Gruyère And Parmesan Cheese Soufflé Recipes

GRUYèRE AND CHIVE SOUFFLé

Steps:

• Remove wire racks from oven and place a baking sheet directly on oven floor. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Generously butter a 1 1/2-quart soufflé dish. Coat bottom and sides with 3 tablespoons/15 grams Parmesan, tapping out any excess.
• In a small pot, heat milk until steaming. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook until the mixture foams, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in warm milk. Return to heat and cook until thickened, whisking constantly, about 3 minutes.
• Remove from heat and whisk in paprika, salt and nutmeg. Whisk in egg yolks one at a time, blending fully after each addition. Transfer flour and yolk mixture to a large bowl.
• Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tartar at medium speed until the mixture holds stiff peaks.
• Whisk a quarter of the whites into the lukewarm yolk mixture to lighten. Gently fold in remaining whites in 2 additions while gradually sprinkling in Gruyère cheese, remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan and the chives. Transfer batter to prepared dish. Rub your thumb around the inside edge of the dish to create a 1/4-inch or so space between the dish and the soufflé mixture.
• Transfer dish to baking sheet in the oven and reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Bake until soufflé is puffed and golden brown on top and center barely moves when dish is shaken gently, about 30 minutes. (Do not open oven door during first 20 minutes.) Bake it a little less for a runnier soufflé and a little more for a firmer soufflé. Serve immediately.

PARMESAN & GRUYERE CHEESE SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Butter each ramekin generously and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
• Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour, cayenne pepper and nutmeg. Cook without browning until mixture begins to bubble, whisking constantly, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, then wine. Cook until smooth, thick and beginning to boil, whisking constantly, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Mix yolks, salt and pepper in small bowl. Add yolk mixture all at once to sauce and whisk quickly to blend. Fold in 1 1/4 cups Gruyère cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (cheeses do not need to melt).
• Using electric mixer, beat whites in large bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold 1/4 of whites into lukewarm souffle base to lighten. Fold in remaining whites. Transfer soufflé mixture to prepared dish. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons Gruyère cheese.
• Place souffle in oven; reduce heat to 375°F. Bake until puffed, golden and gently set in center, about 25 minutes. Serve immediately.

GRUYERE AND PARMESAN SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Start making the bechamel sauce. Melt the butter in a skillet over low heat. Stir in the process.
• Add the flour and keep stirring. Gradually add the milk while continuously stirring until you have a smooth paste. Set aside to cool.
• Add the egg whites to a bowl and whip them using a hand mixer. Mix until they make stiff peaks. Set aside.
• Add the paprika and nutmeg to the bechamel sauce. Stir until even.
• Continue by stirring in the yolks, one at a time.
• Add the whipped eggs and mix some more until just about even. Add the grated Gruyere and mix it in. Set aside.
• Coat 4 ramekins with butter, spread with grated parmesan, and distribute the egg and Gruyere mixture to them.
• Bake for 25 minutes at 350⁰F/175⁰C.

PARMESAN AND GRUYèRE CHEESE SOUFFLé

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a baking sheet in it to warm. Brush the soufflé dish(es) evenly with the melted butter, and if you like, sprinkle with a little freshly grated Parmesan.
• Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over a lowish heat. Stir in the flour, and cook, stirring constantly, over a gentle heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Take off the heat and gradually whisk in the milk. Then return the pan to the heat and whisk until it comes to a boil. Cover and simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Separate the eggs. Place the whites in a large bowl, making sure it is spotlessly clean and dry. Then whisk the yolks, one by one, into the white sauce. Add both cheeses and season with salt, pepper, cayenne, and a little freshly grated nutmeg. It should taste hugely, overly seasoned at this point because the egg whites will dull the seasoning later. Stir over a gentle heat for just a few seconds until the cheese melts. Remove from the heat.
• Using clean beaters, beat the egg whites with a little pinch of salt, slowly at first and then faster, until they are light and voluminous and hold a stiff peak when you lift up the beaters. Gently stir a few tablespoons of whipped whites into the cheese mixture to lighten it, and then carefully fold in the rest of the whites with a spatula.
• Using a light touch, scrape or spoon the mixture into the prepared soufflé dish(es). If using individual dishes, bear in mind if you fill them three-quarters full, you will get about 10 soufflés, but if you fill the dishes to the top, you will have about 8 soufflés. (The soufflé(s) can covered in plastic wrap and frozen at this point. Simply add a few more minutes to the baking time.)
• Bake in the oven for 8 to 9 minutes for individual soufflés, 20 to 25 minutes for the large one. For the large soufflé, you will need to reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) after 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

GRUYERE SOUFFLE WITH FRISEE SALAD

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 12- to 14-ounce ramekin and sprinkle with Parmesan to lightly coat, tapping out any excess. Refrigerate the prepared ramekin until you're ready to bake the souffle.
• For the Gruyere souffle: Combine the milk, thyme and bay leaf in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once the mixture is just simmering, remove the pan from the heat.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly until the mixture lightens and foams, about 2 minutes (this is your roux). Whisk in the warm milk, bring to a boil and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 1 minute. Remove the herbs, take the pot off the heat and whisk to cool slightly.
• Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the egg yolk, Parmesan, cayenne and a heavy pinch of kosher salt and pepper.
• Slowly whisk the egg whites and cream of tartar in a very clean bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute. (Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.) Increase the speed to medium-high and whip until the whites hold a soft peak, about 2 minutes. Quickly but gently fold the whites into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula in 3 additions until just streaky. Scatter the Gruyere over the top and fold the batter together, taking care not to overmix.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared ramekin. Place the ramekin on a baking sheet and bake until golden, puffed and just set in the center, 35 to 40 minutes. Note: Once you place the souffle in the oven, do not open the door! The steady, high heat will allow the souffle to rise. If you open the door it may fall.
• For the frisee salad: Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until well browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Whisk the shallot, vinegar, Dijon and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl until combined. Slowly whisk in the oil until smooth and emulsified. Add the frisee, radishes and bacon and toss until well coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper. Serve the souffle immediately after removing from the oven with the salad.

GRUYèRE OR COMTé CHEESE SOUFFLé

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 400 F. Brush the inside of a large soufflé dish with 2 tablespoons of softened butter. Sprinkle the Parmesan onto the buttered surface of the dish and gently shake the dish to spread the cheese evenly up the sides.
• In a large saucepan set over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Whisk the flour into the melted butter, and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
• Slowly stir the milk into the butter mixture, and cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens.
• Remove the milk from the heat and stir in the salt , pepper, nutmeg, egg yolks, and cheese.
• In a separate clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until the egg white form stiff peaks.
• Stir a few spoons of the egg whites into the cheese mixture and then gently fold the remaining egg whites into the soufflé batter.
• Pour the batter into the prepared soufflé dish and bake it for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the soufflé is puffed and deep golden brown.
• Serve the cheese soufflé immediately. Enjoy!
