Ingredients
- 500g pumpkin or squash, peeled, deseeded and cut into 2cm cubes
- a small handful of sage leaves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 20g butter, melted, to grease
- 30g fresh white breadcrumbs
- 350g tub Sainsbury’s chilled Italian three cheese sauce
- 4 medium eggs, separated
Step by step
Get ahead
Roast and mash the pumpkin up to 1 day ahead. Cool, cover and chill.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Put the pumpkin or squash and sage leaves in a roasting tin, drizzle with the oil and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly golden. Remove the sage leaves and blitz the roasted pumpkin or squash in a food processor until smooth. Spread out the mixture on a plate to cool.
- Meanwhile, brush the insides of 4 x 300ml ovenproof mugs, teacups or ramekins with the butter and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs so the insides are thoroughly coated – this helps the soufflés to rise well.
- Tip the cheese sauce into a large bowl. Stir in the egg yolks and cooled mashed pumpkin or squash, and season generously.
- In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are just holding their shape, then carefully fold into the pumpkin mixture.
-
Divide the mixture equally between the mugs so it comes about 2cm below the tops. Put the mugs on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until well risen but still a bit squidgy in the centre. Serve straight away.
