How to Make Bacon And Cheese Souffles

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease 12 nonstick muffin cups.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring continuously.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard until melted and smooth.
  5. Stir in 4 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon. Set aside to cool slightly.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk in the 4 egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  7. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat the 4 egg whites with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (about 5 minutes).
  8. Gently fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  9. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the soufflés are puffed and golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
