Instructions

Prepare the Vegetable Filling:
- Begin by heating a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the extra virgin olive oil, followed by the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes, or until the onion is tender and fragrant.
- Stir in the grated yellow zucchini and snipped basil leaves. Reduce the heat and allow the mixture to simmer gently until the zucchini is lightly cooked but retains a bit of crunch. Once cooked, turn off the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until well incorporated.

Make the Soufflé Base:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Spray a jelly roll pan or a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the reduced-calorie margarine. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour, salt, and ground cayenne pepper. Cook this mixture, stirring constantly, until it becomes smooth and bubbly, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and gradually stir in the skim milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Use a whisk to facilitate this process. Return the saucepan to the heat and cook the mixture, stirring continuously, until it thickens and bubbles, approximately 3-5 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
-
Combine the Egg Yolks and Whites:
- Once the mixture has cooled, whisk in the egg yolks one at a time until fully combined. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and white vinegar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cooled flour mixture, being careful not to deflate the airy texture.
-
Bake the Soufflé:
- Pour the soufflé batter evenly into the prepared jelly roll pan. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 35-40 minutes or until the soufflé is puffed and golden brown on top.
- While the soufflé is baking, prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with a long piece of greased foil.
-
Assemble the Rolls:
- Once the soufflé is fully baked, carefully loosen it from the edges of the pan. Invert the soufflé onto the prepared foil-lined baking sheet. Gently peel away the parchment paper on top.
- Evenly spread the vegetable filling over the surface of the soufflé. Starting from the narrow end, roll the soufflé up carefully, avoiding the foil. Slice the rolled soufflé into 1-inch thick pieces.
-
Serve:
- Serve the Vegetable-Filled Soufflé Rolls warm, alongside a refreshing tomato basil sauce for dipping. Enjoy this delightful dish as part of your breakfast or brunch spread!
