Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup half and half
Bay leaf
Herb bouquet
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 egg yolks
6 egg whites
6 ounces crumbled goat's cheese
1 teaspoon thyme

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour. Cook for five minutes, stirring. Do not allow to brown. Meanwhile scald the milk and add to the flour-butter mixture.
  • Add the bay leaf, herb bouquet, salt and pepper. Put the mixture in the top of a double boiler and simmer gently for 30 minutes. Add the crumbled cheese and egg yolks. Mix until smooth.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a souffle dish. Whip the egg whites until they stand up in a peak. Fold the cheese mixture into the egg whites and pour into the souffle dish. Sprinkle with thyme.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the souffle has puffed up with a golden brown top.
