Preparation steps:

19 Method Steps

• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  Step 1
  
  
  
  
  Measure and prepare all your ingredients. Bring eggs to room temperature before using them - cold egg whites incorporate less air than those at room temperature. Use free-range eggs as they have a better flavour than battery hen eggs. Also, the more mature the cheddar, the tastier the souffle will be.
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  Step 2
  
  
  
  
  Start by preparing the souffle dish. The souffle will rise more evenly in a deep, round straight-sided dish, but shallower round or oval dishes can also be used - the souffle may not appear to rise as high but will still have a light and fluffy texture.
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  Step 3
  
  
  
  
  Brush a 2 litre (8 cup) souffle dish with the butter to grease. It is best to have the butter soft, not melted, so it forms a thick coating on the dish. Grease the base of the dish and then use even, upward strokes to grease the side, ensuring the butter coats the entire surface. If the dish is not greased well, the souffle will stick to it and will rise unevenly.
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  Step 4
  
  
  
  
  Place the dish in the freezer for 5 minutes to set the butter. Brush again with the remaining butter. Place the breadcrumbs in the dish and rotate the dish to coat with breadcrumbs. Turn the dish upside down and gently tap to remove any excess crumbs. The breadcrumbs help the souffle grip the side of the dish and rise evenly. They also form a delicious crust.
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  Step 5
  
  
  
  
  Most souffles are based on a flavoured, thick white sauce to which egg yolks and whisked egg whites are added. The air that is whisked into the egg whites expands in the oven heat and makes the souffle rise.
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  Step 6
  
  
  
  
  To make the sauce mixture, place the cheddar, mustard, salt and pepper in a medium heat-resistant bowl and set aside.
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  Step 7
  
  
  
  
  To make the roux (the cooked butter and flour mixture that thickens the sauce), melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until foaming. Add the flour and stir with a whisk for 1 minute or until the roux leaves the side of the pan and is bubbling. Don't allow the roux to brown.
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  Step 8
  
  
  
  
  Remove the pan from the heat and place on a wet dishcloth or damp tea towel to prevent it from slipping. Add 1/2 the milk while stirring constantly with the whisk. Stir vigorously until smooth and free of lumps. Gradually add the remaining milk, stirring until smooth. This will prevent lumps from forming in the sauce.
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  Step 9
  
  
  
  
  Return pan to medium heat and stir constantly until sauce thickens and comes to the boil. Constant stirring will ensure the sauce is smooth. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  Step 10
  
  
  
  
  Pour the hot sauce into the bowl with the cheese and seasonings and mix well.
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  Step 11
  
  
  
  
  Preheat oven to 180°C. Place 1 oven shelf in the bottom position and remove all other shelves. Place a baking tray on the shelf to heat. This will give the souffle instant heat on its base and assist with rising.
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  Step 12
  
  
  
  
  Separate the first egg, put the white in a small bowl and the yolk in a separate small bowl. Transfer the white to a clean, dry glass, ceramic or stainless-steel medium mixing bowl before separating the next egg. Repeat with remaining eggs. This way, if a yolk breaks into a white, you won't spoil all 4 egg whites. The egg whites, bowl and beater attachment/s must be free of any water, or fat such as butter, oil or egg yolks, as this will inhibit the whites from holding air and producing a good volume.
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  Step 13
  
  
  
  
  Add the egg yolks to the cheese sauce and mix until thoroughly combined. Use electric beaters to whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Do not beat the whites until stiff or they will be difficult to fold in and will give the souffle a grainy texture.
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  Step 14
  
  
  
  
  Spoon about 1/4 of the egg whites into cheese sauce mixture and use a spatula or large metal spoon to fold the whites through the mixture until just combined. To fold in, gently run spatula or spoon around side and along base of bowl and use a sweeping action to fold the mixture over on itself, rotating the bowl. Repeat until mixture is just combined.
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  Step 15
  
  
  
  
  The folding action is more gentle than a stirring or mixing motion and retains the air beaten into the whites. Adding just some of the whites helps to "loosen" the mixture and makes it easier to fold in the remaining whites.
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  Step 16
  
  
  
  
  Pour the cheese mixture into the side of the bowl containing the remaining whites (this is to minimise air loss). Fold in with the spatula or large metal spoon until just combined. The mixture should appear spongy with streaks of egg white throughout but without large clumps of egg white. Overmixing causes the mixture
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  Step 17
  
  
  
  
  to lose air and the souffle will not rise as well as it should. Undermixing results in clumps of unfolded egg white which cause uneven rising.
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  Step 18
  
  
  
  
  Pour into the prepared souffle dish and gently smooth top with a spatula. Run your thumb around inside rim of dish and about 2cm into souffle mixture (try not to wipe off the butter and crumbs). This ridge helps the souffle rise evenly. Place on the baking tray in preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  Step 19
  
  
  
  
  When it is ready, the souffle should be well risen and wobble slightly when the dish is tapped. If you are still unsure, test with a skewer through the side of the souffle. The skewer should come out clean and slightly moist. Serve immediately, and remember, a souffe waits for no-one.
