Souffles were easy to make, hard to photograph. They fell so quickly that I wasn't able to snap pictures before they started to deflate. I have a huge appreciation for all the pictures I have seen in the past of sky high souffles. They must have been taken by some very speedy photographers.

Classic Cheese Souffle
Adapted from Sunset April 2003
- 1/4 cup (1/8 lb.) butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (6 oz.)
- 6 large eggs, separated
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1. Generously butter six 1- to 1 1/4-cup soufflé dishes; set them about 2 inches apart in a 10- by 15-inch baking pan.
2. In a 2- to 3-quart pan over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup butter. Add flour
and stir until mixture is smooth and bubbling. Stir in milk,
cayenne,
and salt, and continue stirring until sauce boils and thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
3. Add cheese
and stir until melted. Add egg yolks
and stir until the mixture is blended and smooth.
4. In a bowl, with a mixer on high speed, beat egg whites (use whisk attachment if available) with cream of tartar until short, stiff, moist peaks form.
With a flexible spatula, fold a third of the cheese sauce into whites until well blended. Add remaining sauce and gently fold in just until blended.
5. Scrape the batter into the prepared soufflé dishes. Fill the dishes 3/4 of the way full.
6. Bake in a 375° oven until top is golden to deep brown and cracks look fairly dry, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately, scooping portions from single soufflé with a large spoon.

I missed making cheese puffs! I would love to make one again. I am glad that you have one by one accomplished the things you want to make.
Perfect....Yet another thing I have always wanted to try but have been to afraid
Yeah, that's sort of how I feel about photographing my kids. They move too quickly half my pictures blur. I think your souffle looks great!
Yea, you are almost finished with your list!!! You did a good job on the soufflé! It looks delicious.
Oh! I forgot to mention that I love that picture of you kissing the KA mixer!! Hilarious!!! I think I hugged and kissed my mixers, too!!
I take all my sweets to work so they end up on someone elses waistline instead of mine. I'm sure your coworkers would love your sugary treats.
I've never made a souffle, I'll have to try that soon. Maybe for valenntine's day.
Looks beautiful!!!! ~LeslieMichele

Very pretty souffle. I've still never made one.
There's an award waiting for you on my blog. : )
Hope you have a lovely weekend.
souffle's have always intimidated me. but you made it look like something I could do. I also love anything cheesy. These look really good. I've added it to my list of things to make :)
Looks great! You can make cream puffs savory too - fill the puffs with chicken salad or shrimp or whatever - very nice.
