Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredients |
|---|---|
| 3/4 pound | asparagus, tough ends trimmed, cut into 1/2 |
| 3/4 cup | canned white kidney beans (cannellini), rinsed and drained |
| 1/3 cup | lower-fat milk (such as 1%) |
| 3 tbsp | all-purpose flour |
| 6 tbsp | soft goat cheese (about 1-1/2 ounces) |
| 2 | large egg yolks |
| 1/2 tsp | tarragon |
| 1/2 tsp | salt |
| 1/4 tsp | white pepper |
| 6 | large egg whites |
| 1/8 tsp | cream of tartar |
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a vegetable steamer, cook asparagus until barely tender, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Mash drained beans with a potato masher until coarse-texture but not lumpy.
In a large saucepan, whisk milk into flour over medium heat, whisking until no lumps remain. Bring to a boil and cook, whisking frequently, until mixture is slightly thickened, about 4 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in mashed beans and goat cheese. Whisk in egg yolks, tarragon, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and white pepper until well combined.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat egg whites, remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and cream of tartar, until stiff, but not dry, peaks form. Stir about 1 cup of egg whites into goat cheese-bean mixture, then gently fold in remaining whites. Gently fold in asparagus.
Spoon mixture into an 8-cup souffle mold and bake for 30 minutes, or until souffle is golden brown, puffed, and just set in center. Serve immediately.
