It was a busy day that Thursday. My class was out at 12:45 and I had to rush to my car, drive down Manhattan Blvd. to Derby Hall no later than 1:15 to snap some pictures of this vegetable souffle with cheese sauce, then rush back to Kedzie Hall for my 2:30-4:20 class. Afterwards, I had to head back to Derby right away for a photo session with the Kansas State Fair meal.
A souffle is pretty much a "slice of cake" made with dinner items rather than desert items. This souffle pictured, I was told, was mostly broccoli and spinach.
I must say that I've often wondered if broccoli is an Italian word. It looks Italian. I thought that the word itself became Americanized. It should be pronounced "bra-co-lee." (Add your own Italian accent here).

The souffle seems like a "let-all" dish. Anything can become a souffle- cheese, chicken, tuna, chocolate! Allrecipes.com lists 44 souffle recipes which includes a coffee souffle, a jalapeno souffle, and even a cheddar cheese sandwich souffle.
But the vegetable souffle like this one is a classic. It's common but still keeps a gourmet nature. The cheese sauce makes it casual. This is the kind of meal I could see a college student prepare to impress his girlfriend- or vica versa. Personally, I would have added red peppers to this dish for color. I can't see peppers being unfit to put in with the spinach and "bra-co-lee!"
