  • Prep Time - 10
  • Cook Time - 45
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F. Lightly coat the bottom and sides of a 2-quart soufflé dish with butter.
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly to blend. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Bring to a low boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring, until thickened.  Add cheese; stir until melted. Remove from heat. Beat in egg yolks, one at a time. Cool.
  3. Beat egg whites until stiff and smooth. Blend a dollop of whites into the cheese mixture to lighten it. With a rubber spatula, gently fold cheese mixture into remaining egg whites, using an up-and-down, circular motion, until only a few white streaks remain.
  4. Spoon into soufflé dish and bake 35 to 40 minutes. Serve immediately
