Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 4 large egg yolks
- 4 large egg whites
- 0.5 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup cooked shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
- 2 medium scallions (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet (approximately 10x15 inches) with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment paper with olive oil or melted butter.
In a medium saucepan, melt the 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes until a smooth roux forms, taking care not to brown it.
Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth. Remove from heat and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Let the mixture cool slightly, then whisk in the egg yolks one at a time until fully incorporated. Stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese.
In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Spread the souffle mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the souffle is golden and set.
While the souffle bakes, prepare the shrimp filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped dill, and scallions. Mix until smooth. Fold in the chopped shrimp.
When the souffle is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Lay a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and carefully invert the souffle onto the towel, parchment paper side up. Gently peel off the parchment paper.
Spread the shrimp filling evenly over the surface of the souffle. Starting from one short edge, use the towel to help roll the souffle tightly into a log.
Transfer the rolled souffle seam-side down onto a serving platter. Slice into portions and serve warm or at room temperature.
