Directions
Twice-Baked Goat Cheese Souffle, Top recipe of 2000 in the San Francisco Chronicle, from Zax Tavern in Berkeley, California Serve it alone or surrounded by lightly dressed greens such as arugula It also shines with baby spinach dressed with an apple cider vinaigrette, apples, celery and fennel , Tried last night used a goats cheese spread with herbs Very easy Left it for an hour when it was done and reheated for 7 min would have preferred it slightly warmer Had left overs for lunch reheated nicely in microwave , The first time I made another version of these, I was very skeptical about them rising up a second time and was surprised when they did This version really works also, but has more goat cheese in them, which made them creamier tasting So I will be making this version from now on I served these as part of an appetizer dinner so didn’t do the greens So nice to be able to have them made ahead of time and just pop them in the oven when ready to serve
