How to Make Bacon And Cheese Souffles
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease 12 nonstick muffin cups.
- 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.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring continuously.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard until melted and smooth.
- Stir in 4 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk in the 4 egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- 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).
- Gently fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the soufflés are puffed and golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
