Low Carb Cheddar Cheese Souffle
This recipe was first published in a book by Carol Cutler called The Six Minute Souffle, but I found it on the blog www.sweetyetsour.com where her daughter posted it. In additon to being a tasty, low carb dish I believe it is also gluten free. I followed Ms. Cutler's ingredients and instructions to a "T", but did lightly dust the buttered souffle dish with grated parmesan cheese (additional amount to the 1/4 cup ingredient), and the top of the souffle as well as the edges were an attractive deep brown when baked. I find that leftovers heat well in individual portions in the microwave.
