I wanted to try something French! Gotta say, it was a complete success!
Ingredients:

1 oz butter + some for greasing the souffle dish
3/4 oz plain flour
9 fl oz milk
4 eggs
salt, pepper & grated nutmeg
Directions:
~ Preheat the oven to 350
1. Separate the egg whites from yolk and beat the whites with an electric mixer until they get thickly.
2. Prepare the béchamel (white sauce) :
-melt the butter in a saucepan, medium heat
-pour the flour on it while stirring with a wooden spoon until well blended.
-Reduce the heat, start pouring a bit of milk and gently stir until it is incorporated. (pour all the milk). Never stop stirring.
-Continue about 10 minutes until the béchamel is ready (it must get thick).
3. Add enough nutmeg, salt & pepper, and remove from fire.
4. Add the grated cheese, then the yolks
5.Turn vigourously to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
6. Gently incorporate the egg whites with a rubber spatula.
7. Pour the mixture equally into the 4 soufflé dishes, fill them about 3/4

For some reason souffles don’t seem to work out in Phoenix. I don’t know if its our elevation or lack of humidity darn it.

The souffles look lovely, I’ve always wanted to try them out, but never got to it. I’d love to try this version out!
