Looking for a cheesy and savory delight? Dive into these scrumptious Cheddar & Chive Soufflés that are bound to elevate your taste buds to cloud nine!
Ingredients:
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
• 4 large eggs, separated
• 1/4 cup fresh chives, finely chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and lightly flour four ramekins.
. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about a minute until it forms a paste.
. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
. Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese until it’s completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and fold them into the cheese mixture along with the chopped chives. Season with salt and pepper.
. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate them.
. Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.
. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the soufflés are puffed up and golden brown on top.
. Serve immediately and enjoy the cheesy goodness!
