| Cheese Souffle - Not a good picture! |
"I thought it would be good." That's what my husband had to say about my souffle! Where do you go from there? We're visiting family in Memphis so I did my French Friday cooking in my sister-in-law's kitchen. I thought I would wow her and my niece and my mother-in-law with my cooking skills. Thankfully, my niece's boyfriend, Jeff was also there. He was the only one who liked it. Thank you Jeff!
Jeff felt Frenchiefied! I've decided Jeff's a keeper. I'm not sure about the rest of them:)
The recipe is good. Maybe I needed a stronger cheese. I used Emmentaler. I think the souffle was good. You can see it had good rise! Maybe if I'd served it with a nice salad for lunch. Maybe we needed more wine. They wondered if sugar would help....
It was a beautiful evening in Memphis. The redbuds and dogwoods are in bloom. A few of the azaleas too. Its good to have time with family. Next time I'll make them hamburgers!
Maybe the souffle was more appreciated in other
French Friday kitchens.
I didn't realize that you guys were in Memphis! Tell everyone I said hello! Have fun!

ReplyDeleteI think your souffle is gorgeous and I bet it tasted delicious! I made mine with emmentaler, too and thought it could use a stronger cheese next time. My husband and I both really enjoyed it!
I'm thinking the souffle would have more flavor with a stronger cheese. I'm going to try bleu next time.
ReplyDeleteYour souffle looks perfect. I admit that I added extra flavors and glad I did, but what's not to like? Yes, it probably needs a side like a salad, but they all should have been impressed...just being around all those beautiful flowers would have made a lovely setting for this dish...it all sounds elegant to me.
ReplyDeleteYour souffle looks gorgeous. Anyone frenchified is a keeper ;)
ReplyDeleteYour souffle looks great Lola! However, as you found with your souffle, this is not my favourite thing in the world.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks perfect. I definitely have those meals where the efforts weren't quite as appreciated as I would have liked. When that happens, there is a bit of a joke in our family where I tell whoever didn't like dinner that "you USED to be my daughter: :-)
ReplyDeleteI think your souffle looks wonderful, Guyla. I think souffle may be overrated in general because they're touted as something difficult to make - they are, but not terribly. I'm not a huge fan of eggs, but I'm glad you found an appreciative audience!
ReplyDeleteGayla, Long live Jeff. More wine may have been needed. I used gruyère and loved the result. I think your soufflé looked gorgeous. That's a thought. The souffle is so touted that our expectations may be too high. Good for you for making this in a strange kitchen. Mary Hirsch

It looks lovely! I'm glad you had one person on your side at the table. I used an aged Irish cheddar in mine and the flavour was fantastic, so I think going for a stronger cheese is a good idea. Someone else suggested bacon or ham, too.
ReplyDelete"I thought it would be good"!!? Ouch, that hurts. Maybe he's just not a souffle person. If real men don't eat quiche, they probably really balk at souffles.
ReplyDeleteAfter making this one, I think souffles should be of the sweet variety. Looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour souffle looks great! I'm sorry only one family member enjoyed it - he definitely sounds like a keeper.
ReplyDeleteBoo on them! It looks great. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great, Guyla! Your family's loss. I think this was a good recipe.
