Where to find ingredients
Find fresh carrots at any local market or grocery produce section. Milk and eggs are available at any neighbourhood corner shop or supermarket dairy aisle. For the Parmesan cheese, look for blocks or pre-grated options in the cheese section of major supermarkets; if hard to find, any sharp, dry aged cheese will work as a substitute, though the original flavour profile depends on the Parmesan.
Preparation method
- In a blender, combine the cooked carrots, milk, eggs, and half of the grated cheese
- Blend everything well until you have a smooth, uniform mixture
- Grease a baking dish (pyrex) with butter or oil and lightly dust it with some grated Parmesan, if you like
- Pour the mixture from the blender into the prepared baking dish
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top if you're using it
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until the soufflé is golden and set
