Where to find ingredients
Carrots are widely available in any local grocery store or fresh produce market. Milk and eggs can be found in the dairy aisle of most supermarkets. For the parmesan, look for aged, hard grating cheese in the cheese section or deli counter; avoid pre-packed 'parmesan-style' powders if possible for better flavor. Butter and oil are standard kitchen pantry items.
Preparation method
- In a blender, combine the cooked carrots, milk, eggs, and half of the grated cheese
- Blitz the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined
- Grease a baking dish or ramekin with butter or oil and lightly dust with some grated parmesan if you like
- Pour the blended mixture into the prepared baking dish
- Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese over the top, if using
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, until the soufflé is golden brown and set
