Directions

  1. 1Make a sugar coat on a ramekin by buttering and then adding sugar, lightly coating the edges to ensure that the soufflé won't get stuck.
  2. 2Add egg yolks, sugar, flour, shredded cheese of choice, and cream cheese into a bowl.
  3. 3Mix with a hand mixer until smooth.
  4. 4Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until they have stiff peaks, as this makes the soufflé rise.
  5. 5Add half of the egg white mixture.
  6. 6Gently fold it in by bringing the outside into the middle, keeping the air in.
  7. 7Once incorporated, add the rest of the egg whites and gently fold in until a smooth texture.
  8. 8Spoon into ramekins.
  9. 9Flatten out the tops for a prettier rise.
  10. 10Pop in the oven for 12 minutes, and don't open the door or they might not rise properly.
