Remember: the souffle doesn't wait for the guests, the guests wait for the souffle. Be ready to whisk it to the table as soon as it's out of the oven.

Ingredients

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (6 oz.)
4 eggs, separated, at room temperature
1/2 tsp cream of tartar

Directions

Heat oven to 350F. Mix flour and salt in medium saucepan; gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Reduce heat to low. Add cheese; stir until melted. Remove from heat.
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in mixer bowl with whisk attachment on high speed until stiff but not dry, just until whites no longer slip when bowl is tilted.
Stir egg yolks into reserved sauce until blended. Gently but thoroughly fold yolk mixture into whites until no streaks of white remain. Carefully pour into ungreased 1-1/2 to 2-quart souffle dish.
Bake in 350F oven until souffle is puffy, delicately browned and shakes slightly when oven rack is moved gently back and forth, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve immediately.
