These mini cheese soufflés with fenugreek cheese are light, flavorful, and soft, with the delicious nutty aroma of fenugreek.

The combination of fenugreek cheese and caramelized onion gives a rich taste, while the soufflé remains wonderfully airy inside. Serve them straight from the oven with some fresh thyme.

Ingredients

Persons-+

100grams fenugreek cheese

1 medium onion
38 grams unsalted butter

1teaspoon honey

24 grams flour
150 millilitres semi-skimmed milk
3 eggs
A pinch of salt
Pepper to taste
A pinch of nutmeg
Fresh thyme
Extra flour

Two cheese soufflés with a salad and a glass of wine.

Preparation

1
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Grease the ramekins with butter and lightly dust them with flour. This allows the soufflés to rise beautifully during baking.

Sauté the onion in a bit of butter until golden brown. Add the honey and let the onion caramelize briefly. Allow to cool slightly.

Melt the butter in a pan and stir in the flour to form a smooth paste. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring continuously until you have a smooth, thick sauce. Add the grated fenugreek cheese, spices (salt, pepper, nutmeg, thyme, and a pinch of mustard powder), and egg yolks. Stir in the caramelized onion.

4
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and gently fold them into the cheese mixture. This keeps the batter light and airy.
5
Divide the mixture among the ramekins and bake for 15–18 minutes, until the soufflés have risen and turned golden brown.
6
Remove the soufflés from the oven and garnish with some fresh thyme.

Serving tips & combinations for mini cheese soufflés

Serving suggestion

Place the mini cheese soufflé on a bed of roasted vegetables or crispy lettuce, and add autumnal ingredients such as pumpkin, carrot, or nuts. This creates a delightful contrast between airy and crunchy textures, while the nutty aroma of the fenugreek cheese really comes through.

Flavor accents

Finish with a drizzle of honey or a pinch of spices like nutmeg or mustard powder. This adds a subtle depth to the savory soufflé without overpowering it.

Perfect for drinks or lunch

Serve several mini soufflés on a beautiful platter for an appetizer, or pair them with a light salad for a delicious lunch.
