MY MAMA’S MAMA’S EASY FAUX SPINACH SOUFFLÉ (FAKE SOUFFLÉ)

         My mother loved to tell the story of a friend who, testing her first soufflé for doneness, plunged a broom straw into it to see if the middle was cooked, just as she was taught to do with cakes. You can imagine the rest.

1 kilo/2 big bunches fresh spinach or two packages frozen, steamed, drained well and chopped (steam only until wilted)

1 half of a large sweet onion, chopped fine

1 cup of rich sauce bechamel, seasoned with 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan and pinch of nutmeg

Juice of large lemon

2 large eggs

Salt and pepper

Pinch of espelette pepper

In a large bowl, mix everything, adding the eggs last.

Pour into a buttered soufflé dish and set in a bain marie (pan of hot water). Bake at 350F/180C for 20 minutes or until the soufflé feels firm when pressed lightly and the top is golden and shiny.

This soufflé holds up well as it is not as airy as a normal one and can be made in little timbales for individual servings.

If you wish to separate the eggs, add the yolks to the spinach and then whip and fold in the whites, no one will stop you, and the soufflé will be more of a classic soufflé
