Made this as is, and it was fantastic. It came out of the oven with a beautiful golden crown. As CJ J noted, the crown fell, but that's a small price to pay when you're eliminating carbs. It also reheats well. Took the leftovers to work for lunch and let me say, this souffle is amazing with hot salsa.

It looked beautiful (photo in Fiestaware bread pan), then it fell. I sort of expected that as it lacks flour, but that's the whole point isn't it. Low Carb, no gluten, fast and easy to assemble. Despite falling it was still fairly light and fluffy and absolutely delicious. Will make again. Perhaps next time with a little more mustard.

When I read this recipe I thought it would turn out more like a baked omelet than a classic soufflé. I was wrong. It did not puff up quite as high as a classic soufflé, and was not quite as light, but it was very close and had great flavor with a beautiful texture. What a wonderful and delicious way to save both time and effort.
