Twice Baked Mushroom Souffle'S
- 1 pound mushrooms, small dice (I used Crimini)
- 4 ounces butter (8 tablespoons)
- 2 cups onion, small dice
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 cup parsley, minced
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 5 egg whites
- 5 egg yolks
- 1 cup cream
- 1 cup Gruyere cheese grated, plus more for sprinkling on tops of souffle's
- Roast the mushrooms in a 300 degree oven until slightly dried and a lot of their moisture has sweated out. (about 20 minutes)
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter and saute' the onions until translucent. Add the parsley to the onions and saute' for a few minutes. Mix in the mushrooms (after you drain the liquid from the roasting pan). Remove from flame.
- Make a white sauce: Melt 6 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan and when it starts to foam, add the flour and whisk until mixed.
- Add the milk and keep whisking until the sauce thickens. Remove from the flame.
- Add 1 cup of the white sauce to the mushroom mixture and blend together.
- Stir the egg yolks into the mushroom mixture slowly to prevent them from cooking.
- Beat the egg whites until they are stiff and then slowly fold them into the mushroom mixture.
- Pour into eight 8 ounce ramekins that have been buttered. Put the ramekins in a large pan to fit, and fill to half way up the sides of the ramekins with hot water.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes, until the tops start to brown and the souffle's are set.
- Remove from the oven, cool slightly and remove from the ramekins. (I use a little rubber spatula to flip them cleanly out of the ramekins).
- Reheat the remaining white sauce, add 1 cup of cream and 1 cup of grated Gruyere cheese and whisk until blended.
- Put the souffle's in a large casserole dish and pour the white sauce over them. Sprinkle extra cheese over each little souffle' and bake in a 350 degree oven until the cheese is melted and the sauce is puffing away.
- Serve with a sprinkle of minced parsley.
