Creamed Mushroom Puff

breezermom's Note:

I love mushrooms, and tend to gravitate towards recipes with them in it. This is basically a souffle-type dish, and is very creamy. The recipe originally came from the cookbook "The Company's Cookin" from the Rouse Company of Maryland.

• Total Time: 1 hrs
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 50 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• ½ lb fresh mushrooms , sliced
• ¼ cup butter , melted
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• ¼ cup whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese , fresh, grated
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs , separated
• 1 pinch ground red pepper

Directions:

1. Cook mushrooms in butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until tender. Add flour, stirring until blended. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
2. Gradually add milk and whipping cream; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Add cheese, salt, and pepper, stirring until cheese melts.
3. Beat egg yolks until thick and pale. Gradually stir beaten egg yolk into mushroom mixture.
4. Beat egg whites at high speed of an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold 1/4th of egg white into mushroom mixture. Then fold in remaining egg white.
5. Spoon into a buttered 1 quart souffle dish.
6. Bake at 375 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until puffed and set.

For us this turned out very floury (would look at only using a 1/4 cup of flour) but otherwise we enjoyed and are looking at making again but with a 1/4 cup flour. A different mushroom side to go with a b-b-q sirloin steak and sausage. Thank you breezermom, made for Everyday is a holiday.

I have never made a souffle like recipe before or have eaten one. WELLLLLLLLLLLLL this was an AWESOME recipe to start with. My DH loved it and sauted up leftovers for breakfast this morning LOL I don't have a large souffle dish so used 6 small ramekins and it turned out well but next time I will cut the mushrooms smaller This will be a keeper. Made for Everyday is a Holiday Tag Dec 2008 Thanks for a wonderful recipe
