Ingredients

2 cups broccoli, heads mainly but some stem if fresh is okay

2 cups ricotta (light or full strength both work)

1/2 cup grated parmesan

5 egg yolks

1 tspn ground nutmeg

1/2 tspn cayenne pepper

1 finely chopped onion

2 crushed cloves garlic

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 Tbsp butter

4 Tbsp bread crumbs

5 egg whites

1/2 tspn cream of tartar

sprinkling of sea salt

sprinkling of cracked pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 200 Celsius (380 F)

Cook the broccoli in boiling water for 3 minutes, drain and allow to cool slightly, then chop into little bite size portions

Put olive oil and butter in a fry pan, add onion & garlic and saute until onion has softened. Tip onion/garlic mixture into a large mixing bowl.

Add broccoli, ricotta, parmesan, egg yolks, nutmeg, cayenne, pepper, sea salt and mix well with a large spoon.

In your mixer bowl (or use hand whisk if necessary) place egg whites, cream of tartar and a sprinkling of sea salt. Whisk the egg whites until they are very stiff and fluffy.

Add about 1/3 of the egg whites to the onion/broccoli/cheese mixture and stir in well (this loosens up that part of the mixture).

Grease a soufflé or casserole dish with some butter and then add the breadcrumbs to the bottom of the dish. Roll dish around so that the inside is coated with the breadcrumbs. Tip out and discard any remaining breadcrumbs.

Now gently fold in the remaining egg white to the onion/broccoli/cheese mixture taking care to keep the result light and fluffy.

Tip mixture into coated dish and place into oven.

Bake for 40 minutes (mixture will set and top will bake a lovely brown), remove, allow to rest for 3-5 minutes then serve.

Wow! I keep an eye out for broccoli recipes, and I've never made a souffle before, so here's a perfect opportunity. Thanks!

Thanks again Sweetwords - you'll love this recipe if you like broccoli and there's something you can privately chuff about when you make your first soufflé and it stays fluffy and light (as this one does). Enjoy :)
