Fallen Goat Cheese Soufflés
Ingredients
2 oz butter, room temperature
3/4 cup panko
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2/3 cup whole milk
6 ounces soft goat cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large egg yolks
4 large egg whites
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Rub inside of six ramekins with half the butter. Coat with panko and tap out excess. Set aside.
Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour and cook 2 minutes, whisking constantly. Gradually whisk in milk. Increase heat to medium. Simmer mixture until very thick, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes.
Add half of goat cheese and whisk until melted and smooth. Mix in salt.
Whisk egg yolks in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in hot soufflé base. Cool 5 minutes.
Beat whites to soft peaks. Mix 1/4 of whites into soufflé base to lighten. Fold in remaining whites. Fold in remaining goat cheese.
Divide mixture among prepared soufflé dishes. Place in a ½ pan. Add enough hot water to pan to come halfway up sides of dishes. Bake soufflés until puffed and golden brown on top and softly set in center, about 20 minutes.
