Introduction
A simplified cheese soufflé recipe that eliminates the traditional Béchamel sauce base, making it much easier and faster to prepare. This method results in an incredibly light, feather-like texture with an intense, undiluted cheese flavor.
Step 1
Brush the inside of the ramekins with melted butter, making sure to brush upwards along the sides to help the soufflés rise straight. Add some sugar to coat the buttered ramekins, rotate to cover completely, dump out the excess, and place the ramekins on a baking sheet.
Step 2
Separate the 2 large eggs, placing the whites in one clean bowl and the yolks in another.
Step 3
To the egg yolks, add white sugar, all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, a few drops of vanilla extract, grated lemon zest, cream cheese, and grated Cheddar cheese.
Step 4
Use a spatula to mix the yolk and cheese mixture together until smooth and all the flour and sugar have disappeared into the paste.
Step 5
Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites. Whisk them until they reach soft-to-medium peaks that hold their shape but are not dry or grainy.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Always brush the butter upwards along the ramekin walls to help the soufflés rise straight.
Ensure no yolk gets into the whites, as any fat will prevent them from whipping up properly.
Do not over-whip the egg whites to keep them from becoming dry and grainy.
Serve immediately upon removing from the oven, as they deflate quickly.
Bake for 11 minutes instead of 12 for a traditional runny/saucy center.
