Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter and flour a 6-cup soufflé dish.
Melt Butter from the Base group in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in Flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.
Gradually whisk in Milk from the Base group until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until thickened. Season with Nutmeg, Salt, and Pepper.
In a large bowl, combine Spinach, Cheddar Cheese, Parmesan Cheese, Cream Cheese, and Egg Yolks from the Filling group. Stir well.
Stir the cheese and spinach mixture into the white sauce (Base).
In a clean, dry bowl, beat Egg Whites from the Egg Whites group with Cream of Tartar until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold one-third of the beaten egg whites into the cheese mixture to lighten it. Then, gently fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the mixture into the prepared soufflé dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Serve immediately.
