Method

Step 1:

  • Preheat oven to 190ºC 
  • Grease 6 small soufflé dishes, 8cm x 5cm deep
  • Pour cheese  sauce into a medium mixing bowl. Add egg yolks, breadcrumbs  and pecorino and mix well.
  • Wipe the inside of a large glass mixing bowl with a slice of lemon. Add egg whites to bowl.


Step 2:

  • Whip egg whites to soft peak stage
  • Gently fold half into the sauce, when almost mixed, fold in remaining whites. Don’t overmix.


Step 3:

  • Place ramekins into a large roasting pan and fill right to the rim with mixture
  • Add enough boiling water to fill the pan 2cm deep. Insert the tip of a knife 1cm deep along the edge of the dish.
  • Run it around the edge of each ramekin to create a gap. This prevents the soufflé from rising over the edge.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed up and golden 
  • Serve immediately


Ina' tip:

  • A great way to prepare soufflés in advance is to bake them twice. Don’t attempt this method with a large soufflé – it will be too big and heavy to rise a second time around.
  • When preparing soufflé dishes, line bases with baking paper circles to make turning out easier.
