Egg Soufflé
Report
There's no need to get bored with eggs, especially with this homemade egg soufflé recipe. It comes out so fluffy and delicious. Create a tasty brunch dish by adding variations of ham, cheese, spinach ... all of your favorite ingredients. I've adapted this recipe from Williams Sonoma Breakfast Cookbook.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter organic unsalted grass-fed butter recommended
- 2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
- 1 cup milk
- salt
- pepper
- 5 eggs local or organic pastured eggs recommended
Optional Fillings (1 cup)
- ham diced
- prosciutto
- basil or other herbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch round baking dish.
- Separate the eggs by placing the whites in a separate bowl from the yolks. Whisk the egg whites with a mixer on high speed until soft peaks form (pictured) and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the foam has subsided, whisk in the whole-wheat flour (this is called making a “roux”). Keep whisking until the mixture begins to brown then turn the heat down to low and slowly add the milk while still whisking constantly so lumps do not form. Turn it back up to medium and continue whisking until the milk mixture begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add 1/8 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Quickly whisk the egg yolks into the milk mixture without allowing them to cook.
- Pour the milk/yolk mixture into the fluffy egg whites and using a rubber spatula carefully fold the two together without crushing the air out of the egg whites. Also add and mix in filling (like ham and/or cheese) if desired. Do not overmix.
- Scoop the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake until lightly brown on top, about 20 – 25 minutes. Serve immediately (otherwise the soufflé will “fall”). Enjoy!
Notes
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
