by

Experience the lightness and elegance of a Fluffy Egg Soufflé, perfect for breakfast or brunch! This delightful dish features beaten egg whites folded into a rich egg yolk base, creating a cloud-like texture that’s both airy and flavorful. Whether enjoyed plain or with your favorite herbs and cheese, this soufflé is sure to impress your guests and elevate your morning routine.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs (separated)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (or heavy cream)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the ramekins)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (e.g., Gruyère, cheddar, or your favorite cheese)
  • Fresh herbs (e.g., chives, parsley, or thyme, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease four ramekins (6 oz size) with butter and place them on a baking sheet for easy handling.
  2. Prepare the Egg Yolk Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. If using cheese or herbs, fold them into the mixture now.
  3. Whip the Egg Whites: In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add a pinch of salt, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. The egg whites should be glossy and hold their shape.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk mixture to lighten it. Then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites, being cautious not to deflate the mixture. The goal is to keep the airiness intact.
  5. Fill Ramekins: Spoon the soufflé mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the soufflés have risen and are golden brown on top. Do not open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the soufflés to collapse.
  7. Serve Immediately: Remove the soufflés from the oven and serve them right away for the best texture. Enjoy them plain or topped with additional cheese or herbs.
