Macaroni & Cheese Souffle
3 oz elbow macaroni
melted butter -- to coat
3 tbl bread crumbs
4 tbl butter
1 tsp nutmeg
1/3 c all-purpose flour
1 1/4 c milk
6 tbl grated cheddar cheese -- or Gruyere cheese
4 tbl grated parmesan cheese
salt & freshly ground black pepper -- to taste
3 eggs -- separated

Prepare macaroni according to pkg. Drain & set aside. Preheat oven to 300°.

Brush inside of 1 qt souffle dish w melted butter. Coat evenly w bread crumbs, shaking out any excess. Pour butter, nutmeg, flour & milk in saucepan & bring to boil slowly, whisking constantly until mixture is smooth & thick. Simmer a minute. Remove from heat & stir in cheeses until they melt. Season w salt & pepper & mix w macaroni.

Beat in egg yolks. In clean bowl, whisk egg whites until soft peaks form & spoon a quarter into sauce mixture, beating gently to loosen it up. Using lg metal spoon, carefully fold in rest of egg whites & transfer to prepared souffle dish.

Bake about 40-45 mins until souffle has risen & is golden brown. The center should be wobbly slightly & souffle should be lightly creamy inside.

Hi Mudbug.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention. While, I have not tried this recipe yet, it caught my interest & wanted to share it. Here's my interpretation (see what you think):

In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks & pour over macaroni/sauce mixture.

In another bowl, beat/whisk egg whites until soft peaks form & spoon a quarter into macaroni/sauce mixture; COMBINING gently to loosen it up. Using lg metal spoon, carefully fold in rest of egg whites & transfer to prepared souffle dish.

Sometimes it's easier for me to visualize the recipe, as I'm preparing it. Disappointed the author of the cookbook didn't make things more clear.

patw,

For some reason that I don't understand, the ampersand (&) is going through as &amp. Possibly the recipe was copied and pasted from mish's files??? It happens sometimes.
