Asheville, North Carolina

Specialty Recipe

Gruyere Souffle

Ingredients

7 large eggs, separated, whites at room temperature

1-1/2 cups milk

6 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 cup thinly sliced scallion, including green

3 Tablespoons unsalted butter

3/4 pound Gruyere, grated (about 3-1/2 cups)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Heat oven to 350 degrees and lightly oil a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish.

In a bowl whisk together yolks and milk. Pour flour into another bowl and whisk in milk mixture in a slow stream.

In a large skillet, cook scallions in butter over moderately low heat until softened. Add custard mixture and bring to a boil over moderate temperature, whisking constantly (mixture will be very thick).

Add Gruyere and cook mixture, stirring, until cheese is just melted. Transfer to a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.

In another bowl beat egg whites with baking soda, powder, and salt until they hold soft peaks. Stir 1/3 of whites thoroughly into cheese mixture, then fold in remaining whites.

Pour mixture into baking dish and bake in upper third of oven for 25-30 minutes until it is puffed. Serve at once.
