We have always loved soufflés, but I got tired of making the white sauce for them. One day I substituted condensed soup for the white sauce, and we all thought it was great. When we started watching our fat intake, I switched to the reduced-fat, reduced-sodium soup, reduced-fat cheese and just two egg yolks. —Diane Conrad, North Bend, Oregon

Spinach Pantry Souffle Recipe

Prep: 35 min. Bake: 30 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

35 30 65

Ingredients

6 egg whites
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) reduced-fat reduced-sodium condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2 egg yolks, beaten

Directions

Let egg whites stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Coat a 2-qt. soufflé dish with cooking spray and lightly sprinkle with Parmesan cheese; set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the soup, cheese blend and mustard; cook and stir over medium heat for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in spinach. Stir a small amount of soup mixture into egg yolks; return all to the bowl, stirring constantly.
In a small bowl with clean beaters, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. With a spatula, stir a fourth of the egg whites into spinach mixture until no white streaks remain. Fold in remaining egg whites until combined. Transfer to prepared dish.
Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until the top is puffed and center appears set. Serve immediately. Yield: 6 servings.
