MISE EN PLACE 🔪
Directions
Make the Cheese Soufflé
Preheat oven to 400F
- Grate the parmesan cheese. Grate the cheddar cheese. Mince the garlic. Hache half of the Truffle Carpaccio.
- Separate the eggs (5 whites & 4 yolks for cheese) (3 whites & 3 yolks for chocolate)
- Spray 4 ramekins with pan spray. Coat the sprayed ramekins with parmesan cheese.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and saute the garlic for 1 minute. Add in the flour and cook for 2 minutes.
- Stream in the whole milk and whisk until the mixture has thickened. Remove from the heat
Add in the dijon mustard and grated cheese. Season with S&P Seasoning to taste. Set aside and allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes.
- Once slightly cooled, whisk in the egg yolks
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 5 egg whites and ½ teaspoon of cream of tartar. Whip until soft peaks are formed.
- Gently fold the egg white mixture into the cheese mixture in three additions.
- Transfer the mixture to your cheese lined ramekins. Fill to a little below the rim of the container. Using a paring knife, run the blade around the soufflé creating a channel between the ramekin and batter.
- Bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes or until they have risen out of the ramekins and the top has become golden brown.
Make the Chocolate Soufflé
Put 1” of water in a medium saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil.
- Place a medium heat safe mixing bowl over the pot of boiling water. Add the butter and chocolate and mix with a rubber spatula until melted and well combined.
Whisk in three egg yolks, vanilla, and a pinch of S&P Seasoning.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, beat three egg whites until frothy.
- Add in 3 tablespoons of sugar and the cream of tartar and beat until they reach stiff peaks. Be careful not to over beat.
- Carefully fold the egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture in three additions.
- Portion your batters into four ramekins and use an offset spatula or the flat side of a knife to scrape the mixture so it is even and flat on the top.
- Using a paring knife or your finger, trace the edge of the ramekin to create a channel between the soufflé mixture and ramekin. This will help ensure a nice rise.
- Place all the soufflés on a sheet tray and bake at 400F for 10-15 minutes. It is done when the soufflé has risen out of the container, the top is fully set. It will jiggle just slightly.
