Easy Breakfast “Soufflé” for Two

  • 2

Ingredients

  • 3 3 3 large eggs, separated*
  • 1 1 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/3 1/3 1/3 cup low-fat milk
  • 2 2 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 1 1 teaspoon butter
  • 2 2 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
  • 2 2 2 tablespoons low-sugar strawberry jam

Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on high until foamy. Add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until soft peaks form. Set aside.

2. In a separate bowl, place the egg yolks, milk, flour, and lemon zest and beat on medium speed until smooth (you can use the same beaters as the egg whites without washing them). With a rubber spatula, mix 1/3 of egg whites into the yolk mixture. Then gently fold in remaining whites. Melt butter in a 9 (or 8)-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook for 1 minute, or until the edges and bottom are lightly browned.

3. Transfer to oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until puffed and golden. While soufflé is baking, in a small microwave-safe bowl, heat jam with 1 tablespoon water on high for 20 seconds and stir. Remove souffle from oven, dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with jam.

*Marlene Says: For the fluffiest soufflé, use room-temperature eggs or run warm water over cold eggs to warm the whites before separating them. Also be sure there is no trace of egg yolk in the whites before beating them. When testing for “soft peaks” stage egg whites should lift to peaks, but then the tops quickly curl down when the whites in the bowl are lifted up with the beaters.
