SAVORY EGG DISHES - Spring 2024 (Apr-Jun) Dish of the Quarter

SFORMATO

Tried my hand again at Sformato for the first time since it was DOTM on Chowhound.

It’s a savory italian flan which employs bechamel, ricotta, or cream as a base. I had only made the ricotta version before, so I tried a bechamel version for a change.

I used roasted cauliflower for the vegetable component, and pureed some of it into the custard. Also parmesan and cream cheese.

The sformato was really lovely in texture — smooth, rich but not overly so, and intensely flavored. Will repeat.
