Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach chopped (or frozen, drained)
- 1/4 cup diced ham optional
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into squares to fit ramekins or a muffin tin. Press into molds, leaving a slight overhang.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until frothy.
- Add a layer of shredded Gruyère and cheddar cheese to the pastry-lined molds.
- Sprinkle spinach and diced ham (if using) on top of the cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, ensuring it doesn’t overflow.
- Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes or until soufflés are puffed and golden brown.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a side salad or coffee.
Notes
- Customization: Substitute ham with mushrooms or roasted bell peppers for a vegetarian version.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 325°F to retain the flaky texture.
