Yield 2-4

Number Of Ingredients 12

7 large eggs
1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
1/3 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons cheddar cheese, grated
2 tablespoons muenster cheese, grated
2 tablespoons gruyere cheese, grated
1 tablespoon butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
freshly ground pepper, to taste
22 oz. soufflé dish

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350º F and lightly butter or grease soufflé dish. In a mixer, beat eggs, sour cream, mustard and milk together for 25-35 seconds. Season with pepper, nutmeg and cayenne. (This helps aerate the eggs and adds lightness to the soufflé.) Sprinkle your cheeses on the bottom of soufflé dish and slowly pour egg mixture over the top-do not fill dish all the way up. Place soufflé dish in the oven and add remaining egg mixture to the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until soufflé is puffed up and golden brown. Do not open the oven door at all during baking, as soufflé will deflate. Remove soufflé from oven and serve immediately. It will eventually begin to deflate, so presentation is best right out of oven.
