Cheese Soufflé Recipe

Cheese Soufflé

Today, I’m bringing you one of my favorite recipes to date. I had so much fun making this Cheese Soufflé! It’s the perfect combination of light, airy texture and rich, cheesy flavor. I paired it with this Crock Pot Beef Ragu for the perfect meal. 

Start out by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.

In a saucepan, melt the butter then stir in the flour. Add the milk, cayenne and Dijon mustard and continue to stir until thickened.

Add the cheese a little bit at a time and mix well. Remove from heat.

Separate the egg yolks and egg whites into two bowls.

Beat the egg yolks with a fork and then add the cheese sauce to the eggs yolks. Stir well and allow the mixture to cool.

Using a standing or hand mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This usually takes 2-3 minutes.

Carefully pour the cheese and egg yolk mixture into the egg whites and gently combine.
