Cheaters Cheese Souffle Recipes

EASY CHEESE SOUFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Brush butter on the bottom and up the sides of two 5 1/2-ounce ramekins. Scoop in some sugar; rotate ramekins to coat while pouring most of the sugar back into its container. Place ramekins on a shallow baking pan.
• Separate eggs between 2 bowls. Add sugar, flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, vanilla extract, lemon zest, cream cheese, and Cheddar cheese to the yolks. Mix the souffle base with a spatula until sugar and flour disappear.
• Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the room-temperature egg whites. Beat with a whisk until soft peaks form; peaks should hold their shape but not be stiff or dry. Stir and fold 1/2 of the egg whites into the souffle base until combined. Gently fold the rest of the egg whites into the batter.
• Fill ramekins up to the lip with the batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and browned, about 12 minutes. Serve immediately.

CHEATER'S CHEESE SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and place a rack in the center of the oven.
• Stir the cheese soup over low heat, adding the mustard, and stirring in the egg yolks one by one.
• Beat the whites and fold them in gently.
• Spoon into a buttered souffle dish, set in the oven, reduce the heat to 375 degrees F, and bake for 30 minutes.
• several recipes have told me not to butter the dish as it wont climb properly and thus wont rise, will have to try it with and without buttering. let me know which works better if you try it. i don't keep dry mustard in the house generally so i might try using other spices like dill, garlic, and onion salt. bit of chipotle or other spice would be nice and i'm picturing this with a sprinkling of paprika for garnish. wonder if you could do this with other soups? mushroom or cream of broccoli maybe, hmmmm. adding spinach or mushrooms to the soup part would be nice too.
