Easy Cheese Soufflé
I grew up with this absolutely delicious Easy Cheese Souffle Recipe. It is one of my all-time favorite meals! Cheese Souffle is eggs and cheese prepared in such a unique way it tastes nothing like cheesy scrambled eggs. Growing up I called this French dish airy eggs because it gets to big and puffy and is so light! The Cheese Souffle is easy to make, tastes amazing, is a nice light dinner (or breakfast), and is great for stretching a buck.

Easy cheese soufflé recipe
Start out by making a roux– that’s just a fancy term for what is going to thicken your sauce.
In a large potheat over medium heat 6 Tablespoons butter. When it is melted add 6 Tablespoons flour and your seasoning: salt, pepper, dry mustard, and nutmeg.
Whisk it together continuously for about a minute until it is ever so slightly turning golden.
Add pre-measured 1 1/2 cups milk; continuing to whisk continuously as it will start to thicken.

When it has thickened (3-4 minutes); remove from heat and add 6 egg yolks and 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and whisk until it is well combined.
Now, using a hand mixerbeat 6 egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tarter until white, foamy and peaks form. (The cream of tartar helps stabilize the egg whites)
Pour into your large pot and stir only to combine (don’t over mix); pour into ungreased2 quart souffle dish. Sprinkle the top with a dash of cayenne pepper.
Cook for 55 minutes (or 25 minutes for individual ramekins). Don’t open the oven! It will make your beautifulsouffle fall in the middle.
How gorgeous does that look?!
Be ready to serve it right away as the center will start falling within minutes. It won’t affect the taste, but I like to have everyone at the table to watch the gorgeous souffle come out of the oven straight to the table.
It is light and fluffy, amazingly flavorful, super yummy, and the best egg recipesif you ask me!
It’s amazing how far this recipe can stretch an egg! It is perfectly fluffy and scrumptious!

Servings 4
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 6 tablespoons flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspooon dry mustard
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 6 large eggs, seperated
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- dash cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tarter
Instructions
Start out by separating 6 eggs. In the small bowl with the egg yolks add salt, pepper, ddry mustard, and nutmeg. The egg whites go in a small/medium bowl with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar; use whisk or egg beater to mix until white and foamy.
HINT: I like to set out the milk and cheese on the counter so it is ready.
In large pot melt 6 butter; add 6 Tablespoons flour and whisk over low/medium heat until very slightly browning. Quickly whisk in milk, stirring constantly so no lumps form. When it has started to thicken remove from heat and add whisk in egg yolk mixture and cheddar cheese.
Fold in egg white mixture and pour into ungreasedsouffledish (or casserole pan).
Bake at 350 F for 55 minutes until puffed and golden. Serve IMMEDIATELY or it will start deflating. This makes a nice light dinner served with a salad or for brunch with potato casserole.
