Ingredients
- Butter or margarine
- Grated Parmesan cheese or bread crumbs
- 4 egg yolks
- 5 egg whites
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and wrung-out dry
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and dust a 1-1/2 quart souffle dish with grated Parmesan or breadcrumbs. Separate the eggs. Put egg whites in mixer bowl with cream of tartar. To make a white sauce, in a medium saucepan over medium high heat, melt the butter or margarine until it bubbles. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly until smooth and bubbly. Stir in milk all at once, than cook and stir until mixture boils and is smooth and thickened. To flavor the white sauce, stir in the cheese until melted. Stir in the spinach. Set aside. Beat the egg whites only until they cling to the side of the mixing bowl when you roll and tilt it. Add the yolks to the sauce, and stir. To fold the sauce into the whites, first mix about a quarter of the whites right into the sauce in the pan, then empty the sauce into the whites in the mixing bowl. Gingerly but thoroughly fold the sauce into the whites. Then pour that mixture into the prepared souffle dish. Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes. Don't open oven door for at least 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

This is the first Souffle that I've ever made and it was such a huge hit. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out ABSOLUTELY perfect! I sent a picture of my souffle to all my friends because I was so proud of how it turned out and it tasted even better than it looked. The texture was so light and the spinach really added a lot of great flavor. I will definitely be making this for a dinner party to WOW my friends. Next time I will try and add mushrooms for even more flavor!

This was my first time making a souffle. It was a pretty easy recipe to make. I used parmesan cheese instead of the cheddar. I also grated in a little onion. It was fantastic!!!! I will be making this again!

I have NEVER made a souffle in my life! I was amazed at how simple and easy the directions and ingredients were. My four year old LOVED the souffle and would have eaten the entire dish if she had a choice. I called up my mom to brag about my new found souffle making and now I am slated to make it for Christmas dinner with the prime rib. I did put in a pinch of salt and pepper, but found the pepper to be a little overpowering. I also added whole wheat flour rather than bleached, I also added yellow and white cheddar (about 1 cup and a half. I cooked it for 35 minutes and it came out perfect! Enjoy!
