Carrot Souffle
My family makes this as a nice side dish for the holidays.
Ingredients

- – 1 medium onion grated or finely diced
- – pinch of salt
- – 1 cup milk
- – 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- – 1/2 to 1 cup grated parmesan depending on preference
- – 3 eggs separated
Instructions
- Steam the carrots until soft. Once soft, mash and set aside.
- In a large saucepan on medium heat sauté the onion in the butter until soft and translucent. While the onion is cooking, separately whisk the milk, flour and egg yolks until combined.
- Reduce the heat to low and gently add the liquid mixture the pan with the onions while stirring or whisking. Add the grated cheese and continue stirring on low heat until the mixture thickens and coats the wooden spoon or spatula.
- Once thickened, remove from heat and add the mashed carrot. Set aside.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the carrot mixture be careful to preserve the egg whites airiness.
