Absolutely! Here’s a light, fluffy, and savory baked egg soufflé recipe you can make at home. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a simple dinner 🥚✨
Baked Egg Soufflé
Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 3 large eggs, separated
- ¼ cup milk (whole or 2%)
- ¼ cup grated cheese (cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan)
- 1 small onion or shallot, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 small bell pepper or handful of spinach, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 tbsp butter (for greasing)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Pinch of nutmeg (optional, adds warmth)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven
- 375°F (190°C)
- Grease 2–3 small ramekins or a small baking dish with butter
- Optional: lightly dust with flour for extra rise
- Prepare the base
- Whisk together egg yolks, milk, cheese, salt, pepper, and optional nutmeg
- Stir in sautéed onion, pepper, or spinach if using
- Whip the egg whites
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form
- This is key for a fluffy soufflé
- Fold gently
- Carefully fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in 2–3 additions
- Use a spatula and fold lightly to avoid deflating
- Bake
- Pour mixture into ramekins
- Bake 20–25 minutes (larger dish may take 30–35 min)
- Soufflé is done when puffy, golden, and set in the center
- Serve immediately
- Soufflés start to deflate quickly once out of the oven, so enjoy right away
