Why I Love This Recipe

You can very easily use any cheese that blows your hair back, instead of Cheddar in this recipe.


Ingredients You'll Need

10 oz package spinach (Thawed, and squeezed of excess water)
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup AP Flour
1 cup Whole Milk
1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
1/8 tsp Ground Black Pepper
1/8 tsp Dry Mustard
1 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar (Or Gruyere, Emmental, Havarti, Gouda)
4 egg yolks
5 egg whites
1/4 tsp Cream of Tarter
Finely grated Parmagiano-Reggiano


Directions

Preheat oven to 375.


Grease a 2 qt souffle dish with butter sprinkle with Parmagiano; This helps the souffle climb up the side of the dish.


In a small bowl, lightly beat egg yolks.


Melt butter in a medium sauce pan;


In a small bowl, combine flour, salt, mustard and pepper.


Add to melted butter and cook roux until golen brown.


Slowly add milk while whishing constantly, continue cooking while whisking until thick.
