Omelette Soufflee Au Marasquin

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

Prepare the batter

  1. In a basin, combine the eggs and salt, and whisk well for a few minutes.

  2. Add the marasquin and mix until fully incorporated.

Bake and serve

  1. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish.

  2. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15 minutes until puffed and golden.

  3. Serve immediately.

What each ingredient does

Eggs
Whisked eggs trap air and set into the light, puffed structure of the soufflé.
Marasquino
Adds a sweet, aromatic cherry flavour to the otherwise savoury-leaning eggs.

The step that matters

Whisking the eggs. Whisking for a few minutes traps air bubbles in the eggs. These bubbles expand in the oven and give the puffed texture, so under-whisked eggs will bake flat and dense.
