1
Separate the Eggs
Separate the egg whites and yolks into two separate bowls.
2
Make the Roux
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly golden.
3
Add Milk
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
4
Mix in Egg Yolks
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the egg yolks, salt, nutmeg, and cheese until well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.

5
Whip the Egg Whites
In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a whisk or mixer until stiff peaks form.

6
Combine Mixtures
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
7
Prepare the Baking Dish
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a soufflé dish with butter and dust with flour.
8
Pour and Bake
Pour the soufflé mixture into the prepared dish and bake for 25-30 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
