Its hard to get a new thing/gift and not use it immediately. Hence started my search for a new Souffle dish. I had almost zeroed in on a Chocolate Souffle, but then decided against it due to the not so calorie friendly ingredients. So I started looking for something low fat and healthy or rather healthier..and eureka !! Tuna Souffle - fits the diet too! This is a combination of a few recipes and I have tweaked it a bit here and there according to what I had in the fridge. And it came out quite well. I wasn't sure what to expect since I had never made a souffle before. Mr Everything loved it too and we are so grateful to our friend M for giving us this beautiful pot and there by an awesome simple meal!
Brown Bread - 8 slices (Crust removed)
Tuna - 2 cans (185 gms cans) .
Mayonnaise - 3/4 cup ( I used low fat Mayo)
Green Pepper - 1 (Finely chopped)
Onion - 1/2 Onion finely chopped
Corn - 1/3 cup
Peas - 1/3 cup
Celery - 1 cup (Finely diced)
Milk - 1 cup
Eggs beaten - 4
Grated Cheese - 1 1/2 cups
Salt
Pepper
Cut four slices of bread into small cubes and layer the bottom of a baking dish. Mix tuna, mayo, green pepper, onion, corn , celery and peas together along with salt and pepper. Spread this mixture over the diced bread.
Cover the tuna mixture with the 4 remaining slices of bread. Mix beaten eggs and milk and pour it on top of the bread making sure to cover every bit of bread. Cover with a cling wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Remove from refrigerator and bring to room temperature. Remove cling wrap and bake at 325 F for about 15 mins. Remove from over, sprinkle grated cheese and return to oven. Bake for another 15 minutes at 325 F.
Great recipe, thanks for sharing! Looking forward to trying this out this week...
