Twice-Baked Goat Cheese Souffle is an old French classic appetizer, loved for its light and fluffy texture. It is made using goat cheese and whipped egg whites, giving the souffle its signature airy texture. When baked, it becomes golden brown on the top and creamy on the inside. This dish is perfect for entertaining guests at a dinner party or for a cozy dinner for two. It can be served with a light salad, some crusty French bread, or on its own, and pairs excellently with a glass of red wine or champagne.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.Coat the ramekins with butter and breadcrumbs. Discard the excess.
3.In a small saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the cake flour and whisk for 1 minute. Stir in the milk and continue whisking until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and add salt and pepper.
4.Stir in the goat cheese. Add the egg yolks and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
5.In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
6.Fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture gently using a spatula.
7.Fill in the ramekins with the mixture.
8.Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the souffles are golden brown. Serve immediately.
