Wild Rice and Blue Cheese Skillet Souffle
An easy-to-make souffle, this is a sophisticated, versatile and very impressive-tasting recipe which I only make occasionally since it's not on my usual low-fat list but, oh, how very tasty! A breakfast, lunch or light dinner main course or even a complete meal in itself. BTW, you don't need an unusual frying pan for this, but just make sure it's 9-inch, non-stick for clean-up and flame proof for the broiler. Another good one from a Williams-Sonoma kitchen cookbook.
