Key Ingredients
You will need the following ingredients to make this Egg Spinach Souffle:
- Milk - I use full-fat milk in this recipe, but the recipe works just fine with low-fat milk. I have also used Almond milk and have found that it works fine, but the soufflé may be a bit flatter than what is pictured.
- Cream cheese - I use a full-fat cream cheese but a low-fat cheese works as just as well in testing. You can use a vegan cream cheese in place of the regular cream cheese.

Variations
- Chicken - I typically will add 1 cup of diced cooked chicken to the spinach blend. You may also want to try adding 1 cup of cooked and chopped bacon or sausage to the spinach blend. Cooked crab is also delicious in this recipe.
- Spicy - Add 1 teaspoon of dried red pepper, or Aleppo pepper to the spinach blend.
- Onions - Green onions work well in this recipe for some added crunch and onion flavor.
- Spinach - You can substitute kale or chard for the spinach.
How To Make An Egg Souffle: Step-By-Step
Here are some quick visual instructions. Remember that full instructions with the exact ingredients are in the printable recipe card:
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a 15x10 jelly roll pan. Line the pan with wax paper. Butter the wax paper and then dust the butter with flour or use a high quality cooking spray like Baker's Joy.
Step 2: In a medium saucepan on the stove over medium-high heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in the flour, salt, and pepper until the flour is combined. Turn the heat to low and gradually add in the milk. Keep whisking until the mixture is smooth and thickened. Take the white sauce off the heat.
Beat the egg yolks until thick and lemon colored. Gradually add the egg yolk mixture to the white sauce mixture, whisking constantly so that the eggs do not curdle. Set aside.
Step 3: Beat the egg whites with either a stand mixer or in a large bowl with an electric handheld beater on high speed until stiff peaks form. Using a rubber spatula gently fold small amounts of the beaten egg whites into the warm sauce until the sauce is fluffy and combined.
Step 4: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pan and spread the mixture out to the edges.
Bake at 400 degree for 25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
Step 5: While the eggs bake, prepare the filling by sauteing the shallots in 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a pot over medium heat. Then add in the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes. Take it off the heat and add in the spinach, chicken (if using), nutmeg, mustard, and cream cheese. Mix well until combined and set aside.
Step 6: When the egg souffle is done, place a dish towel over the top and flip the pan over so the souffle is turned out onto the dish towel. Take the pan off of the souffle. Starting from the long end of the souffle and using the towel as a guide, gently roll the eggs into a log. Let it set for 1-2 minutes. Unroll.
Spread the spinach mixture over the eggs. Re-roll and then place on a platter with the seam side down.
Gwen's Pro Tip
This recipe is best made the day before and then reheated before you serve it to company. You can also serve this cold or at room temperature.
If you are building out a full brunch table, there are plenty of other egg dishes that pair beautifully with this roll. A batch of the Bacon And Cheese Egg Bites adds a rich, protein-packed option that guests can grab and go, while a slice of Blintz Casserole brings a slightly sweet and creamy contrast. My personal favorite recipe to serve with this is the Brioche French Toast Casserole!
Egg Souffle FAQ's
Whisking the egg whites until stiff peaks form and then folding them gently into the sauce.
A quiche, like this Leek Quiche, is made with a pastry crust and has a custardy texture. A souffle texture which is made with the whipping of the egg whites, is soft and pillowy. It does not have a crust.
