About cheese souffle
Cheese Soufflé is a classic baked dish in which a cheese-enriched white sauce is lightened with whipped egg whites. This profile uses mature Cheddar and mustard powder in a breadcrumb-coated dish.
Cheddar gives the soufflé a sharp savoury depth, supported by the warmth of mustard. Butter and milk round out the base, while eggs supply both richness and the clean, airy rise.
The soufflé emerges high above its dish with a bronzed, delicate cap. Beneath the lightly crisp surface, the centre is soft, moist and cloud-like, with fine bubbles held in a tender cheese custard.
