Mélanie always offers you her recipes on Fridays on her Facebook page. For example, try the cauliflower soufflé, what a great idea! For this recipe you will need:
- 1 cauliflower from Mélanie
- 200g cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- 40g Gruyere cheese
- salt, pepper and nutmeg
Wash the cauliflower then steam it. Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Mix the cauliflower with the yolks and the fromage blanc. Season with salt and pepper and add the nutmeg and grated cheese.
Whip the egg whites until stiff and gently fold them into the cauliflower.
Butter your mold(s) and pour everything in.
Put in your preheated oven and cook for 25 to 30 minutes at 180°C. Do not open the oven door before the end of cooking, the soufflé will fall back.
