Recipe's Ingredients

  Quantities for people → Recalculate
  • 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons fresh herbs
  • salt
  • pepper
  • nutmeg
  • 130 g butter
  • 80 g flour, plain
  • 100 g cheese, grated
  • 250 ml milk

  • Recipe preparation steps

  • 1
    Carefully separate the eggs.
  • 2
    Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. Add the milk, stirring rapidly with whisk. When blended and smooth, add the salt, pepper, nutmeg. Simmer gently for 5 minutes stirring the bottom regularly to ensure it doesn't burn.
  • 3
    Remove sauce from heat, stir in grated cheeses and allow to cool slightly.
  • 4
    Whisk in egg yolks and chopped fresh herbs. Sauce should be thick and creamy.
  • 5
    Using a clean bowl and a whisk, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Add half the whites to the cheese mixture, folding through carefully with flat spatula; then fold in remaining whites.(Adding whites in two portions like this makes it easier to fold them through the mixture; it also makes sure you do not overbeat mixture and break down the aeration).
  • 6
    Pour souffle mixture into four greased individual souffle dishes to within 0.5" of the top. Bake in a moderate oven (350ºF) approx. 30 minutes until lightly golden brown. Serve immediately.
