Goat Cheese Souffle with Thyme
Need Head to the store and pick up milk, mustard, salt and pepper, and a few other things to make it today. To use up the flour you could follow this main course with the Apple Tart with Caramel Sauce as a dessert.
Instructions
Butter a 1-quart souffl dish.
Add the Parmesan and turn the dish to coat it with the cheese.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the flour and cook, whisking, until blended.
Whisk in the milk, wine, mustard and anchovy paste and cook, whisking, until the sauce is smooth and thick, about 8 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the goat cheese and 1 teaspoon of the thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the egg yolks. Scrape the souffl mixture into a large bowl and press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface.
In a large stainless steel bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, fold one-third of the beaten whites into the souffl mixture; fold in the remaining whites until just a few streaks remain.
Gently scrape the mixture into the prepared dish.
Sprinkle the top with the Cheddar, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of thyme and some pepper.
Bake the souffl in the middle of the oven for about 25 minutes, or until nicely risen and browned on top.
Mixed Greens with Papaya.
Recommended wine: Bordeaux, Champagne, White Burgundy
Bordeaux, Champagne, and White Burgundy are my top picks for French. French wine is just as diverse as French food, but you rarely go wrong with champagne. If your meal calls for a white wine, you might also try a white burgundy. For a red, try a red bordeaux blend. One wine you could try is Chateau Larroque Bordeaux Superieur. It has 4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 17 dollars.
