i just made this recipe, and it was amazing. my first souffle, and it turned out perfect -- thank you! i think the serving size may be a little low; i ate half the souffle for dinner (but that was all i ate).

I have never attempted a souffle before, but this looked too good to pass up! I definitely could have prepared it better, but even with my amateur cooking skills and poor execution, it was STILL amazing! Next time I will make sure the egg whites aren't still somewhat runny, will make sure to saute the onions before starting the white sauce, and won't forget to add the cheese before adding the egg whites... Fool proof recipe, I LOVE it! Thanks for sharing! :D
