Twice Baked Goats Cheese Soufflé
- 40g butter
- 225ml milk
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 pinch grated nutmeg
- 1/2 onion, sliced
- 40g flour
- 175g ripe goat's cheese
- 4x60g eggs separated
- 150ml cream
- 1/2 teaspoon Alpine Pepper (* Can be purchased at: http://www.dining-downunder.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=4 )
- 1. Preheat the oven to 180u0b0C.
- 2. Using a thick bottomed pan melt the butter slowly.
- 3. In a separate pan warm the milk, bay leaf, nutmeg and onion gently.
- 4. Add the flour to the butter and cook out for about 1 minute, stirring.
- 5. Add the soft goats cheese and stir until it combines.
- 6. Add the egg yolks.
- 7. Whip the egg whites in an electric mixer, a good tip when working with egg whites is to wipe the bowl out with a lemon half, and start the egg whites off slowly; this helps them to take in more air, then turn the speed to full until the whites are firm.
- 8. Add the milk to the cheese mixture and cook out, stirring until all the lumps have gone; season with the Alpine Pepper and then take the pan off the heat so that it cools down.
- 9. Butter and flour six moulds.
- 10. Fold in one spoonful of the whipped egg whites at a time, so that you don't lose the aeration, be gentle and the result will be great.
- 11. Spoon the mixture into the moulds and place in a deep tray; add boiling water 3/4 way up the sides of the moulds.
- 12. Put them in the pre heated oven for about twenty minutes; remove and allow to cool.
