directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use the initial amounts of butter and flour to grease and flour a souffle dish.
  • Cook the spinach according to the package instructions. In a strainer, press all possible liquid out of spinach. Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and cook the spinach over low heat for 5 more minutes to drive off any additional moisture. Remove spinach to mixing bowl.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan and stir in flour to make a roux. Add chicken stock and milk, beating constantly, to make a thick sauce. Add spinach and lemon juice to the saucepan.
  • Separate 5 eggs. Mix the yolks into the spinach mixture and set aside. Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks but are not "dry." Take a heaping serving spoon of the egg whites and fold into spinach mixture just until combined. Fold the spinach mixture gently into the egg whites and put the mixture in the souffle dish.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes (souffle should appear cooked and not wobble when the souffle dish is shaken slightly).

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>My name is Patricia Hamon Fulda and you can find me on Facebook (click on profile in the upper left hand corner of the page).</p> <p>I am an enthusiastic cook who started to cook when I was 10 years old (I'm 69 now). My entire family cooked and when I got married, at age 20, I knew how to make three recipes: Fish in Sweet Sour Sauce, Chicken Paprika, and Croissants, from scratch (I used <span style=text-decoration: underline;>Tante Marie's French Cooking</span>; Julia Child didn't exist).</p> <p>If you are using herbs and spices in your cooking I heartily recommend MySpiceSage.com. They have wholesale prices for small quantities such as 1oz., usually around $3.00 to $3.75, which is enough to have on hand, or 4 oz., which is enough for any human purpose. They have free shipping and free return shipping if you aren't completely satisfied. They also have an incredible number of spices, from North Africa to France to India (I recently counted seven masalas).</p> <p>Happy eating!&nbsp;</p>
