CHOCOLATE SOUFFLé
Some of the most experienced home cooks are afraid of soufflés. They'll never rise, they'll immediately fall, they're difficult to make, they're temperamental. Yet people do want to make soufflés - or want them made for them. Hence this recipe, which is not only not scary, it's also easy. It can be made ahead of time, it's rich and light, it will dazzle your significant other (or anyone else), and it requires no more effort than it takes to beat a few eggs.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 2-cup or one 4-cup soufflé or other deep baking dish(es). Sprinkle each with sugar, invert it and tap to remove excess sugar.
- Beat egg yolks with all but 1 tablespoon sugar until very light and very thick; mixture will fall in a ribbon from beaters when it is ready. Mix in the melted chocolate until well combined; set aside.
- Wash beaters well, then beat egg whites with salt and cream of tartar until whites hold soft peaks; continue to beat, gradually adding remaining tablespoon sugar, until they are very stiff and glossy. Stir a good spoonful of whites thoroughly into egg yolk mixture to lighten it; then fold in remaining whites, using a rubber spatula. Transfer to prepared soufflé dish(es); at this point you can cover and refrigerate until you are ready to bake.
- Bake until center is nearly set, 20 minutes for individual soufflés and 25 to 35 minutes for a single large soufflé. Serve immediately.

THREE CHEESE SOUFFLé OMELETTE
Steps:
- Place a 7-or-8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Set the oven rack to the center position and heat the broiler to high.
- Place the yolks into a medium bowl and the whites into a large metal or glass bowl. Add the salt to the whites and, using a metal whisk or hand mixer, whip up until foamy and they hold medium peaks. Set aside. Lightly whisk the egg yolks until slightly foamy. Using a metal spoon or large whisk, gently fold the yolks into the whites just until combined.
- Melt the butter in the pan and gently pour in the eggs. Allow the omelette to cook for 1 minute. Gently sprinkle with all the cheese and transfer to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
- Gently fold the omelette in half and transfer to a plate. Scatter with the herbs, season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Brush bottom and sides of 2 (5-ounce) ramekins lightly with 1 teaspoon melted butter; cover bottom and sides right up to the rim. Add 1 tablespoon white sugar to ramekins. Rotate ramekins until sugar coats all surfaces. Pour off extra sugar.
- Place chocolate pieces in a metal mixing bowl. Place bowl over a pan of about 3 cups hot water over low heat. Do not let water boil or come to a simmer.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle in flour. Whisk until flour is incorporated into butter and mixture thickens, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low. Whisk in cold milk until mixture becomes smooth and thickens, 2 or 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Transfer mixture to bowl with melted chocolate. Add salt and very small pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix together thoroughly. Add egg yolk and mix to combine. Leave bowl above the hot (not simmering) water to keep chocolate warm while you whip the egg whites.
- Place 2 egg whites in a mixing bowl; add cream of tartar. Whisk until mixture begins to thicken and a drizzle from the whisk stays on the surface about 1 second before disappearing into the mix, 2 or 3 minutes. Add 1/3 of sugar and whisk in. Whisk in a bit more sugar about 15 seconds; whisk in the rest of the sugar. Continue whisking until mixture is about as thick as shaving cream and holds soft peaks, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer a little less than half of egg whites to chocolate. Mix until egg whites are thoroughly incorporated into the chocolate, 1 or 2 minutes. Add the rest of the egg whites; gently fold into the chocolate with a spatula, lifting from the bottom and folding over. Stop mixing after the egg white disappears. Divide mixture between 2 prepared ramekins. Place ramekins on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven until scuffles are puffed and have risen above the top of the rims, 12 to 15 minutes.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 425F.
- 2. Toss the walnuts with the vanilla and scatter them on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes, being careful that they don't burn.
- 3. In a bowl, beat the eggs and cream to blend. Add the melted chocolate and beat vigorously until frothy.
- 4. Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat until just hot. Add butter and walnuts and cook for 30 seconds.
- 5. Pour in egg mixture and cook for 1 minute. Transfer pan to the oven and bake until slightly firm, 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately invert omelet onto a 10-inch plate. Dust with confectioner's sugar and cut into wedges.
- 6. Serve with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
- Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before you start cooking. This will help them emulsify with the butter and sugar and create a smooth, fluffy omelet.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. If you overbeat them, they will become dry and stiff, and your omelet will be tough.
- Cook the omelet over low heat. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
- Serve the omelet immediately after it is cooked. This will help it stay fluffy and prevent it from collapsing.
