Easy Cheese Souffles image

Doesn't it feel great to eliminate a step in a classic recipe and have the new one turn out better? I was actually working on something I was going to call 'cheesecake souffle,' and since I was adding cream cheese to the base, I decided to skip the classic white sauce, and simply smear everything together.

Time 32m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons white sugar, or as needed
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
⅓ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Brush butter on the bottom and up the sides of two 5 1/2-ounce ramekins. Scoop in some sugar; rotate ramekins to coat while pouring most of the sugar back into its container. Place ramekins on a shallow baking pan.
  • Separate eggs between 2 bowls. Add sugar, flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, vanilla extract, lemon zest, cream cheese, and Cheddar cheese to the yolks. Mix the souffle base with a spatula until sugar and flour disappear.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the room-temperature egg whites. Beat with a whisk until soft peaks form; peaks should hold their shape but not be stiff or dry. Stir and fold 1/2 of the egg whites into the souffle base until combined. Gently fold the rest of the egg whites into the batter.
  • Fill ramekins up to the lip with the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and browned, about 12 minutes. Serve immediately.

I've made these cheese souffles several times and they are always a hit! They are so light and fluffy, and the cheese flavor is perfect. I usually add a little bit of chopped ham or bacon to the batter for extra flavor.

These cheese souffles are a great way to use up leftover cheese. I always have a few odds and ends of cheese in my fridge, and these souffles are the perfect way to use them up.
