Cheese soufflé - France
Cheese soufflé was made famous in America by the late, great Julia Child, and it remains a sophisticated classic French dish that never fails to impress (when done right). Beloved for its light, fluffy texture and rich, savory flavor, soufflé au fromage is made by mixing a rich cheese base with beaten egg whites and baking it in the oven until it puffs up into a golden, airy masterpiece. The key to making a perfect cheese soufflé is in the timing and temperature—it must be cooked at a high temperature to create the desired rise, but not for too long or it will collapse.
Where to eat: Head to Le Récamier in Paris's elegant 7th arrondissement, where you can enjoy one of its legendary cheese soufflés, in addition to a varied selection of other savory and sweet soufflés.
