Ingredients:
Grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
5 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 cups whole milk
6 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons (packed) coarsely grated Sharp Cheddar cheese (about 6 ounces)
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

8 large egg whites

Directions:

  1. Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°F.

  3. Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook without browning until mixture begins to bubble, whisking constantly, about 1 minute
  4. Gradually whisk in milk.
  5. Cook until smooth, thick and beginning to boil, whisking constantly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  6.  Mix yolks, salt and pepper in small bowl. Add yolk mixture all at once to sauce and whisk quickly to blend.
  7. Fold in 1 1/4 cups Cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (cheeses do not need to melt).
  8. Using electric mixer, beat whites in large bowl until stiff but not dry. 
  9. Fold 1/4 of whites into lukewarm soufflé base to lighten. Fold in remaining whites. 
  10. Transfer soufflé mixture to prepared dishes.
