How to Make Feta Cheese Souffles With Salad

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Butter 8 (4-ounce) ramekins and coat thoroughly with 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, tapping out excess and reserving the rest.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter over moderately low heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour.
  4. Cook the roux, whisking constantly, for 3 minutes until smooth and lightly golden.
  5. Gradually whisk in 2 cups whole milk in a thin stream.
  6. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly, then remove from heat.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup crumbled feta cheese, the milk mixture, 4 large egg yolks, 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped), 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped), and salt and pepper to taste.
  8. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 8 large egg whites until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  9. Gently fold about 1/3 of the egg whites into the cheese mixture to lighten it. Then, fold in the remaining egg whites gently but thoroughly.
  10. Fill each ramekin halfway with the soufflé mixture. Divide the remaining feta cheese evenly among the ramekins.
  11. Top with the remaining soufflé mixture and sprinkle with the reserved breadcrumbs.
  12. Place the ramekins in a large baking pan and add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins (bain-marie).
  13. Bake in the middle of the oven for 25 minutes, or until the soufflés are puffed and lightly golden.
  14. Remove from the oven and let stand in the pan for 15 minutes.
  15. Run a knife around the edge of each soufflé and carefully invert onto a baking sheet.
  16. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  17. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the soufflés are puffed and golden brown.
  18. Meanwhile, prepare your favorite salad (see suggestions below).
  19. Divide the salad among 8 plates and top each with a soufflé. Serve immediately.
