May 18 is National Cheese Souffle Day


Rise to the Occasion with this delicious cheese souffle!


Jarlsberg® Cheese, the nationally recognized premium brand of cheese,  you and your family to whip up a gourmet meal that is simple, elegant and scrumptious. May 18 is National Souffle Day – so why not celebrate in style with this incredible, easy-to-use recipe from Jarlsberg® Cheese?

 Have you ever made a souffle? I don't think I have ever had the pleasure of eating a cheese souffle but I want to make my first souffle with my favorite cheese. My favorite cheese is Jarlsberg cheese. This cheese has a wonderful nutty flavor that is perfect in recipes and just eating. My family loves when I melt the Jarlsberg cheese on brioche bread with some orange honey. I discovered this cheese souffle recipe on the Jarlsberg website and wanted to share it with you as May 18Th is National Cheese Souffle Day.

 For now, I am just sharing this delicious recipe and when I have a chance to make it, I will share my experience with you. I would love to see photos of your cheese souffle if you decide to make this wonderful recipe. I also include a yummy recipe for watermelon salad that would go great with the souffle.

JARLSBERG® CHEESE SOUFFLÉ

Ingredients

1 cup milk

2 dried bay leaves

2 shallots, finely chopped

4 small ramekins

Baking paper

1 cup butter

4 tbsp. plain flour

salt

1 pinch cayenne pepper

1 tbsp. Dijon mustard

1 cup grated Jarlsberg® cheese

5 eggs with the whites and yolks separated

Jarlsberg® cheese for the topping

TO MAKE THE SOUFFLE

Pre-heat the oven to 400 °F. In a pan, heat the milk, bay leaves, and shallot until boiling. Remove the pan from the heat and let the contents rest for 20 minutes. Grease the inside of the ovenproof ramekins.
The soufflé mixture will rise quite high, so don’t overfill the ramekins. Melt the butter in a pan and stir in the flour.
Cook, stirring, for 1 min.
Strain the rested milk mixture, and gradually whisk it into the butter and flour mixture.
Cook over a low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
Remove from the heat. Stir in mustard, salt, cayenne pepper and grated Jarlsberg® cheese. Then stir the egg yolks into the mixture. Whisk the egg whites until stiff and gently fold them into the mixture, a little at a time. Divide the mixture between the greased ramekins.
Sprinkle a little extra Jarlsberg® cheese on top, if desired. Bake on the bottom shelf of the oven for 20-25 minutes until the soufflés are golden and well risen. They should be slightly soft in the middle. Serve the soufflés immediately after they are taken out of the oven. Serve with the below watermelon salad.

WATERMELON SALAD

watermelon
1 cup tomatoes
1 cup hazelnuts, roasted
1 lime
1 orange
2 cups olive oil

MAKES 4 PORTIONS
Slice the tomatoes and melon.
Make the vinaigrette by whisking the juice of the lime and the orange together with the oil and mixing well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with the tomato and watermelon salad garnished with roasted hazelnuts and with the vinaigrette.
