Brie and Rosemary Soufflé OR Frenchie Poofters


2tbl Butter
2tbl Flour
1/4c Milk
1/3lb Brie, rind removed and torn into small pieces
Salt
3 Eggs, separated
Fresh Rosemary

People tend to be intimidated by any dish that sounds remotely French but once you develop the proper techniques French cuisine is as easy as your mom. It also helps to give the dishes alternate names, e.g. Frenchie Poofters, Frenchie Stink Bombs, etc.

Melt the butter over medium to medium low heat. Add the flour and continuously stir for a minute or two until the flour smell has been replaced by a nutty smell. While stirring the roux, drizzle in the milk until fully incorporated, remove from heat, salt it, and stir in the brie until melted. Add the egg yolks one at a time. Do not add the next yolk until the previous one has completely merged with the mixture. This is fucking essential so don't think you can just stir them all in at once like goddamn jackass. Set the mixture aside and beat the living shit out of the egg whites until stiff peaks form. You can use an electric mixer like a total sissy but real men make their soufflé by hand. Gradually fold the egg whites into the mixture until they have become one. Pour into two buttered 7oz ramekins, top them with a little fresh rosemary, place them on a baking sheet, and put those motherfuckers in a 375 degree oven for 27-28 minutes. Do not open the oven door to check on them like a dumbass. Use the light and window.

The soufflé will deflate about 4 nanoseconds after you take it out of the oven so serve immediately. Soufflé waits for no one. Eat it.

Those look fraking amazing! Can I make them cheeseless?

Cooking Asshole said...

Totally. Just use the base recipe. You can even make them with sugar, fruit, and/or chocolate.

You should have a recipe naming contest.

You should steal something else from your neighbor's yard and cook with it, IE cannabis. I'd love to see you cook something with a little THC.

"Videotaping this crime spree was the best idea we ever had!"

As soon as I saw your picture of a muffin with grass baked into it, I knew the fucking French had something to do with it. And sure enough! you call it Frenchie Poofters. Well, isn't that SPECIAL!!?
What is it with your fascination with those dickheads? They don't know how to talk and they certainly can't spell. They use way, way too many vowels, and they use so many consonants that they don't pronounce half of them. Have you ever heard a Frenchman holler something from a distance? All you hear is "Awooaareauuuu". Great language.
