Never Fail Cheese Souffle
From blueeyes68ky 16 years agoIngredients
- 6 eggs, separated (room temperature---they're easier to beat) shopping list

- Nice twist to an old fave.... though separating eggs while they are still cold is easier - then let them come to room temperature. - You did a great job in letting people know souffles are much easier than they think! Brava!
