Hello again! As promised, here is a picture (and the Jacques Pepin recipe) from our yummy dinner the other night. And I couldn't resist including a picture of our sweet potato fries as well...
Cheese Soufflé
6 Tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, plus more to butter dish
6 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups cold whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 large eggs
2 1/3 cups grated Swiss cheese (about 6 oz.)
3 Tablespoons minced fresh scallions (or chives)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Butter a soufflé or 6 -cup gratin dish, and set it aside. Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the flour, and mix it in well with a whisk. Cook for 10 seconds, and add the milk in 1 stroke, and mix it in with a whisk. Keep stirring with the whisk until the mixture thickens and comes to a strong boil, which will take about 2 minutes. It should be thick and smooth. Remove from the heat, and stir in the salt and pepper. Allow about 10 minutes for the white sauce to cool (or else you'll have scrambled eggs).
Meanwhile, break the eggs into a bowl, and beat well with a fork. Add the eggs, the cheese and the chives to the cooled saue, and mix well to combine. Pour into the buttered gratin dish and cook immediately, or set aside until ready to cook.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the soufflé is puffy and well browned on top. Although it will stay inflated for quite awhile, it is best served immediately.
Enjoy!
I've been into a few different craft/sewing ventures lately, so I'll post an update on those within the next couple of days.
