    Swiss Cheese Soufflé


    Source of Recipe


    by Millie, from The Frugal Gourmet Cooks With Wine

    Recipe Introduction


    Author's Note: There is no great secret to making a good soufflé. Remember that the eggs need to be at room temperature and the cheese sauce must not be too hot when you gently fold it into the whipped egg whites. This dish must be prepared just as your guests are about to arrive. You want it to come from the oven at the right moment as it will fall in a few minutes after being removed from the oven.
