Beet Bottomed Goat Cheese Souffle
- 1/2 pound beets oven roasted
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, extra-virgin
- 2 tablespoons flour, all-purpose
- 1 1/4 cups milk, low-fat
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon sage dried, or 1 tablespoon fresh
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup goat (chevre) cheese crumbled
- 3 large eggs separated
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- Roast and cool the beets in advance.
- Trim the tail and top of the beets.
- Season the beets still in their skins (salt, pepper and olive oil) and roast until tender (about 1 hour or so).
- Cool, peel while warm, slipping skins off under running water and slice about 1/2 inch thick (1 cm or so).
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Coat four 10-ounce ramekins (or a 2 to 2 1/2-quart souffle dish) with cooking spray and place them on a baking sheet.
- Line the bottom with the sliced beets.
- Set aside.
- Melt butter and oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Whisk in flour and cook, whisking, for 1 minute.
- Adjust heat as needed to prevent the mixture from getting too dark; it should be the color of caramel.
- Add milk, mustard, sage and salt and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and immediately whisk in goat cheese and 3 egg yolks until well combined.
- Transfer to a large bowl.
- Beat the 5 egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
- Add cream of tartar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently fold half of the whipped whites into the milk mixture.
- Gently fold in the remaining egg whites just until no white streaks remain.
- Transfer to the prepared ramekins or souffle dish.
- Bake until puffed, firm to the touch and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 160F, about 20 minutes in ramekins or 30 minutes in a souffle dish.
- Serve immediately.
