Herbed Cheese Souffles-so light and fluffy, so delicate. And you can make them ahead then bake just before ready to serve.
I have to tell you this is a breakfast dish that you’re going to thank me for. It’ll impress your family and friends and it’s very little work. These Herbed Cheese Souffles are perfect for Breakfast, brunch or an afternoon luncheon with friends.
My Aunt made this for us the first morning of our visit and we were blown away.
Everyone comes down from bed, I seem to notice she put something in the oven and 45 minutes later, we’re sitting down eating this. No fooling around, cooking everything up. It was all done the day before then stuck in the freezer.
And you don’t need to have ramekins to make this, you can make it in a coffee mug.
This will make about 6-7 servings depending on size. Just pull out what you need and bake away. Oh, and you can even bake them up in the toaster over if you’re just doing one or two.

Herbed Cheese Souffle
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions (2 onions)
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 6 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- few drops hot sauce or red pepper seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheese, swiss or cheddar
- 6 eggs, separated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon tarragon
- 1 teaspoon marjoram
Instructions
- Butter or spray six 1-cup ramkins, souffle dishes or coffee mugs (make sure mugs are oven safe.)
- Saute onions in butter until tender in medium sized saucepan or skillet, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in flour and salt, stirring constantly until mixture bubbles.
- Gradually stir in milk, Continue stirring until mixture thickens and starts to bubble.
- Remove from heat and stir in cheese, mustard and hot sauce. Add in Parsley, tarragon and marjoram.
- In small bowl beat egg yolks. Add eggs to hot cheese sauce, stirring constantly until well combined.
- In a large bowl beat egg whites till stiff. Fold in cheese mixture until no streaks remain.
- Spoon into prepared dishes, cover with plastic wrap and freeze.
- To bake-place frozen souffles on a cookie sheet, bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until puffed and golden. Cooking time will vary based on the size of your baking dish. My smaller ramekins and the coffee mug only took about 40 minutes to cook, the larger ramekins took 45 minutes.

May 1, 2012 at 2:13 pmOh my goodness…this looks FABULOUS! I’ve been meaning to try a cheese souffle recipe that my mother gave me, but I love that this one has the added flavors! And things I can make ahead of time make life SO much easier!
Joan@chocolateandmore says
May 2, 2012 at 10:44 amThanks Becky! You need to try both your mom’s recipe and this one. I’ll bet you can incorporate both recipes and come up with something terrific!

September 22, 2013 at 2:51 pmThese look and sound delicious! I have a bit of a hit-and-miss record with souffle, but I’ll definitely be making these – I’m getting hungry just looking at them lol!
I found your blog via Premeditated Leftovers 🙂
Joan Hayes says
September 22, 2013 at 11:01 pmI love that you can freeze them for baking later. So glad you found me, welcome!
Laureen says
April 5, 2014 at 8:33 amHi Joan, your herbed cheese soufflé looks exceptional for breakfast, I’ll be trying this recipe soon!
Vanessa says
April 6, 2014 at 12:51 pmSo there aren’t any issues with freezing the dishes then putting from frozen temps into the oven? The dishes won’t crack?
Joan Hayes says
April 7, 2014 at 5:09 pmAs long as you are using oven safe ramekins, there is no issue with placing your soufles directly from the freezer to the oven.
sabrina says
April 23, 2014 at 12:24 pmHow long will they last in the freezer? I can’t wait to try this recipe!!
Joan Hayes says
April 27, 2014 at 7:49 amYou can leave these in the freezer for a few weeks. I use the expiration date on my egg carton as a guide and try not to leave them frozen for more than a week after that date.
Angelica says
March 19, 2015 at 7:07 pmDid you use fresh or dried tarragon and marjoram?
Joan Hayes says
March 27, 2015 at 9:11 amI used dried but either will work.
