in a small, shallow baking dish and add the olive oil, water, one-half teaspoon thyme, one bay leaf, salt and pepper. Cover closely and place in the oven. Bake one and one-half hours or until the garlic is totally tender. Baste the garlic pieces occasionally as they cook.
• Meanwhile, melt the six tablespoons butter in a heavy saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. Bring the half-andhalf and heavy cream to the boil in a small saucepan and add it to the flour and butter mixture, stirring rapidly with the whisk. When thickened and smooth, add salt to taste. Set the saucepan in a basin of simmering water.
• Tie the quartered onion, the reserved garlic cloves, one-half teaspoon thyme, the remaining two bay leaves, parsley sprigs and peppercorns in a small square of cheesecloth. Bring up the ends and tie them to make a bag. Add this to the sauce. Cover closely and let the sauce cook in simmering water about one hour, stirring the sauce occasionally. Remove the saucepan from the water and let it cool briefly. Remove and discard the cheesecloth bag.
• Increase the oven heat to 450 degrees.
• Put the baked garlic through a food mill, pressing to extract as much pulp and liquid as possible from the solids. Or press it through a sieve, using a pestle. There should be about one and one-half tablespoons. Add this to the cream sauce and stir.
• Add the egg yolks, the Gruyere or Swiss cheese and two-thirds cup of the Parmesan and beat well to blend. Add the cayenne, salt and pepper and blend well.
• Beat the egg whites until stiff. Add half of them to the cheese sauce and beat them in. Add the remaining whites and fold them quickly until well distributed.
• Generously butter a 12-inch oval, ovenproof platter. Pour in the souffle mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and thyme. Place on the top rack of the oven and bake 10 minutes until well browned.

MAKE-AHEAD MUSHROOM SOUFFLéS

Steps:

• Fry the mushrooms in the butter for about 3 mins, then remove from the heat and reserve a good spoonful. Add the flour to the rest, then blend in the milk and return to the heat, stirring all the time to make a thick sauce. Stir in the cheese, season to taste, then leave to cool.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Butter 8 x 150ml soufflé dishes and line the bases with baking paper. Stir the egg yolks into the soufflé mixture, then whisk the egg whites until stiff before folding in carefully. Spoon into the soufflé dishes and bake in a roasting tin, half-filled with cold water, for 15 mins until risen and golden. Leave to cool (they will sink, but they are meant to). You can make the soufflés up to this stage up to 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
• When ready to serve, turn the soufflés out of their dishes, peel off the lining paper, then put them on a baking sheet lined with small squares of baking paper. Top each soufflé with 1 tsp crème fraîche and a little cheese, then scatter with the reserved mushrooms. Bake at 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 for 10-15 mins until slightly risen and warmed through. Sprinkle with chives and serve.
