Easy Cheese Soufflé

I grew up with this absolutely delicious Easy Cheese Souffle Recipe. It is one of my all-time favorite meals! Cheese Souffle is eggs and cheese prepared in such a unique way it tastes nothing like cheesy scrambled eggs. Growing up I called this French dish airy eggs because it gets to big and puffy and is so light!  The Cheese Souffle is easy to make, tastes amazing, is a nice light dinner (or breakfast), and is great for stretching a buck.

The key to this recipe is to have everything all set-out and ready to go so you can quickly add things. It only takes a couple minutes to whip together, then just pop it in the oven for an hour and you are all ready to enjoy this scrumptious egg recipes.
Steps to prep for everything to come together seamlessly:
  • Pre heat oven to 350 F
  • Measure 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg together in a little bowl.
  • Measure out 1 and 1/2 cups milk
  • Have 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese ready
  • Separate 6 eggs making sure the whites are in a bowl large enough to mix with 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar and an egg beater.
  • Set out your 2 quart souffle dish or individual ramekins

Easy cheese soufflé recipe

Start out by making a roux – that’s just a fancy term for what is going to thicken your sauce.
In a large pot  heat over medium heat 6 Tablespoons butter. When it is melted add 6 Tablespoons flour and your seasoning: salt, pepper, dry mustard, and nutmeg.
Whisk it together continuously for about a minute until it is ever so slightly turning golden.
Add pre-measured 1 1/2 cups milk; continuing to whisk continuously as it will start to thicken.

When it has thickened (3-4 minutes); remove from heat and add 6 egg yolks and 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and whisk until it is well combined.
seperate the 6 eggs and whip the egg whites with cream of tartar until white peaks form
Now, using a hand mixer beat 6 egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tarter until white, foamy and peaks form. (The cream of tartar helps stabilize the egg whites)
Pour into your large pot and stir only to combine (don’t over mix); pour into ungreased 2 quart souffle dish. Sprinkle the top with a dash of cayenne pepper.
Cook for 55 minutes (or 25 minutes for individual ramekins). Don’t open the oven! It will make your beautiful souffle fall in the middle.

Be ready to serve it right away as the center will start falling within minutes. It won’t affect the taste, but I like to have everyone at the table to watch the gorgeous souffle come out of the oven straight to the table.
