Broccoli Souffle
From grandmacooks 17 years ago
- 30 minutes to make
- Serves 6
From one of my old cookbooks. Just a hint of nutmeg brings out the flavor of the broccoli, but don't use too much (like I tried once!) because it's too intense.
Ingredients
- 10 ounce pkg frozen chopped broccoli shopping list
- 3 Tbsp butter shopping list
- 3 Tbsp flour shopping list
- 1 cup milk (not low-fat or skim) shopping list
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg shopping list
- 1 tsp lemon juice shopping list
- 4 eggs shopping list
How to make it
- Cook broccoli as you normally would and drain any remaining liquid.
- While broccoli is cooking, separate the eggs and put the whites aside for later.
- In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter then blend in the flour.
- Pour in milk slowly, stirring and mixing in as you pour.
- Cook this mixture until it is thick and smooth.
- Add salt, nutmeg and lemon juice.
- Beat egg yolks and stir a little of the hot mixture into the beaten yolks. Then stir this mixture back into your hot mixture in the saucepan.
- Stir in the cooked broccoli and let cool.
- About 40 minutes before you want your souffle to be ready, preheat oven to 400 then beat the egg whites until stiff.
- Put the broccoli mixture in a greased 1 1/2 or 2 quart casserole dish.
- Gently fold in the beaten eggs.
- Bake at 400 for 25 minutes.
- Serve immediately. It will fall a little while it is baking but this is okay.
