Carrot Soufflé Recipe
I used to think that anything called a Souffle was going to be crazy hard to make and I would talk myself out of making them.
I was going through an old church cookbook and saw a recipe for Carrot Souffle that looks not only manageable but pretty darn easy. I figure it was time to get past my fear of the word Souffle and see what happened.
This carrot souffle has become a favorite side dish. It tastes more like dessert than a vegetable side dish and I am here for it!
Even my husband who is pretty anti-carrot enjoyed this dish. He is the guy who picks them out of soup and casseroles and wrinkles his nose but he liked this souffle.
We have been told this is similar to Piccadilly Cafeterias Carrot Souffle. We haven't been to the restaurant yet but can't wait to try theirs the next time we are in the south.

Recipe Tips
Set butter out so it reaches room temperature before mixing it into the carrots. This will help get the ingredients smooth.
Can you make a carrot souffle ahead of time?
Yes!!! Follow the instructions up to the point where the carrot "batter" is in the baking dish. Cover the dish and refrigerate it until you are ready to bake it.
It may take a few more minutes to bake since you are starting with cold ingredients.
