Brain Soufflé (Budino di cervella)

Budino di cervella is a traditional dish that's especially popular in Trentino. The dish is usually made with a combination of calf's brain, onions, butter, breadcrumbs, eggs, bread rolls soaked in milk, and parsley. The calf's brain is sautéed with parsley and onions before it's finely diced and added to beaten egg yolks, butter, and bread.

The egg whites are beaten and folded into the mixture that's placed in a buttered baking dish sprinkled with breadcrumbs. The baking dish is placed in a larger baking pan that's filled with water, and the soufflé is baked until it's set.
