Well done to Y10 Food and Nutrition GCSE class on making some tasty
Spinach & cheese soufflés in red peppers
recipe on next slide
Spinach & cheese soufflés in red peppers recipe
• Ingredients
4-6 red peppers
Olive oil
30g butter
30g plain flour
250 ml milk or fat-reduced cream
1 clove garlic
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 large eggs
200g spinach
125 g grated mozzarella cheese (or crumbled feta)
Method
Preheat the oven to gas mark 5 – 190 degrees.
Halve the peppers and scoop out the ribs and seeds. Rub each
half with a little olive oil and arrange on a baking sheet, the
cavities facing up. Bake the peppers in the oven, preheated to
190ºC, for 10 minutes or until they feel slightly soft to the touch.
Mince the garlic using a garlic press. Finely shop the spinach.
Separate the egg white from the yolks in two separate bowls.
Heat the butter in a small saucepan and add the flour. Stir well to
combine and cook for 30 seconds before adding the milk or
cream. Whisk over medium heat until thickened.
Remove from heat, stir in the garlic, season and allow to cool a
little then whisk the egg yolks into the sauce, one at a time.
Add the spinach and cheese to the sauce and mix well. Taste
and adjust seasoning.
Divide the mixture between the pre-baked peppers. Bake in the
oven for 15 – 20 minutes or until the soufflés are no longer
wobbly, but puffed and golden.
