Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled and at room temperature
  • 3 large eggs, separated and at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for greasing ramekins)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons fresh chives, finely chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional, helps stabilize egg whites)
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (for dusting ramekins, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Thoroughly butter four 6-ounce ramekins, using upward strokes. If desired, dust with Parmesan cheese. Place on a baking sheet.
  2. Separate eggs, placing whites in a large clean, dry mixing bowl. Allow to come to room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks with heavy cream, melted butter, flour, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly lightened in color, about 2 minutes.
  4. Gently fold the crumbled goat cheese and chives into the yolk mixture using a rubber spatula.
  5. Using a hand or stand mixer with clean beaters, beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar if using, then increase speed and beat until stiff peaks form.
  6. Add one-third of beaten egg whites to the yolk mixture and gently fold in to lighten. Then add remaining whites and fold with a light hand using a figure-eight motion until just barely combined.
  7. Pour batter into prepared ramekins, filling about 3/4 full. Run your thumb around the inner edge to create a slight channel for even rising.
  8. Place in oven and immediately reduce temperature to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 15-18 minutes until puffed and golden brown on top.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh chives if desired.

Notes

  • For maximum rise, ensure all equipment is scrupulously clean and egg whites are whipped to perfect stiff peaks.
  • The soufflé will begin to deflate shortly after removal from the oven, so have everyone ready to enjoy it immediately.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated, though they won’t regain their original height.
  • Nutrition facts are estimates and may vary based on ingredients used, portion sizes, and preparation methods.
