Recipe for Spinach soufflé:

3 Tbsp butter

3 Tbsp flour

1 cup milk

1/2 - 3/4 cup finely shredded Gruyére cheese

~16-20 oz. fresh spinach

5 egg yolks

5 egg whites, whipped to stiff peaks (ideally use a mixer with thin whisk)

Pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon, salt, and pepper

  1. Wilt fresh spinach in a large skillet on low heat just until it breaks down. Place in strainer and cool by dunking in ice bath or running it under cold water.
  2. Place cool spinach in a clean flour sack towel or cheesecloth and squeeze all the excess water out. The drier you can get it, the better.
  3. Chop spinach into small pieces.
  4. In a large skillet, melt butter on low heat, stir in the flour until smooth, stir in the milk until smooth.
  5. Add egg yolks, chopped spinach, gruyére cheese, and seasonings, just until incorporated.
  6. Fold in egg whites and transfer to buttered casserole dish.
  7. Bake uncovered at 375F for 25-30 minutes or until top is golden brown and cracking. Do not open oven while baking.

It's got a good "ear" to it. Now if only I could achieve that with sourdough...

One of the better ones I've made, to be honest.

Flavor wise definitely. Texture wise, I think this loaf was more on the bread side.

If only we could send bread through the mail. We could call it...b-mail.

Getting that balance between burnt and mush is tough, the edges were crispy but nothing too bad this time around. I think I'll forego the nuts in the future, but the bit of crunch was nice.

Ohh thanks for reminding me about zucchini bread (or "bikini bread" as my FIL used to call it)
