Souffle.
No word in the English (or French, in this case) language evokes more fear in a home cook's heart than souffle.
A souffle is considered the holy grail of cooking. If you can make a souffle, you can make anything.
I'm gonna let you in on a little secret.
A souffle is really not that hard to make!
Personally, I find it a lot easier than trying to make a good fried egg!
If you are looking for a romantic meal to make for Valentine's Day, look no further than this cheese souffle for two from Real Simple!
This has been my go-to Valentine's Day meal for the past two years. This year I made it early since I had that awesome smoked cheddar cheese I got at Guggisberg in Shipshewana last month.
I thought it would be perfect in the souffle, and boy was I right! It was nothing short of amazing!

| The cheese sauce base. |
 |
| The egg whites "whipped into submission." |
 |
| I use a pyrex dish coated in butter and Parmesan cheese instead of a souffle dish because that's what I have. I might try putting it into two little ramekins next time though, just for something different! |
 |
| Cheese sauce all folded into the egg whites and ready for the oven. I'm not sure if all that nonsense about being quiet around a souffle is nothing more than nonsense or not, but I'm not taking any chances! |
 |
| Voila! A delicious cheese souffle! It collapsed slightly after taking it out of the oven, but that doesn't affect the taste! |
 |
| My mouth is watering just looking at it! Next up to try, a chocolate souffle! |
