Instructions
- Start out by separating 6 eggs. In the small bowl with the egg yolks add salt, pepper, ddry mustard, and nutmeg. The egg whites go in a small/medium bowl with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar; use whisk or egg beater to mix until white and foamy.HINT: I like to set out the milk and cheese on the counter so it is ready.
- In large pot melt 6 butter; add 6 Tablespoons flour and whisk over low/medium heat until very slightly browning. Quickly whisk in milk, stirring constantly so no lumps form. When it has started to thicken remove from heat and add whisk in egg yolk mixture and cheddar cheese.
- Fold in egg white mixture and pour into ungreased souffle dish (or casserole pan).
- Bake at 350 F for 55 minutes until puffed and golden. Serve IMMEDIATELY or it will start deflating. This makes a nice light dinner served with a salad or for brunch with potato casserole.
