Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup finely chopped scallion
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 slices of lean bacon, cooked, drained, reserving 2 tablespoons of the fat, and crumbled
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cups milk
cayenne to taste
1 1/2 cups coarsely grated Cheddar (about 6 ounces)
4 large eggs, separated

Steps:

  • In a small heavy saucepan cook the scallion in the butter and the reserved bacon fat over moderately low heat, stirring, until the scallion is softened, stir in the flour, and cook the roux stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the milk in a stream, whisking, and boil the mixture, whisking, for 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the cayenne, the Cheddar, and salt and pepper to taste, whisking until the cheese is melted. Add the egg yolks, 1 at a time, whisking well after each addition, and whisk in the bacon. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they hold stiff peaks, whisk about one fourth of them into the cheese mixture, and fold in the remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Pour the mixture into a buttered 1 1/2-quart soufflé dish and bake the soufflé in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until it is puffed and golden. Serve the soufflé immediately.

This soufflé was a disaster! It didn't rise properly, and it tasted like eggs. I don't recommend this recipe.

I'm not a big fan of soufflés, but this one was actually pretty good. It was light and airy, and the flavor was nice.

This soufflé was a little tricky to make, but it was worth it. It was so light and fluffy, and the flavor was amazing.

I love this soufflé! It's so cheesy and flavorful. I always add a little extra bacon, because who doesn't love bacon?

This soufflé was a hit at my dinner party! It was light and fluffy, with a perfect balance of cheddar, bacon, and scallions. My guests raved about it.
