Ingredients |
3 tablespoons butter. 4 tablespoons flour. ½ teaspoon salt. 1 cup milk. ¾ cup grated cheese. 1/8 teaspoon mustard. Few grains cayenne. 3 egg yolks. 3 egg whites. |
Instructions |
Make a regular cream sauce from the butter, flour, milk and seasonings. Add the cheese and stir until melted. Remove from heat; stir in unbeaten egg yolks. Fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites. Pour the mixture into a buttered baking dish. Bake in a moderate oven 350 degrees F. for 40 minutes or until the mixture does not adhere to the tip of a knife gently inserted in the centre. Serve at once. Now, generally speaking, a mixture such as this is cooked by placing it in a pan of water but I have found that I get a drier, firmer souffle by baking it at 350 degrees F. without the pan of water in the oven. |
