Souffle a light, fluffy baked dish made with egg yolks and beaten egg whites combined with various other ingredients and served as a main dish or sweetened as a dessert.
A Souffle can be sweet or savory and served as a main dish, appetizer, side dish or dessert. It is made from a flavored base, then lightened with egg whites and baked in a round, straight-sided earthenware dish. It bakes very high and then falls quickly, so it is served straight from the oven. The outer crust is crisp and the interior is soft. It's a classical dish with many flavors!
