Prepare Ahead

The soufflés can be prepared up to the end of step 4, several hours ahead of time.


Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas 4). Lightly butter the ramekins and line the bottoms with circles of greaseproof paper.


  2. 2

    Melt the butter in a pan, stir in the flour, and mix to a smooth paste. Gradually add the milk, and stir continuously until the sauce thickens and is smooth.


  3. 3

    Leave to cool slightly, then beat in the egg yolks and goat’s cheese. Season well. Using an electric whisk, beat the egg whites in a bowl to soft peaks. Mix 1 tbsp egg white into the sauce, then gently pour the sauce over the remaining egg whites and carefully fold the ingredients together, using a metal spoon; do not over-mix. Spoon into the ramekins.


  4. 4

    Place the ramekins in a roasting tin and add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the dishes. Cook in the oven for 15 minutes, or until firm. Remove from the tin and allow to cool. Run a round-bladed knife around the edge of each soufflé and carefully turn out on to a baking tray.


  5. 5

    Increase the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F/Gas 6). Pour the cream, mustard, and pepper into a saucepan and bring to the boil, then allow to bubble until thickened. Top each soufflé with 2 tbsp of the mixture and the Parmesan. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden. Serve with rocket leaves and red onion chutney.
