Cheddar-Crab Souffle image

A great souffle for an elegant meal. The sharp cheddar cheese stretches the flavor of crabmeat, yet contributes rich flavor on its own.

This souffle was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I'll use less cheese next time.

I'm not a fan of crab, so I substituted shrimp in this recipe. It turned out great! The shrimp added a delicious flavor to the souffle.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler souffle recipe next time.

The souffle didn't rise as much as I expected, but it still tasted good. I think I might have over-mixed the batter.

This souffle was delicious, but it was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less cheese next time.
