Angel's Broccoli Souffle
- 12 cup flour
- 1 34 cups milk
- 1 34 tablespoons butter
- 4 egg yolks
- 4 egg whites
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 14 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets (or cauliflower)
- 2 cups grated cheese (I like cheddar)
- 3 slices bacon (can leave this out for vegetarian option)
- unseasoned breadcrumbs
- Place milk in a thick-bottomed saucepan and add flour.
- Stir briskly with a whisk until the flour is dissolved.
- Over low-medium heat continue stirring until the mixture thickens, then add the butter.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Add one egg yolk at a time and stir well between each.
- Cut broccoli into small florets.
- Add the broccoli, salt, and pepper to the milk and flour mixture.
- Whip the egg whites until you get very stiff peaks (you can turn the bowl upside down and they don't move).
- Gently fold them into the mixture.
- Do not stir or mix.
- This can deflate the egg whites.
- Butter the sides of a 2 liter (2 quart) baking dish.
- And coat with breadcrumbs.
- The pan can be round or square-ish and preferably glass or ceramic.
- Pour in the batter.
- Place in a preheated oven 175 C ( 350 F) and bake for 1 hour.
- Try and resist opening the oven door to avoid deflating the souffle.
