Our family loves this recipe! Perhaps 2-3 months ago, I tried it for the first time, and this was my first attempt at making souffle. I used canned salmon. Today, I had leftover fresh salmon to use up, so I put it in a baggie & weighed it (8oz), crumbled it, then pulsed in food processor, and when it was time to assemble the souffle, used an extra egg, to balance out the extra 2 ounces of salmon. Very good and easy to make!

Use this recipe whenever I make one. I do however cut back on the flour by 1&1/2 teaspoon for single recipe. When I bubble the recipe I cut it back by 1 tablespoon. Remember do Not open oven while cooking until your end time or the soufflé will collapse

I used to make this a lot the first few years I was married. It was my “fancy” dish. That was the early 90s. I used tuna instead of salmon back then because tuna was cheaper. I lost my recipe and found this recently. So glad I did. My husband and I love this.

This is my first try. Hope it rises. It didn't rise. What did I do wrong?
