Best Soufflé Recipes

This recipe is quick and easy to make for a potluck dish. 

This blue cheese and honey soufflé was amazing! My husband loves blue cheese and we were having company for dinner and I want to add something else to our steak dinner. I decided an hour before our guests were arriving to make this soufflé and it was a huge hit. Everyone put it on their salad plate with their salad (I added blue cheese to the salad, too).

The soufflé, meaning “to puff up,” is a delicate French cake made simply of combining egg yolks with beaten egg whites and just a few of other ingredients.  The combination of custard and egg whites causes the pastry to puff up when baked, hence the name.

This foolproof soufflé recipe delivers tons of chocolatey taste. Your dinner guest will love the molten center and you will love how simple the recipe is to make.

So this is the chocolate soufflé recipe you’ve all been waiting for, but it’s a bit more like a flourless chocolate cake than a soufflé. It doesn’t give a whole lot of height like a traditional soufflé would, primarily because the ratio of egg whites to the volume of the chocolate base is low. But alas, what comes up must come down, and most towering soufflés do indeed collapse by the time you set them in front of your guests — which is why I like these less fancy little things. They’re denser and more chocolate-y and if you take them out at just the right moment, they’re a little gooey in the middle in the best possible way. They don’t rise as tall, but I think you’ll love them anyway.
