Ingredients

3 tbsp unsalted butter (optional)
1/2 cup finely grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups shredded good-quality sharp cheddar cheese
4 large egg yolks
2 tbsp finely chopped chives
5 large egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tartar

Steps

Heat the oven to 400 F and butter a 1 1/2-quart soufflé dish, then coat it with some grated Parmesan.
Melt the remaining butter in a saucepan over medium heat, whisk in the flour, and cook for 1 minute.
Whisk in the milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, then cook for 3 to 4 minutes until thick.
Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the cheddar, egg yolks, chives, and remaining Parmesan, and cool for 5 minutes.
Beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until firm peaks form, then gently fold them into the cheese mixture.
Pour the mixture into the dish and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until puffed, set, and firm in the center.
