For the Soufflé Base
  • 1 cup Finely Grated Parmesan or Pecorino Cheese Substitute with grated Grana Padano for a similar taste.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Use non-dairy milk alternatives for a dairy-free version.

  • 2 tablespoons Unbleached All-Purpose Flour Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence Dried Italian herbs can be used as a substitute.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Ensure it's measured to avoid over-salting.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Fresh Nutmeg Ground nutmeg is an acceptable substitute.
  • 4 large Eggs Must be at room temperature for optimal performance.
  • 1 cup Coarsely Grated Gruyere Cheese Swap with Emmental cheese for a milder taste.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare the ramekins by greasing them with butter and dusting with flour.
  2. Separate the egg yolks from the whites into three bowls, whisk the yolks lightly.
  3. In a saucepan, melt the butter, then add flour, salt, and Herbes de Provence stirring for 2-3 minutes until golden.
  4. Whisk in warmed milk until smooth, cook until slightly thickened, then fold in yolks and cheeses.
  5. Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, then carefully fold into the cheese mixture.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden, avoiding opening the oven during baking.
  8. Allow to cool for a minute, then garnish with fresh thyme and serve immediately.
