Instructions for the Best Cheese Souffle
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/176°C.
- Heavily butter a 1 1/2 quart dish.
- Scaled the milk and cream slowly in a medium saucepan.
- Put the breadcrumbs, cheese, butter, salt and allspice into a mixing bowl and toss together. Pour milk over it all and stir.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks well. Pour over the bread mixture and stir really until incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they're stiff. Slowly fold the egg whites into the bread mixture.
- Pour it all into the prepared dish and put into your preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes until the soufflé is puffed and browned. Do NOT open the oven to see if your cheese soufflé is baking well or it will fall prematurely.
- Serve immediately!
Notes
To Make Your Own Breadcrumbs:
- Dice stale bread into bite size pieces – careful not to make them too big!
- Toss in a bowl with melted butter until coated.
- Spread evenly on a baking sheet and bake in an oven set at 375°F/191°C for about 10 minutes – check for browning.
- Remove and cool.
- Place a handful of bread crumbs in a blender and pulse to reduce to crumbles. You will most likely have different sized crumbles.
- Sift out the smallest and pulse the largest to crumble further.
- Do NOT blend until dust-like unless that’s what you want.
