Gruyère Cheese Soufflé​

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
• 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
• 3 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cold whole milk
• 5 large eggs, separated
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 3 ounces Gruyère cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
• 2 tablespoons chopped chives
• 2 slices yellow American cheese, each cut into 6 strips

Directions:

1. Prepare the Dish:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Grease a 1-quart gratin dish with butter and dust it with the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
   • Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill.
2. Make the Béchamel Sauce:
   • In a medium saucepan, melt the 3 tablespoons of butter over moderate heat.
   • Add the flour and whisk constantly for 1 minute.
   • Gradually add the milk, whisking to combine.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, whisking continuously, until it thickens, about 1 minute.
   • Remove the saucepan from the heat.
   • Whisk in 4 egg yolks (save the remaining yolk for another use), salt, and pepper.
3. Prepare the Egg Whites:
   • In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until firm peaks form.
4. Combine Ingredients:
   • Whisk one-third of the beaten egg whites into the béchamel sauce to lighten the mixture.
   • Gently fold in the remaining egg whites.
   • Fold in the shredded Gruyère cheese and chopped chives.
   • Transfer the mixture to the prepared gratin dish.
5. Add American Cheese:
   • Arrange the American cheese strips on top of the mixture in a crisscross pattern.
6. Bake the Soufflé:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the soufflé is puffed and golden brown.
7. Serve:
   • Serve the soufflé immediately while it is still puffed.
