Instructions
- Butter the mold and sprinkle with cheese. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Measure out your ingredients.
- Cook the shallots or onions for a moment in the butter. Add spinach and salt, and stir over moderately high heat for several minutes to evaporate as much moisture as possible from the spinach. Remove from heat.
- Prepare the soufflé sauce base. After the egg yolks have been beaten in, stir in the spinach. Correct seasoning.
- Beat the egg whites and salt until stiff. Stir one fourth of them into the sauce. Stir in all but a tablespoon of the cheese. Fold in the rest of the egg whites and turn mixture into prepared mold. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and set on a rack in the middle level of preheated oven. Turn heat down to 375 degrees and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
