Instructions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Butter and bread-crumb the ramekins.

In a mixing bowl, fold the beaten egg whites into the oyster dressing. Pour the mixture into a 24-ounce ramekin. Bake the souffle for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the souffle rises to about 2 inches above the rim of the ramekin.

In a saute pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, render the Tasso. Cook for 1 minute. Add the shallots, garlic and tomatoes. Saute for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the veal reduction. Bring the liquid up to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Stir in the oysters and green onions. Cook the sauce until the oysters start to curl, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Check the seasoning. Place the souffle in the center of an over-sized platter. Spoon the ragu around the souffle. Garnish with fried spinach, chopped chives, and Emerils Essence.
