Okay so I'm not going to rate this because, well mine collapsed on me. It was my first attempt at a souffle and was overall unsuccessful. However, the flavor was great and my bf said the soupy cheese mixture would be great on crackers, lol. Hopefully next time things will work out better.

I didnt have any cayenne on hand, so used Old Bay seafood spice in its place. This is a wonderful recipe. Will most definately be making it again.

Ellie, this was great. So easy and pretty enough for company. I followed the directions to the letter and couldn't have asked for better. It was light and airy. I served it with grilled chicken, steamed broccoli and a slice of fresh sourdough bread. Wonderful, even my DH who doesn't diet (or need to) loved it and asked to have it again. Thanks for posting

Fantastic souffle! I feel like setting up a brunch party just so that I'll have another excuse to make this soon. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out beautifully. Just the right amount of cayenne. Loved it. Thanks for posting!

Wow! I made this for Recipe Tag and my life has been changed:) My husband calls it "a fluff of delight". Like a cloud! I did not taste cayenne, maybe mine is past its shelf life. Thank you ellie!
