    This wasn't difficult at all! and no chopping! I had never tried cooking or eating a souffle before and this was fluffy, savory and delish! I substituted Gruyere Cheese for the cheddar cheese and served with sausage, melon and french bread. Heaven! Thank you!

    I'm a long time AB fan, and had seen this episode a bunch over the years. However, my fear of both having to whip the egg whites and doubts over being able to assemble the whole thing held me back for a while. When I mentioned it to my wife, she said, "Eggs are cheap."

    Anyways, I tried it, and it came out beautifully! And it turns out to be one of my wife's favorite recipes.

    Additional info on this recipe plus lots of great stuff from AB can be found at I'm Just Here for More Food by Alton Brown<img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=tech07c-20&l=as2&o=1&a=1584793414" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />

    My first attempt at souffle was surprisingly easy and tasted wonderful! I actually halved the recipe, using 2 egg yolks and 3 whites. It wasn't a diffuclt recipe, just labor intensive. The souffle dish I used had a 2 cup capacity and after putting the mixture in, I realized that if it rose as it was supposed to, it would be too high. So I extended the height of the dish by wrapping aluminum foil around it to give it more room for expansion. I was glad I did! It rose even above the foil. I will definitely use this recipe again...maybe even experiment with other cheeses.

    This was my first time making a souffle. I am very pleased with the results. I do have a couple of suggestions. Separate the eggs early so they will be ready when the white sauce comes together. Also, the flour and butter were quite dark by the time 2 minutes was up. On the episode he says two minutes or when you smell something nutty. It was hard to smell anything other than garlic when that was cooking and I have a killer olfactory system. If you are familiar with making white sauce, trust your best judgment, if not, watch the flour color to see that the brown flour does not make for a tan souffle.

    Overall, this is an excellent recipe. I am giving it a five.

    This is a great recipe except it says to use room temprature butter and on the show Alton used cold butter and then stuck it in the freezer. This makes the butter harder to melt and gives the souffle a better chance to rise up the souffle wall.

    This souffle came out perfect and looks so beautiful AND did not fall! It really isn't difficult and not all that labor intensive. From past experience with other souffles, I made the base two hours ahead of time so just before baking, all I had to do was incorporate the egg whites into the base and stick it in the oven. Next time will use a Guyere (sp? or other Swiss.

    Came out perfectly, Alton's recipes are always reliable on the technical side. A little too underspiced would be my only criticism, though depth of flavor was still excellent.

    The cheesy flavor in this souffle was delicious but... the texture was really messed up it was almost liquidy, it is my first time making a souffle so I'm sure I did something wrong but just know that the title "difficult" holds true
