Cheeseboard soufflé

So I'm doing a Christmas Calendar of Christmasy Foods.

Ingredients:

50g Butter (plus extra for greasing)
25g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
200ml Milk
300g leftover hard cheese, cut into chunks
100ml double cream or crème fraîche
4 Egg (separated)
Grating of nutmeg
Pinch cayenne pepper

 Serves: 4

Instructions:

Pre-heat the oven to 180oC (fan).

Melt the Butter in a saucepan.

Brush a 20cm dish with butter, then dust with flour.

Stir  the Flour and the Melted butter together in a pan.

Sizzle for 1 minute.

Gradually pour in the Milk to create a white sauce.

Add 2/3 of the Cheese and melt.
Set aside and leave to cool.

Once cooled, mix in the remaining Cheese, Cream/Creme Fraiche and Egg Yolks.

Season and add Nutmeg and Cayenne Pepper.

Whisk the Egg Whites until stiff.

Fold into the Cheese Sauce.

Pour into the dish.

Bake for 25 minutes until puffy and golden.

Serve.
