In his cookbook dedicated to dishes that parents can cook with their children (or grandparents with their grandchildren), culinary guru Jacques Pepin explains that this easy-to-make egg dish is neither a classic flan or a traditional souffle. In his “A Grandfather’s Lessons: In the Kitchen with Shorey” (Rux Martin, $30) he writes that it’s “a mixture of the two and could be called a ‘soufflan.’”
Serve this dish right out of the oven and it will be puffy. Or, cool to lukewarm and it will deflate. It’s delicious either way and makes a welcome centerpiece for brunch or a simple dinner along with a mixed green salad tossed with an herbaceous vinaigrette.
Jacques Pepin’s Easy ‘Soufflan’
Yield: 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
One 16-ounce container cottage cheese
One 8-ounce container whipped cream cheese
4 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives
1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
PROCEDURE
1. Adjust oven rack to middle position. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Place cottage cheese, cream cheese, eggs, salt and pepper in a food processor; process 10 to 15 seconds, or until smooth and well blended. Add chives and pulse once or twice to combine.
3. Rub a 4- to 5-cup gratin dish (oval baking dish) with olive oil. Add mixture from food processor. Place gratin dish on a rimmed baking sheet and bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until mixture is set. Serve immediately or allow to deflate and serve lukewarm.
