Cheese Souffle
by Tarla Dalal

The Cheese Soufflé is a savoury treat, which you will devour with delight! A combination of eggs, cheese and milk gives this soufflé a fabulously cheesy texture, while mustard paste and a dash of pepper give it an irresistible flavour.

Remember that each serving of the soufflé has to be baked in an individual container, as it has to be served in the same container – you can’t unmould it. Serve the Cheese Soufflé immediately after baking.

Serve with French Beans with Sesame-Seeds or Pasta Salad with Basil Vinaigrette and Melba Toast .

Hi Tahira, We do not deal with any non-veg recipes. If you make the mustard powder at home, it will give a bitter taste as it is not aged well. We advice you to use the readymade sauce that you easily get in smaller quantity.
