Twice Baked Cheddar Cheese Soufflé With Stilton Sauce

  1. We rub our soufflé dishes with butter before dusting them with flour. Place the butter in a small sauce pan and melt on a medium heat.
  2. Add the flour and stir well, continue to cook until it pales and becomes dry. Meanwhile, warm the milk and nutmeg to taste in a separate pan. Slowly add the warmed milk to the roux.
  3. Keep on whisking while you add the remaining warm milk. Take the pan off the heat and add the grated cheese, stir until it has all melted and add the Dijon and egg yolks.
  4. Season to taste with salt and plenty of pepper. Whisk the whites to stiff peaks. Fold the whites through the soufflé base and pour into the moulds, to about 1/2 cm below the rim. Bake for 12-15 minutes at 160˚C and then remove from the oven and leave to cool in the moulds.

50g Arla unsalted butter

Dairy is the star product in a lot of the dishes, from pastry to custards it’s important that the dairy we’re using is up to standard and is sourced in the correct way from people and businesses we trust.
