Cheese soufflé (Soufflé au fromage)
(Cheese soufflé)
Airy and simple, this legendary French comfort food consists of a cheese base combined with whisked egg whites, butter, milk, and flour. The dish puffs up into a decadent, golden soufflé when baked. Cheese soufflé is believed to have been invented during the late 18th century.
Today, it is typically served hot in small ramekins straight out of the oven.
