Soufflé - fluffy French dish

Soufflé is a classic French dish with a characteristic fluffy texture. The base consists of a flavored mixture of egg yolks into which beaten egg whites are carefully folded. During baking, the whites expand and the soufflé rises above the rim of the dish. There are sweet versions with chocolate or fruit and savory versions with cheese or spinach. Soufflé is baked in ramekins and must be served immediately.
