This year for our Thanksgiving dinner I wanted to give our side dishes…ummm how you say ” une touche élégantes”, an elegant touch! What else has more elegance & is impressive as a French Souffle’. Yes a Souffle’. A light, fluffy baked dish made with egg yolks and beaten egg whites combined with various other ingredients and served as a main dish or sweetened as a dessert…or now a side dish! <br /> <br />I had heard of a cheese souffle’, so I decided to add the Grana Padano cheese in my Souffle’ recipe. I wanted to add a seasonal squash or pumpkin but decided to use a winter squash which is abundantly available at the markets these days. Roasted winter squash & dark amber pure maple syrup added a rich sweetness to the souffle’ which gave this souffle’ a unique earthy flavor. I also added spices like cinnamon & nutmeg for an extra depth of flavor.
