Spinach & Egg Soufflé in Potato Puff Cups
Potato puffs smashed into muffin cups and filled with a spinach, shiitake mushroom, and egg souffle make a great prep-ahead breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 bag Alexia® Organic Yukon Select Puffs (16 oz)
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 cup Shiitake Mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cup Baby Spinach Leaves
- 6 Eggs
- 2 tbsp Heavy Cream
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Black Pepper
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- Chives, minced
- Truffle Oil (optional)
Directions
-
Prepare the puffs according to package instructions.
-
Meanwhile, heat oil over medium heat in a small skillet and add mushrooms. Sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until spinach has wilted. Remove from heat and chop spinach into smaller pieces with kitchen scissors.
-
Separate egg whites and yolks into two separate bowls. Whip egg whites with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form (about 1 minute). Beat egg yolks for 30 seconds, then add in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper and beat for another 30 seconds. Stir in cooked vegetables and Parmesan.
-
With a spatula, fold egg whites into egg yolk mixture.
-
Liberally spray 8 muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray. Smash puffs on the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup to make a puff cup base for your souffle. Use 4-5 puffs for each muffin cup. Pour the egg mixture into the muffin cups (fill to about 3/4 full) and bake for about 15 minutes until tops are golden brown.
-
Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes, then gently run a knife around the edges of the ramekins and remove the spinach and egg soufflé cups. Sprinkle with chives and drizzle with truffle oil just before serving. Note: Lining each muffin tin with a strip of parchment paper (leaving a slight overhang) can help with sticking.
