Cheese Soufflé
A soufflé should be served immediately as it starts to collapse a few minutes after removing from the oven.
Ingredients[]
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided (about 2 ounces)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Atkins Quick Quisine™ Bake Mix
- 2 tablespoons whole wheat pastry flour
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup water
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, grated (about 8 ounces)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 6 large eggs, separated
Directions[]
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease a two-quart soufflé dish and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese.

- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over moderate heat.
- Stir in soy and pastry flours and mix well.
- Slowly add heavy cream and water, whisking constantly.
- Stir in remaining Parmesan, cheddar, salt and cayenne.
- Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth, about 3 minutes.
