🇫🇷 France recipe

Souffle au Fromage

The cheese souffle is the ultimate test of a French cook's skill: a dramatically risen golden pillow with a crisp exterior and a trembling, creamy interior of intense Gruyere flavor. The magic lies in perfectly whipped egg whites folded into a rich bechamel-based cheese sauce, which inflates in the oven's heat to towering heights.
