Cheese Souffle - Savoury

Submitted by Kiwi Kathy

"A really quick and easy soufle to put together. Can be whipped up quickly after work and is delicious with either a salad and potatoes or a selction of vegetables. I've been making it for years and recently made it again when I came home from work one night at the end of the week and there wasn't much on offer in the fridge. I have copied the recipe as it was originally given to me, but when making now, I use very little butter on the top."

This made a very nice light linch that our family enjoyed. It was easy to put together and fast. Made for the RECIPE SWAP #26 - March 2009
