Ingredients
Gruyère Soufflés
Cut the celery into thin slices. Melt the butter in a saucepan, sauté the celery until softened, sprinkle with flour and cook until light golden brown and nutty. Gradually stir in the milk and boil until thickened, stirring. Season with salt and pepper and add the nutmeg.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease 4 small ramekins with butter.
Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff. Whisk together the egg yolks and cheese then gently fold in the egg whites.
Distribute between the ramekins and bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Do not open the oven during the first 15 minutes or the soufflés can collapse.
Serve immediately.
