Rustic Feta Cheese Soufflé

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
This recipe brings the salty breeze of the Greek coast to French culinary technique. Unlike melting cheeses, Feta retains its crumbly, tangy character, creating delicious little savory islands in the airy batter. The result is a rustic, character-filled soufflé that's perfect for a light lunch with a green salad.

Instructions

1 ✓

Butter and flour the ramekins. Crumble the feta into small bits with a fork.

Tip: Feta can't be grated because it crumbles. The smaller the bits, the better they distribute.
2 ✓

Make a béchamel: Sauté the flour in the butter, pour in the milk, and cook until thick. Remove from heat.

Tip: The béchamel provides the body that suspends the cheese crumbs. [Viscosity]
3 ✓

Stir in crumbled feta, pinch of sugar, and egg yolks. Taste before adding any salt!

Tip: The sugar rounds out the flavors here, it won't make it sweet.
4 ✓

Whip egg whites to stiff peaks. Loosen the base with some whites, then fold in the rest.

Tip: Air trapped in the foam is an insulator, which is why the center cooks slower. [Heat Conduction]
5 ✓

Fill ramekins and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Tip: Due to the feta, the top might brown unevenly, but that's part of the rustic charm.
6 ✓

Serve immediately.

Recipe FAQ

It turned out too salty.
Feta is naturally very salty. In this recipe, do not salt the batter at all, or only very minimally!
Why didn't the cheese melt?
Feta isn't a melting cheese (due to high acid and protein structure); it just softens. That's the unique texture of this dish.

  • 3/4 cup Whole Milk (generous)
  • 1/3 cup All-Purpose Flour (heaping)
  • 2 tbsp Butter
