Cheddar Cheese Souffle
4 tablespoons butter or margarine
4 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 cups milk
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon minced onion
Dash of Cayenne pepper
5 eggs, separated
Oven: 375 degrees
Grease a 2-quart, straight-sided souffle dish. Form a collar around the top with a folded length of wax paper, and secure with clips or wooden picks.
In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter, and stir in the flour and salt. Gradually blend in the milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and thick, about three minutes. Add the grated cheese, minced onion, and Cayenne. Heat until cheese is melted into the sauce.
In a bowl, beat the yolks until light and lemon-colored. Whisk beaten yolks into cheese mixture. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until they hold soft peaks. Carefully fold in cheese mixture, using a cut and fold motion, until well-blended. Do not stir, or the souffle will lose volume.
Transfer mixture to souffle dish. Bake about 40 minutes, or until puffed and brown. Serve immediately. Serves four or more.
