directions

  • Melt butter and blend in flour, salt, & pepper.
  • Add milk stirring constantly (medium-high heat) until the mixture bubbles and thickens.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the cheese until melted.
  • In a bowl beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • In another bowl beat egg yolks until thickened and lemon colored (about 5 minutes).
  • Stir cheese mixture slowly into the egg yolks.
  • Gradually pour yolk mixture over the stiff egg whites and gently fold together.
  • Pour mixture into ten custard cups or souffle cups (I use the large muffin tins) Cover the souffles with tin foil.
  • If using individual cups place all of them in one or two baking pans and place in your freezer.
  • Freeze souffles until 1 1/4 hours before serving time.
  • Before removing souffles from freezer preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Remove souffles from freezer and pour very hot water into the baking pan around the souffles to about 1/2" deep.
  • Bake the frozen souffles 1 hour 15 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove and serve immediately.

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
