Cloud Souffle for Breakfast


Serves 1

Ingredients:
2 Eggland's Best eggs, separated
Sea salt
cream (2 fl oz)
grated Gruyere cheese (1 1 /2 oz)
Freshly ground black pepper
(1/2 oz) unsalted butter

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Butter an individual ramekin per person. Beat the egg whites. When they start to become stiff, add salt to taste. Continue beating until they hold their peaks well.

2. Spoon the egg whites into the ramekin. With the back of a soup spoon, make a well in the middle of the egg whites, pushing the egg whites up the sides of the ramekin. Carefully drop the 2 egg yolks into the well.


3. Then add the cream and Gruyere. Grind over some black pepper and add the knob of butter. Smooth the egg whites back over the hole.

4. Bake in the oven for 4 to 5 minutes. The top should be lightly golden, and when you break the crust, the yolks and cream should be soft and hot.
Serve with crusty bread to dip into the yolks and cream.

Thanks for the compliments. But this recipe is so easy, it just doesn't feel right to take any praise. Please give it a try, you won't regret it.

This looks amazing, and you make it sound so easy to make! I have never tried to make souffle before, because it always seemed too difficult. Now I just need some ramekins...
