How I love this time of year. I feel like everything is blooming and everything is different. The herbs and greens seem to be full of life and aromas.
Today I have a beautiful spring soufflé with spinach, leeks, dill and shrimp.
It's a perfect light appetizer. Enjoy with a glass of white wine!
You can substitute shrimp with smoked salmon pieces..
Ingredients (8 people)
1 pound fresh spinach
5 chopped leeks (white and tender green part)
4 spring onions, chopped (white and tender green part)
3 tablespoons chopped dill
400 g Greek Anthotyro Cheese (you can use light ricotta instead)
100 g crumbled feta cheese
16 large shrimp peeled and deveined
2 eggs
200 ml milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt - Pepper
How to make
Blanch the spinach for a few minutes in boiling water, drain and place in bowl.
Place a skillet over medium heat; add the olive oil and when hot add the leeks and onions. Sauté for 5 minutes until soften. Sprinkle with dill, salt and pepper, remove from skillet and add to the bowl with the spinach.
Preheat oven to 350.
Add the shrimp, anthotyro cheese and crumbled feta. Stir; beat the eggs with the milk and pour over the mixture with spinach and shrimp.
Pour the whole mixture in a baking bowl - pan or divide into ramekins.
Bake for 40 minutes. (If using individual ramekins bake for 25 - 30 minutes)
Allow to cool slightly before serving.


What a great recipe. That looks amazing. I love the spinach, leek and cheese combination xx

DeleteEri, I love everything about this, the leeks, the shrimp, the cheeses, yum! What a lovely lunch or light dinner this would make!
ReplyDeletethank you so much Chris, it's a nice spring dish!
DeleteHi Eri - this looks like a great recipe for an Easter lunch - you could skip the seafood and make it a vegetarian option if you needed one (as I always do for my daughter-in-law).
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Heather! Hugs!

ReplyDeleteSpring and fall are the best times of year. Spring in particular always make me feel alive. Having this souffle and more wine would probably produce the same reaction in me though. ;-)
