A ham and egg souffle with the Creole flavor combination of minced onion and green pepper.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup minced onion
  • 1/4 cup minced green bell pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 6 eggs, divided
  • 2 tablespoons diced pimiento
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked ham, ground

Preparation:

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, green pepper and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes. Add flour, stirring until smooth; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Gradually stir in milk; add salt and pepper. Cook until sauce is thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.

Beat egg yolks in a small bowl. Add a small amount (about 1/3 cup) of the hot sauce to the egg yolks, stirring quickly to blend; return egg yolk mixture to the sauce in the pan. Add pimiento and ham; stir gently.

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Stir about 1/2 cup whites into the ham mixture. Gently fold ham mixture into remaining whites. Turn mixture into an ungreased 2-quart sauté dish. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until firm.
Serves 6.
