Directions:
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 375º F. Grease 4, single serving round ramekins with butter. Divide 2 tbsp of the grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and 1 spoon of bread crumbs between them. Press down to create a ‘crust’ to coat the base and sides.
STEP 2
Over medium heat add the remaining butter, flour and milk into a saucepan stirring constantly with a small whisk until the mixture is thick and smooth. Remove from heat and add the remaining grated Parmigiano Reggiano, stirring until melted, add salt and pepper. Let cool slightly.
STEP 3
Stir the egg yolks into the cheese mixture. Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl, using an electric mixer or whisk until they hold shape like a meringue. Gently fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture with a spoon. Pour mixture into the ramekin.
STEP 4
Bake for 35 minutes or until risen and golden, serve immediately.
MAIN COURSE
Parmigiano Reggiano® Rupture Soufflé
A soufflé is a baked egg-based dish originating in France in the early eighteenth century. Combined with various other ingredients it can be served as a savory main dish or sweetened as a dessert.
The earliest mention of the soufflé is attributed to French master cook Vincent La Chapelle, in the early eighteenth century. Chef Michele Casadei Massari has prepared his modern take on the centuries old french tradition and graciously shared it with us.
Of course, his version has his classic Italian twist using our favorite ingredient: Parmigiano Reggiano.
Ingredients:
2 ½ tbsp unsalted butter
4 tbsp plain bread crumbs
½ c Parmigiano Reggiano cheese 24 or 36th Months finely grated
¼ c plain all-purpose flour
½ pint whole milk
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
4 eggs separated, room temperature
Chef Hints:
Chef Michele always recommends farm fresh eggs. To ensure your eggs are the freshest leave them out of the fridge for at least one hour. Wash them well under cold running water. Fill a bowl with about four inches of cold water and gently place your egg inside. Very fresh eggs will sink to the bottom and lay on their sides, if an egg stays at the bottom but stands on its small end, it’s still fine to eat; just not quite as fresh.
To make sure you are buying Parmigiano Reggiano PDO cheese, look for the distinctive dotted rind and make sure it is a product of Italy. For this recipe Chef Michele recommends using a Parmigiano Reggiano cheese aged 24 to 36 months.
