Best Top Hat Cheese Souffle Recipes
CLASSIC CHEESE SOUFFLE (JULIA CHILD)
This recipe was adapted from a version in "The Way to Cook" by Julia Child as printed in the April 2008 issue of bon appetit. The article claims that this is an easy foolproof recipe for this souffle. I've yet to try it yet but can't wait. I've never made a souffle before -- too many stories of failures for me to bother. This has changed my mind.

CHEESE SOUFFLE
What a wonderful dish! Its easier then it sounds. I was a very very young cook when I made this for my family. My son, with his own family just recently asked me to make this again for him. My kids loved this dish.. and it really is simple to make.. The most important thing is your timing. It MUST be eaten as soon as it comes from the oven or it absolutely will fall!Enjoy! Delicious with a salad and dessert. MEMO: you do NOT grease your baking dish, or it will have nothing to cling to so it can climb. The directions in the book specifically said DO NOT GREASE!

Fasten the 'collar' around the top of your casserole so that it extends 2-inches above the top of our dish. After baking, remove the collar.
