Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 3 large eggs, separated
• 1/2 cup grated Gruyère cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

How to Make Savory Spinach and Herb Soufflé

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 1.5-quart soufflé dish with butter and set aside.
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
4. Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to stir until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
5. In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks, sautéed spinach, Gruyère cheese, parsley, chives, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
6. Slowly fold the milk mixture into the spinach mixture until well combined.
7. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the spinach mixture, being careful not to deflate them.
8. Pour the mixture into the prepared soufflé dish and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the soufflé is puffed and golden brown.
9. While the soufflé bakes, prepare the cream by whipping it until soft peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator.
10. Once baked, remove the soufflé from the oven and let it cool for a minute before serving. Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your egg whites are at room temperature for better volume.
• Avoid opening the oven door while baking to prevent the soufflé from collapsing.
• Use fresh herbs for a vibrant flavor, and feel free to experiment with your favorites.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the Gruyère cheese with feta or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
• Add cooked mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes for extra depth.
• For a lighter version, use low-fat milk and cream.

What to Serve With It

• A simple green salad with a lemon vinaigrette.
• Roasted cherry tomatoes for a pop of color.
• Crusty bread or a light baguette for a satisfying meal.
