Carrot Soufflé

Okay, if you are like me, you'll hear the word "soufflé" and think, "too much work, too hard." Let me assure you that not only is this carrot soufflé as easy as they come, it's gobsmacking good. My father made a half batch a couple weeks ago and the three of us devoured it within minutes. He then made a full batch a few days ago, left for an hour and returned to find a third of it gone (that would be my doing). "Hey, you know it serves eight!" Uh huh. Or just the three of us.

Other than its impossible-to-screw-up-ness and over-the-top deliciousness, I also love how easily this recipe lends itself to adaptations.
