How to Make Cheese Souffl
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch soufflé dish.
- 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.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk until smooth and thickened. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 cup of grated Gruyère cheese (or your favorite cheese) until melted and the sauce is smooth and thick.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 3 large egg yolks until light and pale. Gradually whisk them into the cheese sauce.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the cheese sauce to lighten it. Then gently fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared soufflé dish.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Do not open the oven door during baking.
- Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving immediately.
