Smoked Salmon Souffle

Submitted by twissis

"DH & I love salmon (fresh & smoked) & I have a cookbook devoted to it. This is the 2nd of 2 recipes I found at justsmokedsalmon.com & Pat Dazis of Charlotte, N.C. was acknowledged. Times & serving sizes have been estimated. IMO this recipe will serve 6-8 as a starter or 3 as a main course. Enjoy!"

Very good! I did not add the salt and I'm very happy about it because my souffle was very salty. Perhaps is was the kind of smoked salmon I bought. I agree with twissis about the servings,6-8 as a starter. I don't think I would have it as a main course. I will definitely make the souffle again but I would add some heavy cream to make it smoother and less salty. I might need to add some extra whipped egg whites. Would love to try the same recipe with smoked trout. Thank you twissis. Great PAC choice.
