Grand Marnier Souffle

"This recipe comes from Mr. Breakfast and is one of the few I have found that uses fewer yolks than whites. The result is a lighter, fluffier souffle. Impress the family with this one!"

directions

  • Grease a 2 quart souffle dish lightly and sprinkle it with sugar. Cut a strip of wax paper or foil about 30 inches long and 6 inches wide -- long enough to overlap itself by at least 2 inches when wrapped around the dish. Fold it in half lengthwise, then grease one side with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Tie the paper as a collar around the souffle dish, sugared side in, so that it extends at least 2 inches above the dish. Secure the ends of collar with paper clips or straight pins.
  • Melt butter over low heat in saucepan -- don't let it brown. Remove from heat, add flour and salt and mix until smooth. Add the milk, a little at a time, stirring constantly. Return to heat, stirring constantly, untilthickened and smooth. This is best done with a wire whisk. Remove from heat. Separate the eggs. Set egg whites aside. Beat the 5 egg yolks until thick. Add hot cream sauce, a small amount at a time, beating constantly until all the sauce has been added and mixture is a creamy custard. Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Beat all eight egg whites until soft peaks form.
  • when the beater is lifted gently. Add sugar gradually, beating constantly until a stiff meringue is formed. Gradually beat in lemon juice, a few drops at a time. Stir the lemon rind and Grand Marnier into the egg mixture, stirring well. Add all at once to egg whites, folding thoroughly using quick, light strokes. Pour into the souffle dish and set dish in a pan containing one inch of hot water.
  • Bake for one hour.
  • Remove from oven and carefully remove paper collar. Serve at once, dishing it out with a large spoon.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I moved to Seattle from Alaska in August of 2001. I am a nutrition graduate from Bastyr Naturopathic University and am a personal trainer and holistic health counselor (receiving additional education from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition). I have opened up a practice in the Seattle area and love to assist people in meeting their health, fitness, and nutrition goals in person and by phone. I also love trying new recipes and testing them out of friends and family, but have missed cooking a great deal while transitioning from a student to a business owner. I'm hoping to have more time to experiment in the kitchen for both personal and business reasons! I have successfully three marathons in the last 3 years - running has been a great stress release for me and has been a wonderful way to make friends here. I'm passionate about sustainable food, running, nutrition, individual and world peace, turtles, and my friends. I have a strong dislike for cold weather and violence. If I had a month off and enough cash to do so, I would travel to Costa Rica and explore as much of the land there that I could get my hands on (then buy property for a wellness center)! If I had a month off with no money, I'd focus on my running, trying new recipes, deepening existing friendships and sleeping in! You may know me on this site as VeganRunner, but I am no longer maintaining a vegan lifestyle.
