What is a
Souffle?
A Soufflé
is a baked dish made basically of milk and eggs, to which
separately beaten egg whites give it an airy lightness. The
French it literally means "puffed-up."
Souffles can
be any type of dish, from morning egg breakfasts, to desserts,
seafood entrees or whatever your culinary imagination can whip
up. Many cooks believe that a souffle has to be handed very
carefully and not wrestled out of the oven only to fall flat.
It is the puffiness that really makes a souffle. So when you
dish is done, gently set it on a rack and let it slightly
cold.
