Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 teaspoons softened unsalted butter
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/3 cup milk
Large pinch of coarse salt
Small pinch of paprika
1 large egg yolk
2 large egg whites
1/3 cup tightly packed grated cheese, such as aged cheddar, Swiss, or an aged mountain cheese

Steps:

  • Brush the inside of a 4-by-2 3/4-inch round baking dish with 1/2 teaspoon butter; coat bottom and sides with Parmesan cheese and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees with a rack set in the center of the oven.
  • Melt remaining 2 teaspoons butter in a small saucepan over low heat; stir in flour. Let cook for 1 minute and remove from heat. Add milk and whisk vigorously to combine. Return to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened; season with salt and paprika. Remove from heat and whisk in egg yolk.
  • Place egg whites in a medium bowl and whisk until they form soft peaks. Add a dollop of egg whites to saucepan along with half of the cheese; stir to combine. Fold in remaining egg whites and cheese and pour into prepared baking dish.
  • Transfer baking dish to oven and reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Bake until top is lightly browned and souffle has risen, about 18 minutes. Serve immediately.
