• dash of salt
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 2/3 cup shredded cheese of choice such as cheddar or jack

STEP 1.

Preheat oven to 400*F. Prep souffle ramekins by coating all sides and bottom with butter and then sugar, this prevents sticking.

STEP 2.

Separate egg yolks from whites in two bowls. In the yolk bowl add 2 tsp sugar, flour, salt, cream cheese and shredded cheese. Mix to combine and set aside. In the egg white bowl with a standing mixer or by hand, whisk egg whites to stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture. Pour into ramekins up to the very top and bake for 12 minutes.

Remove from the oven once the souffles have risen and are golden brown. Serve immediately!
