Ingredients

  • 30 g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 30 g all-purpose flour
  • 250 ml whole milk, warmed
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 150 g Gruyère cheese, grated
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground white pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives (optional)
  • Pinch of cream of tartar

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F) and butter a 1.5‑liter ramekin, then dust with a little grated cheese.
  2. 2Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stir in the flour and cook 1 minute to form a roux; whisk in the warm milk gradually until smooth, then simmer 3‑4 minutes until thickened.
  3. 3Remove the pan from heat, stir in the egg yolks, grated Gruyère, salt, pepper, and nutmeg; mix until fully incorporated.
  4. 4In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  5. 5Fold one third of the beaten whites into the cheese mixture to lighten it, then gently fold in the remaining whites in two motions, preserving the air bubbles.
  6. 6Pour the batter into the prepared ramekin, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. 7Bake in the middle of the oven for 25‑30 minutes, without opening the door, until the soufflé has risen and the top is golden brown.
  8. 8Serve immediately, optionally sprinkling chopped chives over the top.
