Leftover Cheese Souffle
Method
This is the perfect dish to make with any cheese leftovers after Christmas or any other large cheese binge. You can use any cheese and in fact blue cheeses work particularly well.
1. Butter four ramekins with soft butter and freeze – repeat three times to ensure a good coating. Coat the inside of each ramekin with breadcrumbs and walnuts mixed together.
2. Melt butter in saucepan and add flour stirring until the mixture becomes a light coloured roux.
3. Still stirring, gradually add the milk and then add the grated cheese.
4. Pour this mixture into a bowl and beat in the egg yolks. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Whisk the eggs whites to soft peaks and add a little lemon juice. Carefully fold the egg whites into the mixture.
6. Gently pour the soufflé mixture into each ramekin. Smooth with a spatula and place in baking tray filled with boiling water.
7. Place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees c and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Serve immediately with a green salad.

It looks like the yummy cakes I see in the oniretal bakeries.From your posts it sounds like you already understand some of this but just some friendly advise dont cook to please mom. Especially if shes an typical oniretal mom (or dad). They will never show they are satisfied (I speak from experience). Cook to please yourself and remember, its the journey.
