Ingredients
Servings
4
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 100g fresh goat cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously butter a 4-cup soufflé dish.
-
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook 1-2 minutes until roux is smooth and bubbly without browning.
-
Gradually add warmed milk while whisking continuously until the mixture thickens and begins to boil. Remove from heat.
-
Let béchamel sauce cool slightly. Stir in goat cheese, parsley, chives, thyme, salt, and pepper until smooth.
-
Beat egg yolks lightly and fold into the cheese sauce until well combined.
-
In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
-
Fold one-third of the egg whites into the cheese mixture to lighten it, then gently fold in remaining egg whites in two additions, preserving the airiness.
-
Transfer batter into prepared soufflé dish and smooth the top.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden, risen, and set with a gentle jiggle in the center.
-
Serve immediately to enjoy the soufflé at peak fluffiness.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I meal prep Savory Egg and Herb Soufflé with Goat Cheese?
- Yes. Portion it into airtight containers and keep toppings, sauces, or crunchy finishes separate when that will protect the texture.
- How can I increase the protein?
- Add a little more egg or pair the recipe with a compatible high-protein side such as Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, beans, or lean meat depending on the recipe style.
- Can I make it lighter?
- Use measured oil, lighter dairy or sauce options, and a larger vegetable portion while keeping the main protein amount steady.
- What should I watch when swapping ingredients?
- Keep moisture, salt, and cooking time in mind because high-protein swaps can dry out or firm up faster than the original ingredient.
Storage
Cool Savory Egg and Herb Soufflé with Goat Cheese before storing, refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 4 days, keep crisp toppings or fresh garnishes separate when useful, freeze only if the main ingredients tolerate thawing well, and reheat gently with a splash of liquid or a short oven, skillet, microwave, or air-fryer warm-up that matches the recipe texture.
