Cheese Souffle
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown

Ingredients
Butter, room temperature, for greasing the souffle
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/3 cups milk, hot
4 large egg yolks (2 1/2 ounces by weight)
6 ounces sharp Cheddar
5 egg whites plus 1 tablespoon water (5 1/2 ounces by weight plus 1/2 ounce

water)
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Directions
Use room temperature butter to grease an 8-inch
souffle mold. Add the grated Parmesan and roll around the mold to cover the sides.
Cover with plastic wrap and place into the freezer for 5 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a small saucepan, heat the butter. Allow all of the water to cook out.
In a separate bowl combine the flour, dry mustard, garlic powder, and kosher salt.
Whisk this mixture into the melted butter. Cook for 2 minutes.
Whisk in the hot milk and turn the heat to high. Once the mixture reaches a boil,
remove from the heat.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks to a creamy consistency. Temper the yolks

into the milk mixture, constantly whisking. Remove from the heat and add the
cheese. Whisk until incorporated.
In a separate bowl, using a hand mixer, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar
until glossy and firm. Add 1/4 of the mixture to the base. Continue to add the
whites by thirds, folding very gently.
Pour the mixture into the souffle. Fill the souffle to 1/2-inch from the top.
Place on an aluminum pie pan. Bake in the oven for 35 minutes.
