GOAT CHEESE SOUFFLÉS  
1
1
1
1/2 T. butter (more for buttering ramekins)  
1/2 T. flour  
C. milk  
Sea salt  
Freshly−ground black pepper  
5  
8  
eggs, separated  
oz. goat cheese  
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Place baking sheet on bottom rack of oven. Generously  
butter four 1 1/2 cup ramekins; place in freezer.  
In a small pan over medium heat, melt butter. When foam subsides, add flour and  
whisk to combine. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture begins to darken (this is  
a roux!). Slowly add milk, whisking so lumps do not form, and simmer until mixture  
thickens. Remove from heat. Season generously with salt and pepper. Whisk in  
egg yolks. Set aside.  
Place egg whites and a large pinch of salt in the bowl of a mixer. Mix until whites  
form fairly stiff peaks. Using a rubber spatula, add a third of the egg whites to  
sauce and fold until combined. Add sauce to remaining egg whites and fold until  
well mixed. Crumble cheese over mixture. Fold mixture once or twice to disperse  
cheese, but do not break it up. Remove ramekins from freezer. Spoon mixture into  
them, being careful not to smear sides and leaving 1/2 inch on top.  
Place ramekins on baking sheet and bake 16 to 18 minutes, until soufflés have  
risen and are still a little wobbly. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
