Cheese soufflé with nutmeg is an exquisite and airy French delicacy that delights with its delicate texture and rich creamy-cheese flavor. The soufflé originated in the culinary traditions of 18th century France and became a symbol of refined European cuisine. In this recipe, classic cooking techniques combine with aromatic spices: nutmeg adds exquisite warmth, while cayenne pepper and mustard provide a light spiciness. Whipped egg whites create a weightless structure, and parmesan finishes the dish with subtle salty notes. This soufflé is perfect for special occasions when you want to impress guests or enjoy a cozy dinner.
