This egg dish will really impress your family and guests as it tastes as
good as it looks! The following recipe serves one, so multiply the recipe by as many people as your are serving.
This very unusual egg souffle dish is from the
cookbook called Winter In The Alps by Manuella Darling-Gansser which
I found on the Almost Bourdain web site.

Nuvolone
- Cloud Soufflé - Egg Soufflé
Recipe Type: Eggs,
Brunch & Breakfast,
Cream
Yields: 1 serving
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 5 min
Ingredients:
Butter for lining the ramekin.
2
eggs
, room temperature and separated
Sea
salt or coarse salt
2 tablespoons cream
3 tablespoons (1-1/2 ounces) grated Gruyere*
Freshly-ground
black pepper
* You
could substitute parmesan cheese.
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly
butter a 6-inch oven-proof ramekin or bowl.
Using your electric mixer, beat the egg
whites until they just start to become stiff. Add salt and continue beating
the egg whites until they form stiff peaks (like a meringue).
Spoon the egg whites into the ramekin
(reserving some for the tops). With the back of a soup spoon, make a well in
the middle of the egg whites, pushing the egg whites up the sides of the
ramekin. Carefully drop the two (2) egg yolks into the hole.
Carefully
pour the cream on top of the egg yolks.
Sprinkle the grated Grueyer cheese over the top and then some black pepper.
Add the butter pieces.
Smooth the egg whites back over the hole,
adding some of the reserved egg whites.
Bake approximately 5 minutes. The top
should be lightly golden, and when you break the crust, the yolks and cream
should be soft and hot.
Serve with some crusty bread to dip into
the yolks and cream.
Makes 1 serving.
