Ingredients
for the Soufflé dishes
15gbutter, melted
breadcrumbs for coating
for the Soufflé
100gwarm béchamel sauce
175gegg whites, (about 5)
the egg yolks from the whites
5mlslemon juice
leftover snoek, flaked
Method
Preheat the oven to 170° Celsius with a baking tray on the middle shelf (this is important so that the Soufflés can get a kick start when you put them in the oven, and to make getting them out easier)
use a pastry brush to butter the inside of 4 Soufflé dishes 10cm across x 7cm high
sprinkle the breadcrumbs into the dishes and rotate until the butter is completely coated, shake out the excess
over a bain-marie mix together the béchamel and the egg yolks and keep it warm (use a bigger bowl than you think you need!)
add the lemon juice to the egg whites
whisk the egg whites until they are firm but not too stiff (this will take longer than whisking egg whites with sugar)
whisk a quarter of the egg whites into the base until smooth - do this off the heat!
using a spatula fold in the balance of the egg whites
place the flaked snoek on the bottom of the soufflé dish
fill to the top with the base mixture and smooth off with a palette knife
