White Chocolate Strawberry Souffle

You know, the path to hell is paved with good intentions. In my quest to use as many strawberries while they are in season, I end up with an overabundance of Balsamic Strawberry Preserves. I just trade one problem for another (the story of my life). So with a plethora of preserves, I had to find a use for them.

I swear, this recipe came about because I didn’t have anything in the house to cook with except preserves, eggs, and white chocolate chips. Add in a touch of boredom, and inspiration is bound to strike sooner or later.

It’s incredibly quick to throw together (actually, it takes longer to preheat the oven). And it’s an impressive dessert for company too. The back notes of balsamic will keep your guests guessing about the secret ingredient. The light and airy quality seems so elegant too.

I know a lot of people are afraid to attempt a souffle. Don’t be. They really aren’t as delicate as they were made out to be in old sitcoms – about the only real way to make a souffle fall is to a) open the oven door for an extended period (the blast of cool air is what does it); or b) let it sit too long before you dive into it. Eat the souffle as soon as it comes out of the oven. If you follow these simple rules, you should be fine.

"Scott made my kitchen my dream kitchen. He contacted me about every detail and would call if his people would probably even be a half late to my house. He drove me to Tampa to pick out my Quartz and marble for the countertops, that is service. I tell everyone that inquires about kitchens to call Scott as I couldn't be happier with his service."
