Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup finely grated fresh parmesan cheese, plus extra for sprinkling
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup scalded milk
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch nutmeg
4 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature
3 oz good roquefort cheese, chopped ( stilton)
5 extra large egg whites, at room temperature
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
fresh fruit

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400ºF.
Butter the inside of an 8 souffle dish (7 & 1/2 inches in diameter and 3 & 1/4 inches deep) and sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese.
Melt the butter or margarine in a small saucepan over low heat. With a wooden spoon, stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Off the heat whisk in the hot milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, the cayenne and nutmeg. Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, for 1 minute, until smooth and thick.
Off the heat while still hot, whisk in egg yolks, one at a time. Stir in the Roquefort and the 1/4 cup of Parmesan and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Put the egg whites, cream of tartar, and a pinch of salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachement. Beat on low speed for 1 minute, on medium speed for 1 minute, then finally on high speed until they form firm, glossy peaks.
Whisk 1/4 of the egg whites into the cheese sauce to lighten and then fold in the rest.
Pour into souffle dish, then smooth the top, GENTLY. Draw a circle on top with the spatula to help the souffle rise evenly and place in the middle of the oven.
Turn the temperature down to 375ºF. Bake 30-35 minutes(don't peek) until puffed and brown.
Serve immediately with Chambord and fresh or/& frozen fruit.
