Super Savory Souffle!

Finally got a chance to try out Mark Bittman's Savory Zucchini Souffle recipe tonight...here's the play-by-play


Simple ingredients...delicious results!


Shredded zucchini, minced garlic, and chopped onion


Saute the onions on medium-high heat with garlic...


Then add the zucchini and cook out most of the moisture (7-8 minutes) so that it looks like....


This.


Separate the eggs and beat the whites till you get semi-stiff peaks (semi-stiff...hah hah)...cream of tartar can help it hold peaks. (Note: Don't get any of the yolk in the whites or it won't work at all!)


Then in a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks together with the....


Cheese (Mozzarella, Gruyere, whatever you want actually...about a cup's worth)


Then add in the cooked veggies and mix (salt, pepper)


Add about 1/3 of the egg whites and mix thoroughly (Don't have to be gentle at this point)


Add in the rest of the egg whites and gently fold into mixture...don't work it too much...gotta keep it light!


Make sure you have buttered ramekins (buttered well...all up the sides)



Then bake in a pre-heated 325F oven for about 30-35 minutes...


And.....You Get This!!!


Must be eaten immediately as the poofiness goes away very quickly...very, very quickly...


Light, Cheesy, Crispy-on-the-Edges.....FTW!
