• 2. Butter your souffle dish. If you wish to put a parchment paper collar around the dish, butter the top half of the collar and tie it with the buttered side facing inside the dish with kitchen twine. I didn't find this necessary because my souffle didn't rise up over the edge. Put the asparagus in the bottom of the buttered dish.

• 4. Add cheeses and seasonings; stir until the cheese melts. Add the beaten egg yolks and stir well. Remove from the heat; fold the egg whites into the cheese sauce.
• 5. Pour the mixture into your prepared souffle dish. Set the dish in a bigger dish and put it in the oven.
• 6. Being careful not to get any water into your souffle pour the boiling water from the kettle into the bigger dish. The water should be 1/2 inch deep around the souffle dish.
• 7. Turn the heat down to 350'F and bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until the souffle is golden on the top. It should rise up at least 3 times it's original size. Test it with a long wooden skewer. If any of the souffle is moist at the bottom leave it in a few more minutes. It should be totally cooked through.
• 8. The souffle should be crusty on the top but still jiggly when you shake it. Serve immediately, otherwise the souffle will lose it's nice crust on the top.

CHEESE SOUFFLé IN 4 EASY STEPS

Steps:

• Preparing the soufflé dish: Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and place a baking sheet on the middle shelf. Butter a 15cm soufflé dish generously, then sprinkle in the breadcrumbs and rotate the dish to ensure the butter is evenly coated. Tip out any excess breadcrumbs.
• Making a thick white sauce: In a pan, melt the butter over a medium heat; stir in the flour and mustard. Cook, stirring, for 1 min. Take off the heat and gradually stir in the milk, mixing it in thoroughly before adding more. Return to the heat and stir continuously until very thick (around 10 mins). Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool. Crack the eggs, placing the whites into a clean bowl and stirring the yolks into the sauce. Stir in cheddar and season well.
• Adding the egg whites: Use a clean whisk to beat the egg whites until peaks form that just hold their shape (electric is best as it will make the job much quicker). Then take a metal spoon and gently stir the whipped whites into the white sauce in a figure of eight.
• Top-hatting: Spoon the mixture into the dish. Run a cutlery knife around the edge to create a 'top hat' effect; this ensures the soufflé rises above the rim and doesn't stick. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 mins until the top is golden and risen and has a slight wobble. Serve immediately.
• EQUIPMENT: 15cm soufflé dish, saucepan, 2 large mixing bowls, wooden spoon, spatula, baking sheet, large metal spoon, measuring jug, grater, electric whisk, cutlery knife.
