Ingredients
  

For the Souffle:
  • 1/4 cup full-fat cream cheese adds rich texture
  • 4 large eggs separated, at room temperature
  • 4 ounces fresh goat cheese star ingredient
  • 1 lemon grated zest for brightness
  • 4 tablespoons sugar balances tanginess
  • 1 pinch salt enhances flavor
  • additional butter and sugar for preparing baking dishes

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Souffle dishes
  • Oven thermometer

Method
 

Preparation Steps:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dishes. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter the souffle dishes generously and sprinkle a bit of sugar inside.
  2. Step 2: Mix the Base. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and goat cheese until smooth. Add lemon zest, sugar, and salt, and mix well.
  3. Step 3: Add the Egg Yolks. Separate egg yolks from whites and stir yolks into the cheese mixture until fully integrated.
  4. Step 4: Whip the Egg Whites. In a clean bowl, whip egg whites to soft peaks, being careful not to overbeat.
  5. Step 5: Fold the Mixtures. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cheese mixture without deflating them.
  6. Step 6: Fill the Dishes. Spoon the mixture into prepared souffle dishes, filling them about three-quarters full.
  7. Step 7: Bake. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until puffed and golden. Avoid opening the oven too soon.
  8. Step 8: Serve Immediately. Remove from oven and serve fresh out of the oven for best texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for better lift.
  • Be gentle when folding in egg whites to maintain fluffiness.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
