Parmesan Soufflé Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 large eggs, separated
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 6-cup soufflé dish and dust with 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese.
2. In a saucepan, melt butter, add flour and stir for 2 minutes over medium heat. Gradually add milk, whisking constantly until it comes to a boil and thickens. Turn off heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese.
3. Beat the egg yolks into the cheese mixture, one at a time. Stir in the salt and black pepper.
4. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
5. Gently fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture, one-third at a time, until no white streaks remain.
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared soufflé dish and smooth the surface. Run your thumb around the rim of the dish to create a shallow groove. This helps the soufflé rise straight.
7. Bake the soufflé for 30 minutes, until it is puffed up and golden brown. Serve immediately.

Verdict: This Parmesan soufflé recipe is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for special occasions or dinner parties. The soufflé is light and airy on the inside, with a crispy and cheesy exterior. It pairs well with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables.
