Recipe for chicory souffle in our easy vegetarian recipes collection.

Recipe ingredients

  • 3 heads chicory salt juice
  • 1 lemon
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese

How to make chicory souffle

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Trim the chicory and cook in salted water to which you have added the lemon juice. This will stop it discolouring.
  • When the chicory is tender, drain and set aside.
  • When it is cool, press the water out from between the leaves with your fingers.
  • Chop the chicory very finely.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a heavy bottomed pan.
  • Stir in the flour.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the milk.
  • Return from the heat and stir until the sauce has thickened.
  • Add the cheese and cook for a further minute.
  • Allow to cool.
  • When the sauce has cooled, mix in the chicory, then the egg yolks.
  • Whisk the whites until they form soft peaks and fold into the chicory mixture.
  • Spoon into a greased souffle dish and sprinkle the top with breadcrumbs.
  • Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes until lightly set, well risen and golden on top.
  • Serve this souffle with a strongly flavoured salad, such as watercress garnished with slivers of orange.
