PANERA BREAD 4 CHEESE SOUFFLE RECIPE

Panera Bread’s egg souffle are one of my very favorite foods! For me, that’s odd, because most of my favorite foods are desserts!

Before I made Copycat Panera Bread Ham and Swiss Egg Souffle’ I was intimidated by the process. Souffle has a bad rap as being finicky and difficult to make. I researched other Panera Bread Copycat recipes and almost all of them microwaved the eggs for a few seconds. (The recipes were also all VERY similar. 🧐) Anywho, microwaving eggs then baking them just sounded weird to me. I went in a different direction with my recipe and created more of a traditional egg souffle adding extra ingredients to make it more like Panera Bread.

The Ham and Swiss Egg Souffle was a hit with the family. As well, it was NOT difficult to make. Of course, I used a premade puffed pastry as the crust. I have no desire to make puffed pastry from scratch. You can use refrigerated crescent roll dough for the crust but it won’t be as flaky and it won’t be as close to the Panera Bread’s souffle.

HOW TO MAKE 4 CHEESE EGG SOUFFLE

Egg souffle really isn’t any harder to make than biscuits or waffles and once you get the hang of it you’ll make whipping them up on the regular.

  1. Pastry – Evenly cut one sheet of thawed puff pastry into six large ramekins or tart pans.
  2. Make a roux – Melt the butter then add the flour and cook on low. Slowly add milk. Cook and allow it to thicken. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Eggs – Whisk the eggs until they are fluffy and pale yellow. In a large bowl, slowly add the eggs, the cooled milk mixture, and the shredded cheeses
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the pastry and cook.
  5. It’s just that simple!

    You forgot to tell us how much or what kind of ham to use. I found this in a different recipe. 2 thick slices deli ham, diced (I used Honey Roasted. You could also use quartered Canadian Bacon slices) I’m not sure if this will change the flavor or not.. and is it enough for that large of a recipe?
    Thanks.

        The recipe instructions refer to ham, garlic, and hot sauce (which aren’t on the ingredient list) and make no mention of when or how to add the cottage cheese. Looks like the ingredient list is for four cheese, but the instructions are for your other ham and cheese recipe?
