Soufflé is an invention of French cuisine. Translated, the word soufflé means “airy”. What explains the light, cloud-like consistency of this dish? Egg whites. In principle, making a soufflé is quite simple. First, the yolks are ground with some kind of base, and then protein foam is mixed into them. And to protect yourself from salmonella, which can lurk in raw eggs, the soufflé is baked. During heat treatment, the proteins increase in volume and harden into foam. This “airiness” gave the type of dish its name. In this article we will tell the story of the appearance of soufflé. We will also give you some simple recipes for preparing this dish.
Soufflé - general principles of preparation
When we hear the word “soufflé,” we imagine some kind of dish with a delicate consistency. And it’s no coincidence, because the French word souffle translates as “light touch.” If you think that soufflé can be exclusively dessert, then after reading the recipes below, you will understand that you were mistaken. By and large, you can make a soufflé from any product - fish, poultry, meat, vegetables, fruits. And, of course, there are plenty of soufflé creams or soufflé cakes. The main component of the soufflé is eggs, or rather, egg whites whipped into a strong foam. Grind meat, vegetables or fruits, add protein foam, heat process - and the soufflé is ready!
Soufflé is an ideal food option for children. It is known that there are no more discerning gourmets than kids. “I don’t like onions, I don’t eat meat, I don’t need fish!” If you prepare any dish in the form of a delicate souffle, then even a capricious taster will eat every last spoon. However, the soufflé will also please adults, because such a dish is much more unusual than, for example, just chicken or cottage cheese.
Recipe 1: Curd soufflé
If you want to turn ordinary cottage cheese into a work of culinary art, then there is nothing easier than making unsweetened cottage cheese soufflé. Cottage cheese is very useful for both children and adults, for the reason that it contains a lot of healthy and necessary protein. For soufflé, it is best to use homemade cottage cheese of medium fat content (up to 9%). You can, of course, take a fattier product, but then the dish will turn out to be a little heavy for the stomach. Is it possible to buy store-bought cottage cheese for soufflé? It is possible, but not for every brand. First of all, pay attention to the label. It’s not suitable for curd soufflé - “curd product” - a decent amount of soy is added. In addition, many manufacturers sin by adding powdered milk to dairy products. A cottage cheese soufflé made from such pseudo-cottage cheese will not work, even if you follow all the proportions and cooking rules.
Required ingredients:
- Cottage cheese (low-fat) 300 grams
- 3 medium sized eggs
- Seasonings
Cooking method:
- Carefully separate the yolks from the whites. Place the whites in the refrigerator for a while.
- Using a blender, combine the cottage cheese and yolks, add salt, pepper or your favorite seasonings. In such a soufflé it would also be appropriate to use chopped herbs, which can be introduced at this stage.
- Remove the whites from the refrigerator. Beat them for about 6 minutes at medium speed, adding a little salt. When instead of proteins you get a strong shiny foam, then you can add them to the cottage cheese.
- First add half of the whites into the curd mass, stir with a spatula until smooth. Add the remaining whites and mix slowly.
- Turn on the oven to warm up to 180 degrees.
- Take a soufflé mold (or molds), grease each one with butter and spoon the curd mixture into the pan.
- As soon as you put the soufflé in the oven, you need to increase the oven temperature to 240 degrees. Bake the dish for about twenty minutes. Attention! During cooking, do not open the oven door under any circumstances, otherwise the soufflé will fall off.
- In twenty minutes the soufflé is ready. Serve it immediately, otherwise it will lose its shape.
Recipe 2: Curd soufflé with apple
Today, more than a hundred variations of the preparation of cottage cheese soufflé are known, including with semolina and butter. These products “weight” the delicate soufflé, making it look more like a casserole. If you prepare a soufflé according to this recipe, you will end up with a weightless dessert that will melt in your mouth like a cloud. This soufflé can even be prepared in the microwave, and can then be stored in the refrigerator for two to three days.
Required ingredients:
- Low-fat cottage cheese 300 grams
- Apple 2 pieces (sweet variety)
- Egg 2 pieces
- Powdered sugar 100 grams
Cooking method:
- Peel and core the apple and puree it in a blender. Squeeze out the juice.
- Break the eggs, separate the yolks from the whites.
- Add cottage cheese and egg yolk to the apple, mix everything into a homogeneous mass.
- Beat the egg whites with a mixer or blender along with powdered sugar. It is better to sift the powdered sugar through a sieve first, so the foam will be denser. Introduce the powder into the protein slowly, in a thin stream.
- When the protein foam is ready, gradually add it to the curd mixture.
- Grease a soufflé dish with oil and place the resulting mass there.
- If you are making the soufflé in the oven, then place the pan in a preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes. This soufflé will not rise or fall. If you want to cook the soufflé in the microwave, then ten minutes of preparation will be enough.
What else is known about soufflé?
In terms of composition, sweets such as marshmallows, marshmallows and marshmallows can be considered relatives of soufflé. Their origins are still closely connected with experiments, the French and egg whites.
Interestingly, marshmallow was originally prepared from the root of a medicinal plant - marshmallow, whose name in English sounds like marshmallow. To remove the bitterness, honey was added to it, then sugar. Experimenters by nature, French chefs added their favorite fluffy whipped egg whites to the sweetness.
Over time, marshmallow was completely removed from the recipe, leaving only the name marshmallow as a reminder of its origin.
Another delicacy similar to soufflé is marshmallows. His story began in Rus'. Oddly enough, the ancestor of marshmallow is Russian marshmallow, which was originally made from whipped Antonov apples. Then, to give them a beautiful white color, they began to mix in egg whites. But then, again, things could not have happened without the French. Trying to repeat the preparation of marshmallows, as if out of habit, they beat the whites of chicken eggs, eventually obtaining a completely new type of sweetness.
The product was named after the ancient Greek god of wind - Zephyr
Recipe 3: Meat soufflé
You can safely prepare this dish if you follow a healthy lifestyle. After all, we are used to eating meat in the form of chops or cutlets, which is in no way associated with “proper food.” At the same time, red meat is extremely healthy and important for both the female and male bodies. Meat is rich in proteins and essential amino acids. If you prepare a meat soufflé from lean meat, you will create a tasty and healthy, almost dietary dish. For this recipe you will need steamed pork, low-fat cream and, of course, a chicken egg.
Required ingredients:
- Meat (lean pork or beef) 400 grams
- Cream (low-fat) 200 ml
- Milk (fat content 3.2%) 200 ml
- Medium size chicken egg 2 eggs
- Seasonings
Cooking method:
- Break the egg, separate the yolks from the whites. Place the whites in the refrigerator.
- Steam the meat. Cool and cut it into cubes. Place the meat pieces in a blender and grind it. Add milk, cream, egg yolks, and seasoning to the bowl with the meat. Beat everything again with a blender.
- Beat the chilled whites with a mixer until thick and shiny foam. Add a pinch of salt to the whites.
- Add half of the whites to the meat puree and mix with a spoon.
- Add the rest of the protein foam to the mixture, stir everything until smooth.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Place the soufflé in a greased mold (or molds) and bake for about 20 minutes. Do not open the oven at this time.

Making a chocolate treat
Pour the milk into a small non-stick saucepan. Add butter. Place the container over low heat and bring to a boil. Cool the milk to 50-60 degrees.
Separate the whites from the yolks. Set the first ones aside - they will be needed a little later. Place the yolks in a deep container, add sugar and flour to them and mix the mixture thoroughly with a whisk. Pour in a few tablespoons of warm milk. Mix all ingredients again until smooth.
Pour all the milk into the egg mixture in a thin stream. During this process, the mixture must be stirred regularly with a whisk to ensure it is homogeneous.
Divide the chocolate into two equal parts. Break one of them into squares, the second into very small pieces.
Pour the resulting mass into a small saucepan and then place over low heat. Cook, stirring regularly, until the mixture thickens. Add the chocolate squares and wait until they are completely dissolved, then pour in the vanilla extract (vanillin). Remove the container from the heat and transfer its contents to a deep bowl. Let it cool a little, and at this time start preparing the proteins - they need to be beaten to the state of stable peaks.
Carefully fold the protein foam into the milk-egg mixture. Add small pieces of chocolate and stir the mixture with a whisk. This must be done carefully, moving from bottom to top. Otherwise, the whites may fall off and the soufflé will not rise.
Grease portioned dessert molds with butter and sprinkle with granulated sugar, then evenly distribute the chocolate mixture over them. Place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 30 minutes.
Serve hot with a cup of aromatic coffee.

How to cook “Classic soufflé”
Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Eggs, as for sponge cakes, should only be from the refrigerator, as cold as possible.
Melt the butter, add flour to it.
Add sugar or powdered sugar, vanilla sugar and mix everything well. Bring the resulting mixture to a boil and remove from heat. I prefer to do this in a water bath.
Separate the yolks from the whites. Whisk the yolks until they lighten and add to the milk mixture, stirring.
Separately, in a dry and clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form and add to the prepared mixture. As carefully as possible, so as not to add to the mixture, mix everything into a homogeneous mass.
Transfer the soufflé dough into molds and place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20 minutes. Please note: fill the molds approximately 2/3 of their volume, since the soufflé will increase in volume quite significantly.
After the soufflé is ready, turn off the oven, but do not take the soufflé out; it will immediately fall due to a sharp temperature change. Keep it in the oven for another 10-15 minutes and then take it out.

Soufflé - secrets and useful tips from the best chefs
- Proteins must be introduced into the mixture of other components carefully, in two steps. First, add half the foam, mix with other ingredients, then add the remaining ingredients to the mixture.
- To beat the soufflé, be sure to use a mixer or blender, since it will not be possible to beat the whites with your hands and a whisk to a dense foam.
- If you are making the soufflé as a main dish, add a little salt to the whites. For desserts, it is better to use powdered sugar instead of sugar.

Soufflé as a cream for a cake
At the end of the nineteenth century, “brulee” was invented. This is not ice cream at all, but a cream soufflé baked to a caramel color. They can be used to decorate a cake or serve as an independent dessert. And if you don’t bake the sugar onto the caramel, you’ll get an airy white soufflé. A pack of gelatin should be filled with warm milk (not a full glass), and then heated in a water bath. Mix three hundred and sixty grams of store-bought sour cream with 140 g of powdered sugar and a pinch of vanillin. Beat for about ten minutes. Pour in cooled milk with gelatin. Now let's start finishing. We cut three types of multi-colored jelly into small pieces. You can make it yourself or use store-bought marmalade. Add jelly to the mixture. Stir and put in the refrigerator.
