Servings: persons

4 Tablespoons Butter
1/4 cups All-purpose Flour
1-1/2 cup Warm Milk
2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
2 Tablespoons Shredded Parmesan
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
6 whole Eggs (Yolks And Whites Separated)
1 whole Large Tomato, Seeded And Diced
1/2 cups Chopped Fresh Basil

1
Preheat oven to 325F. Spray a souffle dish or straight sided casserole dish (about 2 quart size) with cooking spray.
2
Make a bechamel sauce: Melt the butter over low heat in a saucepan then add in flour. Stir for 30 seconds then whisk in the milk. Cook over medium heat until the sauce has thickened and comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for a couple of minutes and then stir in the cheddar and parmesan cheese, salt and cayenne pepper. Stir until cheese has melted then remove from heat.
3
In a bowl beat egg yolks lightly. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of the cheese sauce. Gradually whisk the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Mix in tomato and basil, transfer to bowl and set aside.
4
In a large bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, fold a third of the egg whites into the cheese mix. Fold in the rest of the egg whites.
5
Pour mixture into the prepared souffle dish. Run your thumb around the inside edge of the dish to create an indention. (This will give you the top-hat look). Bake in the preheated oven until souffle is puffy and golden, about 55 minutes. Do not open the door until it is done!
6
Serve and enjoy!
