Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 large Egg yolks
• 3 large Egg whites
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 pieces Thick slices of crusty bread, toasted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly butter four 8-ounce ramekins. Set them aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1 minute to form a smooth roux.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat, then stir in the grated cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce until fully combined and smooth.

Step 5

Season with salt and black pepper. Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes before whisking in the egg yolks. Set aside.

Step 6

In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Use a rubber spatula to fold one-third of the egg whites into the cheese mixture to lighten it.

Step 7

Gently fold in the remaining egg whites, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

Step 8

Spoon the souffle mixture evenly into the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters of the way.

Step 9

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the soufflés have puffed up and turned golden on top.

Step 10

While the soufflés are baking, prepare the toasted bread slices as your base.

Step 11

Once the soufflés are done, carefully remove them from the oven and place each ramekin directly on top of a slice of toast or spoon the soufflé over the bread.

Step 12

Serve immediately, as soufflés tend to deflate quickly. Enjoy your rich and airy Soufflé Rarebit!
