French Souflé

Made with basic components like eggs, sugar, butter, and flour, a French souflé is creamy and light and frequently flavored with fruit, cheese, or chocolate. Its name, which translates to “to puff out” in French, perfectly captures its rich, delicious taste that melts in your mouth and its delicate, cloud-like texture.

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

• Soufflé with chocolate. Melt some dark chocolate into the soufflé base to make a rich dessert. Add a little orange zest or vanilla flavor to intensify the sweetness. Any chocolate lover will like the rich, velvety flavor of this decadent version. For a refined appearance, dust the completed soufflé with cocoa or powdered sugar. Serve it warm with a spoonful of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
• Parmesan and Mushroom Soufflé. Add grated Parmesan cheese and sautéed mushrooms to the batter to add earthy flavors. For a gourmet touch, use a mixture of wild mushrooms.
