This fluffy and flavorful Egg Soufflé is a delightful breakfast or brunch option, perfect for special occasions or holiday mornings. Made with simple ingredients like eggs, milk, Gruyère, and Parmesan cheeses, it’s both impressive and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup grated Gruyère cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • Butter and grated Parmesan cheese for coating ramekins
  • Optional: sautéed spinach, garlic, chives, artichoke, bell pepper, sausage, or chopped meat

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Generously butter four 6-ounce ramekins and coat the inside with grated Parmesan cheese, tapping out the excess.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the egg yolks, one at a time. Then, stir in the Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses, salt, and pepper.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture until just combined.
  8. Divide the soufflé mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.
  9. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the soufflés have risen and are golden brown on top.
  10. Serve immediately, as soufflés will deflate upon cooling.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider incorporating sautéed spinach, garlic, chives, artichoke, bell pepper, sausage, or chopped meat into the soufflé mixture.
  • Ensure that the egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks to achieve the desired fluffiness.
  • Serve the soufflés promptly after baking to enjoy their light and airy texture.
