📝Notes

Tips: For a smoother soufflé, ensure that the egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks. Avoid opening the oven door while the soufflé is baking to prevent it from deflating.

I always recommend making extra servings of this recipe because leftovers make an excellent next-day lunch or dinner!

If you do have some leftovers lying around after dinner, consider freezing them for up to three months – just be sure to label them properly so they don’t get lost in the freezer!

When reheating your frozen soufflé from scratch (not from the freezer), simply thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking until golden brown as usual.
