I had to think really hard about what to post this week. We were on spring break last week, which meant the wee ones and I were running around most of last week. I did a lot of fresh, quick cooking, and many things we made, I've already posted.
Then I had my brilliant idea (ok, so brilliant might be stretching it just a bit). This is one of the super easy dishes that sounds much harder than it is. And it looks fancy, so people think you put a lot of work into it - the perfect kind of recipe!
Oh, wait. Is there a holiday weekend coming up that typically involves a lot of cooking of foods where you want people to think you've been slaving over a hot stove? Why yes, I do believe there is. Perfect again.
Spinach Souffle
Ingredients:
1/2 c fresh grated Parmeasan cheese
2 10oz boxes chopped spinach, thawed
3 T butter
3 T flour
1/2 c finely chopped onion
1 c cream
1/2 c spinach juice (reserved from when draining the frozen spinach)
1 t salt
1/2 t pepper
1/2 t nutmeg, fresh grated
1 1/2 c mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses
4 eggs
Directions:
Grease a medium to large baking bowl (a la my ceramic souffle dish). Use the fresh grated cheese to line the greased bowl like you'd flour a cake pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Cook and drain the spinach, saving the juice. Melt the butter into a saucepan, and saute the onions in the butter. Add the flour, and stir while cooking for 2-3 minutes.
Add the spinach and onion mixture to a large bowl and gently stir.
In a separate bowl, beat the four eggs.
Add the cream, spinach juice, salt, pepper, nutmeg, cheeses, and eggs to the large bowl and fold to combine.
Place the mixture into a baking dish. Place the baking dish into a pan of water. Cook for 40 minutes, checking carefully after 30 minutes.

Honestly? I have never made a souffle but I should and now I have a recipe to try. Meatless too!! I love it :) Thanks for linking up this week, nice to have you along.
This sounds like a winning dish for my gang! I think I may have to add it to my Easter menu. Thanks!
Oh, yum! I love spinach. This sounds delish!
I have a similar recipe, and it's always a huge hit! You're right---it looks like it takes a lot of work, but it's actually pretty easy and yummy, too.
Sounds wonderful!!
Oh, this looks terrific! I used to get a spinach souffle from Stouffer's that I loved - I wonder if this is similar. I can't wait to try it. Thanks!
Laura - You've never made a souffle really? That surprises me; they're really easy. And now I have a taste for my cheese souffle with my yummy side salad. Hmmmm.
Kristen - I'm debating bringing it to the Easter dinner where I was told to bring "nothing." And now I'm hungry again!
Sherry - So do I. And even Mister Man likes it when it's cut up a bit - mmmm!
Pat - Those are absolutely my favorite recipes. I look like a hero for doing something huge and really it wasn't bad at all ;) Is that wrong of me?
Together We Save - It is. Or at least *I* think it is!
Brenda - Yep, and somewhat sorta relatively healthy, too. Sorta.
Jaz - I haven't had the Stouffer's one before, but hey... it's worth a try, no?
Mmmmmm.....
That's about all I've got. You've rendered me speechless.
Yikes I've always wanted to try one but really no one is quite or light footed around here :)
Sounds delish!
Always looking for a new spinach recipe. Thanks Michelle!
MrsJenB - It's awfully yummy, but ... speechless is possibly a bit much :)
Alexis - You don't have to be quiet or lightfooted with souffles. They're not nearly as delicate as people make them out to be.
Kelly - It's a good one. I hope you enjoy it :)
