Ingredients:

4 eggs (white and yolks
separated)
1 cup milk, warmed (in
microwave) but not hot
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup butter (half stick)
1 1/2 cup grated Cheddar
cheese
salt to taste


Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.

Cut butter into several chunks.
























Melt butter in large skillet over
medium heat.






































Add flour.


















Immediately start whisking flour
with wire whisk. Whisk constantly
just until flour mixture begins to
turn a light brown in color.



































When well-blended, add milk.


















Whisk until smooth.


















Add salt.
Cook over low heat for 2 to 3
minutes until thick and creamy.


















Carefully separate egg yolks
and whites into 2 different bowls.
Be especially careful not to
accidentally get any egg yolk
into whites! If you accidentally
get a drop of a broken yolk into
whites, carefully remove it with
spoon.












With wire whisk, beat yolks until
smooth.

















With electric mixer, beat egg
whites until thick and foamy. Be
careful not to over beat! Stop
your mixer as soon as soft
peaks form.


































Stir a spoonful of flour mixture
into egg yolks.

















Mix well with wire whisk.



















Pour all egg yolk mixture into
flour mixture.


















Whisk until smooth.




































Add cheese and whisk until
cheese melts and mixture
becomes creamy.
Add a spoonful of egg whites
into cheese sauce.


















Using rubber spatula, carefully
fold egg whites into cheese
sauce. Do not over mix! Fold
just several times. It is okay to
see bits of white.


































Add half of cheese mixture into
egg whites and fold gently until
the mixtures are just combined,
cutting down through center to
bottom and moving along the
side of bowl, up and down.
Do not over mix! Having some
bits of whites is perfectly okay.


















Generously spray large souffle
dish.

















Sprinkle flour all over the inside
of dish.





































Gently spoon souffle mixture into
dish. Bake in preheated oven for
25 to 30 minutes or until puffed
and golden brown.





Serve immediately!
