May 18: No Fail Recipes for National Cheese Soufflé Day

May 18 is National Cheese Soufflé Day! This French-inspired dish is called a "soufflé" which means to "to puff up". This characteristic comes from the effect that happens when whipped egg whites and custard are kept in a hot oven for some time. The exact souffle origin is not known but it definitely is a favorite everywhere today!

Making the perfect soufflé is quite a challenge. A slight change in temperature can cause your soufflé to fall flat. It also takes some time to make. But the end result, when done right, is definitely worth it. When choosing the type of cheese to add to your cheese soufflé, you would do well with something that is aged, strong, and pungent so the aroma and the flavor can come out once you break into the crust. This dish is so good it can be served as the main course in any meal. Food stylists pair them with decorative souffle ramekins for some artistic food photography.

To save you time when making your soufflé, you can prepare the crust and refrigerate it before you have to bake it but make sure to serve it once it comes out of the oven. Try out some of these expert fun and easy soufflé recipes from our Dishfolio community to try your hand at this spectacular dish!
