Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cups low-fat sour cream
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
5 large egg yolks
7 large egg whites
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Butter a 2-quart souffle dish. Add 1 cup cheese, tilting dish to cover bottom and sides with cheese. Shake out any excess. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  • Place sour cream in a large mixing bowl. Sift flour into sour cream. Whisk sour cream and flour until well combined. Add egg yolks, one at a time, whisking after each addition. Stir in salt, cayenne, chives, and remaining 2 cups cheese.
  • Place egg whites in a very clean, large bowl, preferably copper. Whisk vigorously until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into sour cream mixture.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared souffle dish and bake until souffle has risen 2 to 3 inches above the rim and top is golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Serve immediately.
