directions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease 4 round ramekins with cooking spray and place on a baking sheet, set aside.
  • Set a saucepan over medium heat with the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 30 seconds. Whisk in the milk and cook, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the spinach artichoke dip, eggs, the cooled milk sauce, Monterey jack cheese, Romano cheese, garlic, pepper flakes and hot sauce until well combined.
  • Unwrap the puff pastry and cut the sheet into four squares. Place a square in each ramekin, pressing it down onto the bottom and up the sides of each ramekin. Divide the soufflé mixture between the ramekins.
  • Bake until puffed up and deep golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Questions & Replies

  1. Could I press the puff pastry into a 13x9 pan and bake it as a cassarole instead of individual ramekins?
     
  2. Can the Panera's spinach artichoke souffle be frozen?
     
  3. Cold ricotta cheese be substituted for montero jack cheese. Thanks for your help.

Reviews

  1. I followed recipe to the letter, and very pleased with the results. My tweaks for next time would be more salt when making the rue, and add a tablespoon of Italian dressing to the egg batter to increase the seasoning level. Definitely a recipe worthy for company.
     
  2. Easy, perfect. I have made this twice and a hit every time.
     
  3. This was 99.9% accurate! Not sure why it's not spot on but it is really close to the same taste as Panera's version. Still definitely worth making if you like Panera's Spinach Artichoke Soufflé. Thanks, Jonathan!
