Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for ramekins
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese (1/2 ounce)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1 cup grated Gruyere cheese (2 ounces)
2 tablespoons minced chives, plus 1 tablespoon 1/2-inch pieces
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 large eggs, room temperature, whites and yolks separated
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
2 cups packed baby arugula (2 ounces)
4 strips bacon, cooked and broken into large pieces, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter two 2-cup ramekins, coat with Parmesan, and refrigerate. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; stir 1 minute. Add milk, whisking until thickened, 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Whisk in Gruyere, minced chives, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Whisk in egg yolks.
  • Whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold into cheese mixture in thirds. Divide between ramekins. Bake on a baking sheet 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees; bake until puffed, about 15 minutes.
  • Whisk together oil and vinegar; drizzle over arugula. Season to taste. Top with bacon and chive pieces, and serve with souffle.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheese souffles didn't turn out well. They were flat and dense. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

I'm not a big fan of bacon, so I omitted it from the recipe. The cheese souffles were still delicious, but I think the bacon would have added a nice smoky flavor.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I made these cheese souffles with egg replacer. They turned out great! They were just as light and fluffy as the traditional version.

These cheese souffles were a disaster! They didn't rise properly and they were rubbery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The cheese souffles were delicious, but the bacon and arugula salad was a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more seasoning to the salad.
