Items needed to answer the question, How do I bake a show-stopping Egg Soufflé. Items include: Butter Flour Eggs Grated Cheese

Butter 2 tablespoons
Flour 2 tablespoons
Eggs 4, separated
Grated Cheese 1/2 cup

Take note
Handle eggs with care to avoid any potential messes or shell mishaps.

1

Prep the Ramekins

Lightly grease your ramekins and dust them with a sprinkle of grated cheese, ensuring the insides are evenly coated. This will prevent your soufflés from sticking and add an extra layer of deliciousness.

2

Create the Base

Melt some butter in a pan over low heat, then add an equal amount of flour. Stir it together until it forms a smooth paste, also known as a roux. This will give your soufflé a rich and creamy texture.

3

Separate the Eggs

Carefully crack your eggs, making sure no extra shell pieces tag along. Separate the whites from the yolks, as we only need the whites for this fluffy masterpiece.

4

Whip it Good

In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites until they reach stiff peaks. This means they should stand up straight and not flop over when you lift the whisk. It's an arm workout, but worth it!

5

Fold in the Flavor

Gently fold the grated cheese into the roux mixture, making sure it's evenly distributed. This will add a punch of cheesy goodness to every bite.

6

Mix it Up

Take a spoonful of the whipped egg whites and fold it into the cheese-roux mixture. This will lighten up the base and make it easier to incorporate the rest of the egg whites.

7

Take it to the Top

With a gentle hand, fold the remaining egg whites into the mixture until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix, as we want to keep those airy bubbles intact.

8

Bake to Perfection

Divide the mixture evenly among the ramekins and smooth the tops with a spatula. Place them in a preheated oven and bake at 375°F (190°C) for around 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
