Ingredients

• 4 large eggs, separated
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, for garnish

How to Make Savory Soufflé with Herb Sauce

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 1.5-quart soufflé dish with butter and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until it forms a paste.
3. Gradually add the whole milk, whisking continuously until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Stir in the shredded Gruyère cheese, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
5. In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks until pale and fluffy. Slowly add the cheese mixture to the egg yolks, mixing until fully combined.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
7. Pour the soufflé batter into the prepared dish and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the soufflé is golden and puffed.
8. While the soufflé is baking, prepare the rosemary sauce by combining 1/4 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped rosemary in a small saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes, then strain the mixture and return it to the saucepan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Once the soufflé is done, remove it from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with the rosemary sauce and garnish with fresh rosemary.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your egg whites are free from any yolk; even a small amount of yolk can prevent them from whipping properly.
• Fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture gently to maintain the airiness of the soufflé.
• Avoid opening the oven door during baking, as sudden temperature changes can cause the soufflé to deflate.

Easy Variations

• Swap Gruyère for other cheeses like cheddar or feta for a different flavor profile.
• Add sautéed spinach or mushrooms to the cheese mixture for added texture and taste.
• Experiment with different herbs such as thyme or chives for the sauce and soufflé.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a heartier meal.
• Sliced fresh fruit for a refreshing contrast.
• Toasted baguette slices for added crunch.
