How
To Make Royal Broccoli Souffle :
Let
egg whites stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Grease a 1-1/2-qt. souffle
dish; dust lightly with flour.
Preheat
oven to 350°. Microwave broccoli and water, covered, on high until broccoli is
tender, 2-3 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes; drain. Pulse broccoli in a food
processor until blended.
In
a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cayenne
pepper until smooth. Gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil, stirring
constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a large
bowl; stir in cheese, mustard, salt, pepper and broccoli. Whisk a small amount
of hot mixture into egg yolk; return all to bowl, whisking constantly. Cool
slightly.
In
another bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff but not dry.
With a rubber spatula, gently stir a fourth of the egg whites into broccoli
mixture until no white streaks remain. Fold in remaining egg whites. Transfer
to prepared dish. Bake until top is puffed and center appears set, 30-35
minutes. Serve immediately.
