40g butter
40g flour
125g Smoked Westmorland cheese

How it’s done…

  3. Warm the milk in a saucepan, add the nutmeg and onion and leave to infuse for 10-15 minutes.
  4. In a second saucepan melt the butter and add the flour, cooking gently for 2 minutes without colouring, remove the onion from the milk and slowly add the milk to the pan a third at a time, stirring continuously, when all the milk has been added, continue to stir over the heat for 1 minute more.
  5. Remove the milk pan from the heat, add the cheese, stirring till it is fully melted, then add the egg yolks and mustard, transfer the mixture to a clean bowl.
  6. In a separate bowl, stiffly whip the egg whites and then fold in the cheese mixture.
  7. Fill your buttered soufflé/ramekins dishes two-thirds full leaving enough room for the soufflés to rise, place them in the bain-marie and cook in the pre-heated oven for 25-30 minutes.
  8. Carpaccio; Peel and thinly slice the beetroot.
  9. Mix the beetroot with the walnut oil and balsamic, season with a little salt and pepper, leave to marinate for 2 hours.
  10. Arrange the beetroot around the sides of the plate, ¼ the pickled walnuts and arrange with the rocket in the centre of the plate.
  11. Place the soufflé on top of the salad.
