Cheese Souffle

It is a bit more work than macaroni and cheese, but if you're into dinner guests thinking that you really care about them, cheese souffle is the ticket. Served with a salad, and a simple dessert, this would make a romantic meal for your sweetie.  It can also be used as teaching moment for the kids. It teaches important lessons about how buying a stand mixer can save one's wrists from fatigue, or how incorporating air into egg whites makes them all pretty, and cloud-like.

 Cheese Souffle

4 egg yolks
4 egg whites
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
dash ground red pepper
1 cup skim milk
2 cups shredded cheddar

 Allow the egg yolks and egg whites to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

For cheese sauce, in a medium saucepan melt butter; stir in flour, dry mustard, and cayenne pepper. Add milk all at once.

Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat. Add cheese, a little at a time, stirring until melted. In a medium bowl beat egg yolks with a fork until combined.

Slowly add cheese sauce to egg yolks, stirring constantly. Cool slightly.

In a large mixing bowl beat egg whites with an electric mixer on medium to high speed until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight). Gently fold about 1 cup of the stiffly beaten egg whites into cheese sauce.

Gradually pour cheese sauce over remaining stiffly beaten egg whites, folding to combine. Pour into an ungreased 2-quart souffle dish.

Bake in a 350 degree F oven for about 40 minutes or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
