Brief review: Yeah, yeah, I know, sweet potatoes? In a souffle? But just like zucchini in zucchini bread, the sweet potato vanishes into the souffle and is not seen again. I'm not sure how that works. (Recipe #2 is for the sweet potato puree that you use to accomplish this feat.)
The good: Tasty, not as difficult as advertised, recipe was forgiving enough to cope with cheddar rather than the specified gruyere.
The bad: Ordinarily this recipe takes three eggs to serve four people. I made half a batch, and I could definitely use a clever way to measure out half an egg. I also ought to line up all the ingredients on the counter beforehand, with the measuring cups and spoons I'll need-- things would just work better that way. Last but not least... When pureeing, an aged and abused blender is NOT a good substitute for a food processor. That discovery leads me to wonder how people pureed food before food processors. Hmm...
