Cheese Souffle

I'm a little backwards, or is it ahead, of the Whisk Wednesday posts but I'm ready to share my Cheese Souffle and it's Wednesday...so here is mine!

Wonderful, delightful, dreamy dish. I will definitely make this again! I've made souffles before but the results have varied and this one...it came out just perfect!

Souffle au Comte
Cheese Souffle

1 1/4 cups grated Comte or other swiss cheese such as Gruyere or Emmenthal
1 1/4 cups milk
3 tb unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
salt
white pepper
freshly grated nutmed
4 eggs, seperated

A beautiful mix of the egg whites with the "custard-y" sauce of bilk, egg yolks and cheese. Then add in the whipped egg whites, pop into the oven, do the souffle prayer dance and VOILA! Souffle.

Looks fabulous, Melissa, I would like some of that right now please! I am looking forward to making this as I have never made a real souffle before...I am even more excited now that I have seen yours. Great job!

Wow, that is a pretty souffle! I'm not sure if I'd pick comte, gruyere or emmenthaler - maybe one of each! Glad your souffle dance worked this time.

It's beautiful. I've never made a souffle before. Don't think I have the right pan - which is the story of my life.

Hi Melissa - I'm one of the MLFB folks - your souffle and, in fact, your whole blog, looks lovely! I've got out of town company this week, but I will most definitely be back!

What a lovely souffle! I can't wait until the heat breaks some...it's into triple digits, and I try not to use the oven in heat like this! The burritos look pretty fab too!
