  • 2 1/2 teaspoons softened unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • Large pinch of coarse salt
  • Small pinch of paprika
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/3 cup tightly packed grated cheese, such as aged cheddar, Swiss, or an aged mountain cheese

Directions

  1. Brush the inside of a 4-by-2 3/4-inch round baking dish with 1/2 teaspoon butter; coat bottom and sides with Parmesan cheese and set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees with a rack set in the center of the oven.
  3. Melt remaining 2 teaspoons butter in a small saucepan over low heat; stir in flour. Let cook for 1 minute and remove from heat. Add milk and whisk vigorously to combine. Return to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened; season with salt and paprika. Remove from heat and whisk in egg yolk.

    This was my 1st time making a souffle. It turned out pretty well. The recipe was easy and best of all, the souffle did not fall. It tasted pretty good..very cheesy. I would make this again, but may add some spinach or some other veggie.
