Equipment

  • oven
  • Floured surface

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup rich heavy cream
  • 4 thin slices of prosciutto
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry store-bought and thawed per package instructions
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 3 large eggs or 4 medium-sized eggs
  • 1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes well-drained

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

  • Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This step is crucial because you want your soufflés to bake evenly.

Step 2: Prepare the Puff Pastry

  • Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a floured surface. You’ll want to create a square that’s about 1/8 inch thick. Using a pastry cutter, divide it into four equal pieces. Gently press these into muffin tins or a soufflé dish.

Step 3: Mix the Eggs and Cream

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Make sure all the ingredients blend together smoothly.

Step 4: Add the Cheese and Fillings

  • Fold in your mozzarella cheese, prosciutto, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and rosemary into the egg mixture. The goal here is to distribute the flavors evenly.

Step 5: Fill the Pastry Shells

  • Pour the egg mixture into each pastry-lined muffin tin. Fill them generously but be cautious not to overfill. The soufflés will rise while baking.

Step 6: Top with Parmesan

  • Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top of each soufflé for that additional layer of flavor and a beautiful golden crust.

Step 7: Bake

  • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the tops are puffed and golden. The soufflés should wiggle slightly when you give them a gentle shake.

Step 8: Cool and Serve

  • Once baked, allow them to cool for a few minutes. They’ll hold their shape beautifully. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful experience.

Notes

  • Prepping ahead: You can prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Just pour it into the pastry when you’re ready to bake.
  • Puff pastry handling: Keep your pastry cold until just before baking for best results. The fluff will come from that cold air in the dough.
  • Cheese options: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Cheddar or feta can also work beautifully.
  • Fresh herbs: Using fresh herbs makes a big difference. Dried herbs can be a substitute, but the flavor won’t be as vibrant.
  • Storing leftovers: If you have any leftovers, refrigerate them in an airtight container. These soufflés reheat well in the oven.
