The Fallen Souffle is a creative twist on the classic French dish, which is known for its light, airy texture and delicate flavor. This version intentionally falls and has a more rustic appearance. The soufflé is made with egg yolks, goat cheese, and tarragon, which provide a rich and savory flavor. Shallots and breadcrumbs add a bit of crunch and texture to the dish. This fallen soufflé is perfect for a special breakfast or brunch and pairs well with a simple salad or fresh fruit.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2.Grease a 1 1/2-quart soufflé dish with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter.
3.Coat the inside of the dish with breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese.
4.Melt the remaining butter in a saucepan, then sauté the shallots over medium heat until they are softened.
5.Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
6.Gradually whisk in the milk until the sauce begins to thicken. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the sauce for another 5 minutes.
7.Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the egg yolks one at a time.
8.Crumble the goat cheese and add it to the sauce with the tarragon, salt, and pepper.
9.In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar together until they form stiff peaks.
10.Fold the egg whites gently into the sauce until just combined.
11.Pour the mixture into the prepared soufflé dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
12.Place the soufflé dish into a larger baking dish or roasting pan, then pour enough hot water into the larger dish to come halfway up the sides of the soufflé dish.
13.Bake the soufflé for 30 to 35 minutes, or until it is puffy and golden-brown.
14.Remove the soufflé from the oven and serve immediately while still hot.

PROS

The Fallen Souffle is a delicious twist on the classic French dish, and it is easier to make than a traditional soufflé.

It is light and airy, and the tangy goat cheese provides a nice contrast to the sweet shallots.

It can be served as a breakfast dish or as part of a larger brunch spread.

CONS

The texture of the soufflé is not as light and fluffy as a traditional soufflé, as it is intentionally made to collapse.

The dish is also high in fat and cholesterol due to the egg yolks, goat cheese, and butter.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While the Fallen Souffle is not a particularly healthy dish, it does contain some beneficial nutrients. Goat cheese is a good source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D, while tarragon has been used to aid digestion and reduce inflammation.
