A technically challenging Turkish egg dish, fish soufflé is made by carefully folding whipped egg whites into a fish béchamel sauce and baking it until risen. Getting the mixture to the right consistency is key to helping the soufflé rise without collapsing in the oven.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the Fish Sauce

10 min

Melt the butter and add the flour; cook for 2 minutes. Gradually pour in the milk and stir for 8 minutes, until thickened. Add the steamed fish and dill and stir to combine.

2

Mix in the Egg Yolks

5 min

Add the egg yolks to the warm sauce one at a time with the salt, stirring after each addition.

3

Whip the Egg Whites

8 min

Beat the egg whites for 8 minutes, until they hold stiff peaks.

4

Fold and Bake

20 min

Fold the whipped egg whites into the sauce with an up-and-over motion, then divide the mixture among the ramekins. Bake in a preheated 190°C / 375°F oven for 20 minutes, until risen and golden.

Reminder

Do not open the oven door during baking; a sudden drop in temperature can collapse the soufflé. Contains wheat (gluten), fish, dairy (milk, butter), and egg.
