  • Preparation: 70 min
  • Cooking: 6 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (154 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 50 g Gouda cheese
  • 20 g Milk, whole
  • 8 g Butter, unsalted
  • 16 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 0.2 g Nutmeg
  • 15 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 25 g Breadcrumbs, dry
  • 20 g Vegetable oil

Method

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, stir in half the flour and cook for 1 minute to make a roux.
  2. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook, whisking, for 3-4 minutes until very thick. Off the heat, stir in the grated cheese and nutmeg until melted and smooth.
  3. Spread the cheese mixture onto a plate in a small rectangle about 1.5 cm thick and chill for at least 1 hour until firm and cold.
  4. Cut the firm cheese mixture into one piece and coat it in the remaining flour, then the beaten egg, then the breadcrumbs, pressing on firmly; repeat the egg and breadcrumb coating a second time for a sturdy crust.
  5. Heat the oil in a small pan to 180 °C (350 °F) and fry the soufflé for 2-3 minutes, turning once, until deep golden and the cheese inside is molten.
  6. Drain briefly on paper towel — the filling will be very hot — and let it cool for a minute before eating.
