Directions

Gradually pour in the milk to make a white sauce, then add two-thirds of the cheese and carry on cooking to melt. Leave to cool slightly, then mix in the remaining cheese, the cream or crme frache and the egg yolks. Season, then add the nutmeg and cayenne pepper.
  4. In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff. Fold into the cheese sauce, then carefully tip into the souffl dish.
  5. Bake the souffl for 25 mins until puffed up and golden.
  6. While the souffl is cooking, toss the salad ingredients together. Once the souffl is cooked, dress the salad and serve alongside.
