Choppin’ Broc-Co-Lay Souffle´
This dish happened by mistake. And the title was inspired by a funny SNL skit that cracks me up every time. Here’s an excerpt of the song by Dana Carvey with some fun animation. Choppin’ Bro CO Lay — It’s funny stuff!
I was attempting to make my Aunt Barbara’s Spinach Souffle´. She’s been making it every Christmas for years. My sister and I always look forward to gobbling it down. And since I recently learned how simple the recipe is, I wanted to make it immediately.
But it appears I wasn’t paying enough attention at the grocery store, because I ended up with (3) blocks of frozen chopped Broccoli, instead of frozen chopped Spinach. Since I had the rest of the ingredients, I made the recipe with the Broccoli and added some Panko Breadcrumbs on top.
The Broc-Co-Lay Souffle´ was okay tasting, but the recipe is a lot better with Spinach, and no Panko Breadcrumbs are needed. Also, it was a bit curdled looking when made with Broccoli, which isn’t attractive in a Souffle´, Gratin or similar. I won’t be making it with Broccoli again.
Aunt Barbara’s Spinach Souffle´ Recipe:
3 10oz. Frozen Chopped Spinach, thawed and drained
[It’s made with Broccoli above and Spinach below – YEAH]
1 16oz. Sour Cream
1 Envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix
Mix all ingredients together and bake in the oven at 350° for 35-40 minutes.
Recipe shown here with Broccoli and Panko Breadcrumbs.
And here, as it’s supposed to be made with Spinach. Yum. Thanks for the recipe Aunt B.
FYI: These are the Panko Breadcrumbs I’ve been using in recipes. They continue to stay fresh and crispy each time I open the container.
