From rich, velvety Camembert to the tangy bite of Roquefort, the creamy smoothness of Comté, or the nutty depth of Gruyère, there’s a cheese soufflé to suit every mood and occasion. Feeling adventurous? Try a goat’s cheese and herb version, or a bold Parmesan and truffle oil twist for extra indulgence.

Fun Facts & History

The word soufflé comes from the French verb souffler, meaning “to puff up” or “to breathe” — a perfect description of its delicate rise in the oven.

📜 First recorded in the early 18th century, the soufflé was a favourite of French aristocracy and became a symbol of refined dining.

⏱ Timing is everything! Serve it the second it comes out of the oven, before it sighs and gently deflates.

🍷 Cheese soufflés pair beautifully with a chilled glass of Sancerre or a crisp Chardonnay, balancing the richness with a refreshing note.

Serving Inspiration
