Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 3 Fresh tomatoes (peeled, seeded, and diced)
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 Egg yolks
- 6 Egg whites
- 0.25 teaspoon Cream of tartar
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing)
- 2 tablespoons Breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 1.5-quart soufflé dish generously and coat the inside with breadcrumbs. This will help the soufflé rise evenly and give it a golden crust.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for about 1-2 minutes, until the mixture forms a smooth paste (roux).
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to create a thick, smooth béchamel sauce. Cook this for about 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously.
Add the tomato paste, diced fresh tomatoes, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir well to combine. Season the mixture with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. Once slightly cooled, whisk in the egg yolks one at a time. Set the base aside.
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat, as you want the egg whites to hold structure without becoming grainy.
Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the tomato mixture to lighten it, using a spatula. Then, carefully fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, making sure not to deflate the mixture.
Transfer the batter to the prepared soufflé dish, filling it about three-quarters full to allow room for the soufflé to rise.
Place the soufflé dish on a baking sheet (to catch any overflow) and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the soufflé is puffed and golden brown on top. Avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent it from collapsing.
Serve the soufflé immediately while it’s still hot and risen. Enjoy its light, airy texture and rich tomato flavor.
