How to Make 100 Year Old Souffle
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk until smooth and thickened. Bring to a simmer, stirring continuously.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of grated Gruyère cheese (or your favorite cheese) until melted and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks until light and pale yellow.
- Gradually whisk the cheese sauce into the egg yolks until well combined.
- In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the cheese mixture to lighten it. Then, gently fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Butter six 6-ounce ramekins and dust with a little flour, tapping out any excess.
- Fill ramekins about ¾ full with the soufflé mixture.
- Run your thumb around the rim of each ramekin to create a slight lip.
- Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until the soufflés are puffed and golden brown. Do not open the oven door during baking!
- Serve immediately. Enjoy!
