1

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place a rack in the center.

2

Prepare the soufflé dish

Generously butter a soufflé dish and lightly dust it with grated Parmesan cheese, tapping out any excess.

Make a roux

In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and whisk until smooth. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Add milk and seasonings

Slowly pour in 1 cup of milk while whisking continuously. Season with a pinch of salt, a dash of black pepper, and a sprinkle of nutmeg. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Separate and beat the eggs

Separate 4 eggs, placing the whites in a large mixing bowl and the yolks in a separate bowl. Beat the yolks until smooth. Set aside.

6

Fold in the egg yolks

Slowly and gently fold the beaten egg yolks into the cooled sauce until well combined.

7

Whip the egg whites

Using a clean, dry electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Be patient, this may take a few minutes!

8

Fold in the egg whites

Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the sauce mixture, using a rubber spatula. Make sure to maintain the lightness and airiness.

Bake and enjoy!

Pour the mixture into the prepared soufflé dish and smooth the top. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the soufflé is puffed up and golden brown. Serve immediately and enjoy the fluffy goodness!
