Ready to float away on a fluffy cloud of cheese? Let’s dive right into the recipe then. Here’s exactly what you’ll need.
Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup of grated Gruy��re cheese
- 1 1/2 cups of whole milk
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1/4 cup of flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
You’ll also need a souffl�� dish or well-buttered mold for baking.
Now let���s talk about ingredients. Eggs and cheese are the stars of the show here – eggs give your souffl�� its lift, while the Gruy��re gives it its creamy, rich flavor. You can also swap the Gruy��re with Emmental or Comt�� if you prefer. Remember, a Fluffy Cheese Souffl�� is forgiving so don’t sweat it too much!
How To Make Fluffy Cheese Souffl��
- First, preheat your oven and butter up your souffl�� dish.
- Then, separate your eggs. This is key! We need fluffy egg whites for the lifting effect.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the flour.
- Add milk gradually to create a smooth mixture, then stir in the cheese and egg yolks. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Whip the egg whites till they form firm peaks, then gently fold them into the cheese mixture until it’s well combined.
- Pour this into your buttered dish, sprinkle a little more cheese on top and slide it into the oven.
- Wait for it to puff up and turn golden brown, then serve immediately.
Tips For The Best Results
- Use room temperature eggs for better volume.
- Do NOT open your oven until it’s ready or the rising effect may fail.
- Serve directly out of the oven to maintain its fluffy structure.
Storage Tips
- Unfortunately, souffl��s do not store well. They should really be eaten immediately upon baking.

A: This might be because you opened your oven door prematurely or your egg whites were not whipped to firm enough peaks.
Q: Can I make this dish ahead of time?
