Secrets of Soufflé Success
Wine Spectator|September 30, 2022
Home chefs have long been daunted by the specter of the deflated soufflé, an enduring trope featured in TV shows and movies throughout the 20th century.

Secrets of Soufflé Success

Guy Savoy's Soufflé au Comté

4 eggs, separated

7 ounces aged Comté cheese, grated

4 tablespoons butter, softened

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

7 ounces milk Fine salt Freshly ground black pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Put a kettle of water on the stove to boil.

2. Use 1 tablespoon of the butter to coat the insides of four 8-ounce ramekins, then dust them with flour. Set them aside in a cool spot.

3. Make a béchamel by melting the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour until well-combined and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Do not brown; lower the heat if necessary. Add the milk and cook, stirring regularly, until the sauce thickens.

4. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the egg yolks and cheese. Season with salt and ground pepper. Place the egg whites and a pinch of salt in a well-chilled metal bowl. Whip the whites with a large whisk until they form soft peaks; this should take 5 to 10 minutes. Gently fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture, one-third at a time. Do not overmix.

Restaurant Awards- Lazy Bear- Lazy Bear bills itself as a modern American dinner party. But it's so much more.

Lazy Bear bills itself as a modern American dinner party. But it’s so much more. This Mission District restaurant effortlessly strips away the formality of a multicourse dinner and replaces it with conviviality, nostalgia and curiosity. With reverence for time and place, Lazy Bear is an ode to California where guests dine in concert with the season and can explore diverse wines, including an impressive collection of older California vintages.
