Parmesan Soufflé

This is one of the recipes from the Italian Masterclass I attended last week. I love cheese and I love soufflés so just had to recreate this recipe!

The cheese isn't too overwhelming and is just the perfect consistency! 

I made this as a starter for my dinner on Saturday evening so look out for the 2 other courses which I will be posting soon!

Ingredients:

• 40g butter
• 80g plain flour
• 250ml milk
• 3 eggs
• 100g grated Parmesan cheese
• 200g grated Emmental cheese
• Nutmeg
• Salt & pepper
• vegetable oil

Preheat the oven to 160C/320F/gas mark 3.

Start off by melting the butter in a saucepan. Once melted add the flour and stir. Cook for a few minutes whilst stirring then slowly add the milk whilst whisking.

Continue to whisk until thickened. Season with the nutmeg, salt & pepper.

Whilst still hot, add the egg yolks, parmesan and emmental cheese.

Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold into the cheese mixture.

Using a brush, oil 4 ramekins with vegetable oil then pour the mixture into each ramekin.

Cook in the oven with a bain marie for about 30 minutes.

Bon appeit!
