Goat Cheese Souffles

Category: Vegetarian

3 Tbsp unsalted butter, plus more for dishes
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour, plus more for
dusting
1/2 cup whole milk, warm
4 ounces firm aged goat cheese, grated or
coarsely chopped ( about 1 1/2 cups )
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 large eggs

preheat oven to 375. Butter four 1-cup souffle dishes. Dust with flour, and tap out excess.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle flour over top, and cook, whisking, for 1 1.2 minutes. Add milk, cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook, whisking, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in yolks.
Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold cheese mixture into whites. Divide among souffle dishes, filling to 1-inch from top. Place on a baking sheet, and bake until puffed and golden, 12-15 minutes. Serve immediately.
