This simple souffle bursts with flavor. The crispy topping of cheese hides a creamy layer of turkey underneath. If I don't have turkey on hand, I use chicken instead. —Sharon Amidon, Guthrie, Oklahoma

Ingredients

  • 6 Eggland’s Best Eggs (large)
  • ¼ cup butter, cubed
  • 1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups 2% milk
  • 3 cups cubed cooked turkey breast

SOUFFLE LAYER:

  • 1/3 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/2 cups 2% milk
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325°F.

Separate eggs and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Grease a 2-1/2-qt. soufflé dish and lightly sprinkle with flour; set aside.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add the mushrooms and sauté until tender.

Stir in flour and salt until blended. Then gradually whisk in milk.

Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until thickened.

Add turkey and heat through. Then transfer to prepared dish.

For soufflé layer, in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter.

Add shallot and sauté until tender.

Stir in flour and salt until blended. Then gradually whisk in milk.

Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until thickened.

Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the spinach and cheese.

Stir a small amount of hot spinach mixture into egg yolks. Return all to the bowl, stirring constantly. Then allow to cool slightly.

In a large bowl with clean beaters, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.

With a spatula, stir a fourth of the egg whites into spinach mixture until no white streaks remain.

Fold in remaining egg whites until combined and pour over turkey layer.

Bake at 325° for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until the top is puffed and center appears set. Serve immediately.
