  • 3 eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup butter unsalted, melted
  • bread crumbs fine, dry

Ancho-Raspberry Sauce

  • 1 tbsp. sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 4 oz. rasberry puree
  • 1 tbsp. raspberry liqueur

Instructions
 

Sunrise Cheese Souffle

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray the inside of 4 individual soufflé cups (7 oz.) with baking spray and place on a baking sheet. Divide cheese evenly into the soufflé cups.
  • Combine the cottage cheese, milk, flour, butter and eggs in a blender. Process until smooth. Pour the egg mixture into the soufflé cups. Sprinkle with the crumbs.
  • Bake for 35 minutes.
  • Spread a puddle of sauce on the serving plate. Run a knife inside the cup. Carefully turn out each soufflé into your hand and place right-side-up on the serving plate. Serve immediately.

Ancho-Raspberry Sauce

  • Wash chile and remove stem. Place chile in a bowl with boiling water just to cover the chile; cover with plastic wrap. Soak for 15 minutes.
  • Combine sugar and cornstarch thoroughly in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Place chile with 4 oz. water in a blender; blend until pureed. Run pureed chile through a food mill or sieve to strain out chile skin and seeds.
  • Place chile and raspberry puree in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a simmer. Whisk sugar and cornstarch mixture into the puree; bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer for a minute longer. Add Framboise; adjust for sweetness.
