How to Make Egg Souffle
You will be whipping egg whites in a food processor with steel blade for a few seconds or until foamy, this will help with the lift of the souffles. So you need a food processor, if you don’t have a food processor use a blender or whip the egg whites in small bowl with hand whisk until foamy and white.
To get started, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Lightly butter each standard muffin pan or 8 ramekins with butter, set aside. If you decide to bake in a 9″ x 13″ casserole, butter generously or use cooking spray.
Place cottage cheese in bowl of food processor with steel blade, process until smooth. Pour cottage cheese in separate bowl, set aside. Add egg whites to processor, pulse until foamy, add next 5 ingredients, process to combine.
Combine egg mixture with cottage cheese mixture. Stir in remaining ingredients.
Pour mixture into pans 2/3 full. Place on baking sheet to bake in case of spill.
Bake 15-20 minutes or until edges are puffed and light brown. Egg soufflé will fall in center after cool. If baking in a 9 x 13″ casserole, bake 30 minutes.
Once baked, remove from oven and serve immediately. If your ramekin egg souffle shrinks a lot, which it can, just stack another cooked egg souffle over the top. Serve with fresh spinach leave and saute’d mushroom slice if desired.
