Spare eggs? Then how about making a souffle


Spinach Souffle
1 oz Butter
1 oz Flour
some Milk
4 oz Cheese
1 tsp grain Mustard (or, for a change, some nutmeg)
Pepper
cooked Spinach, chopped
Breadcrumbs

  1. Grease deep dish, sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Turn on oven to 200C (Gas 6 now I have a gas oven).
  2. Melt butter, add flour and cook.
  3. Add enough milk to make a very thick sauce.
  4. Remove from heat and cool a little.
  5. Add egg yolks.
  6. Beat egg white until soft peak stage.
  7. Fold into sauce mixture with a metal spoon.
  8. Add chopped spinach and seasoning.
  9. Layer half of mixture into a deep dish, then a layer of cheese, then rest of souffle mixture.
  10. Cook about 40 minutes and serve immediately, while it still looks impressive.
And, for a change, here's a mushroom souffle:
